Motorola Zumocast :: Transfers, Music, And Video Failing?
Oct 5, 2011
I have a new Droid Bionic and a new Macbook Pro intel i7. Zumocast worked the first couple of times that I used it on the Bionic but now cannot play the videos it used to play and has not been able to play any type of music. Tried downloading some mp3 files onto the Bionic and they all failed.Web access worked once but now the files will not play.
I'm working with an XP machine and am always getting an immediate "failed" download when trying to get .asf files from my machine. I'd hate to have to convert all of these files. They do show up on the Bionic's option for stream or download and to begin transfer but just fail. Is there a way to get this to work.
I have a large music library and it seems that I can't access all of it from the Music tab on the zumocast app (phone and desktop). If I go to files, I see and can play all of the songs, but not from the music tab. It's annying because it's easier to navigate via the Music tab (albums, artists, etc.)
So I was all excited about this whole zumocast thing when I got my bionic, but hardly any of the videos I try to stream work. Keeps saying video file format not supported. Zumocast claims it supports all video formats.
Zumocast works great for my music and pictures. Just can't get my video files to play. The videos were taken with a Sony HD video camera. The file extension of the videos are .m2ts. how I can get these files to play on my Bionic?
however, most of my music does not show up. I usually use iTunes to play my music but most of what is listed there, does not show up on ZumoCast. Interestingly, iTunes opens up on my computer when I try to access my music with my phone.
I have Zumocast loaded on both my phone and computer. On my phone it shows all my files and I can see all my music. When I click on a song it will bring up the screen to play it and then it goes right away. Everytime I try to download a song to my phone it fails.
I just tried syncing music to my MotoACTV. It was going along fine, and then I got an error along the lines of "There is a network failure on drive F:. The data is lost." I have done a factory reset, and have uninstalled and reinstalled the motocast software. When I try to sync, it goes through the "Analyzing files" stage and then gets to "Syncing Music to Device" and freezes. I have tried syncing several different playlists, and nothing works.
I have the Bionic and have loaded Zumocast on my laptop and my desktop. My desktop music library is a few thousand song files in one folder. I get to listen to them using the random button on my Bionic with no problems. I have started Ripping all my music CDs to my laptop. They are stored in the Music file, the a sub file for each artist, then a sub album for each album, then the individual files. I must open each folder down to the album folder to listen to my laptop music. This means I can not use random and listen to all my files of all albums. My question is obviously, How can I listen to all the files without manually opening each folder to access them? Can Zumocast do this, or can you suggest a way for me to group all the music in one big playlist to access with Zumocast?
After logging in and when I try to access my ZumoCast Music I get the following error after it looks like my itunes library is loading. "An error occurred that prevents the application from running: Unable to get value of the property 'get': object is null or undefined."
I have Mac Osx 10.5.8 and i downloaded it, installed it and did the initial settings but then it crashed and everytime I try to open it, after about 3 seconds. i restarted by computer, reinstalled it twice, i have no idea whats wrong! it works fine on my droid 3, just not my mac.
I have a Black Armour Net Drive attached directly to my home router.Is there a way to get ZumoCast to access that drive without having to go through my home computer?
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge which is using android lollipop 5.0.2 and suffer from the following problems.
Video problem: I could not watch any video in my device. In Facebook application and got this error “failed to play video an unknown error has occurred". YouTube app. got this error "there was a problem while playing touch to retry". Gallery video even if it has been recorded by the camera earlier.
Audio problem: I’m not able to play any music, got this error “sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file." and this file is the "Over the Horizon" song which came with the device. When i go to the settings to change the ringtone I am not hearing any sound for all them. I did not put the phone in silent mode but no sound for any received calls, notifications or SMS.
I tried everything i know to solve this issue, I done all of the following but it does not works: Clear the cache memory. Uninstall all the application from the device. Factory reset. Update software.
The only thing work with me is to restart the device but it will not solve the problem permanently, it will happen again after few hours.
I am trying to transfer my music, ringtones to my new atrix 4g and from what I have gathered from various postings I need to make separate folders for everything...such as notifications, ringtones, and texting tones. Seems kind of silly to me since some of these files have dual functionality and I do not want to have the same file in multiple folders to serve different purposes.
If there is a list of suggested folder locations/names for the atrix either on an sd card or the onboard memory I cant seem to find it anywhere. To sum up my request I would hopefully like a single folder where I can have all my tones for ringtones, notifications tones, and alarm clock tones including being able to attach specific ringtones to contacts in my address book.
Ever since the wi-fi at my work stopped working (whole separate issue which I still haven't figured out), I noticed my cellular data usage spike up significantly. Now obviously this shouldn't be surprising, as I've had to use cellular data instead of wi-fi, duh. However, all I really used my phone for at work was to check email, and the attachments were set to never automatically downloaded. I started analyzing my AT&T bill and noticed random large chunks of cellular data usage: 3-4 mb during the middle of the night, 15mb during the day, etc. The other day, my phone transferred nearly 40mb for 3 hours straight! I called up AT&T tech support, and they eventually put me all the way to Motorola second tier support, and yet no one could tell me what was going on. All they could tell me was that Android phones normally transfer data here and there in order to sync. BS -- the only account I have on sync is my gmail email and work calender. I have ZERO social applications set up with Motoblur.
After 3 hours on tech support, I gave up and decided to start toggling some settings. I turned on "Sync over Wi-Fi only" for data delivery of social applications, and this seems to have fixed it. The past two days my AT&T usage logs only show a few KB here and there. My battery also seems to last longer now, as it's not being forced to transfer data over 3G/4G for hours on end! Since I had no social applications set up with Motoblur, this makes no sense. Why would it still need to be transferring that much data??? Anyone else experience this? I wonder if someone at Motorola technical support could tell me exactly what was being sent to Motoblur.
I have been getting error messages on my phone, first with mp3 and now with online videos, that the file type is not supported or cannot be played. Usually a reboot fixes it but not always. Not a consistent problem but once it starts it seems to happen a lot and then mysteriously stop.The second problem is my phone not ringing.Got yelled at for not answering the phone but it never rang. Shows missed calls but not making noise at all, even when I try to preview rings they won't play
I keep getting the OTA update on my Droid 4 and I let it download and then say install. It goes through the motions like it's installing but then GB loads back up and I see an error prompt that says the update failed. I am not rooted and I'm running an unmodified 2.3.6 GB that the Motorola Droid 4 comes with. Any ideas why it's failing? Also, after I get the fail prompt if I want to try it again I have to download the update file all over again which takes a long time even over my wifi internet connection, is there a way to store a copy of the update file on my sdcard so I don't have to keep downloading it?
I have installed ZumoCast on my Vista PC and have been able to access it from my Droid 3. How do I add other PC's to my server list??? I have looked all through the FAQ and can not find any instructions.
I keep getting the message, " The latest zumocast desktop client does not work with your iOS ZumoCast applicayion at this time.Please continue to check back for updates" what do I do?
hen I click on Zumocast icon, it says the app is not installed. Where can I download it for the Bionic? The only device I see that supports it on Motorola site is the Droid 3
I installed the windows verson, it installed and loaded just fine. but when I open it I see the icon in the icon try for like 5 seconds then its gone. I have installed the lastest java, disabled antivirus, unistalled, restarted computer and reinstalled. Still has not worked.
My phone is a Moto Droid 3.I turn on ZC, but after a while it just turns off. By itself.I've turned the screensaver OFF, the energy saver OFF, and hit the ZC setting "Never go to sleep." My computer does NOT go to sleep, and yet, ZC still closes, by itself.If it helps, I have an iMac.This is preventing me from actually being able to use ZC.
This morning I was prompted to download & install the new update OTA. I have attempted to do so 4-5 times now. Each time, it completes the download, reboots the phone to start the update, then when the update progress bar is about 1/2 of the way through, an icon with an exclamation point appears & then the update stops. The phone proceeds to boot up like normal. After it finishes booting up it displays a message stating that the update failed.I really would like to NOT have to do a factory reset to my phone just to get the update to install
I've had great success opening pdf, Word, wav, m4a, Powerpoint, and videos using Zumocast on my Bionic. But every time that I try to open a jpg file, I simply get the twirling blue icon. I've let it "do it's thing" for as much as 15 min with no success.Zumocast is on a Windows Vista PC.
