[Q] How to add mp3 file to Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 521) from Linux - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to add MP3 files to Windows Phone by linux machine. How to do this?
Recently I bought Lumia 521 phone.
I connect the phone to my linux(Ubuntu) machine.
Ubuntu have MTP support, and I can open Phone directory by file manager.
The phone have sub-directories Documents, Music, Pictures, Ringtones and Videos.
I copy my MP3 files to Music directory, but "Music + Videos" app in phone doesn't recognize the file.
I tried to use "Windows Phone app" in Windows machine.
Added MP3 files by the windows phone app was recognized by "Music + Videos" app.
Is there any way/application to add MP3 file by linux?

Thanks for reply.
I tried gmtp by package.
I can copy media to phone. It recognized by phone.
But the file on gmtp is not shown in gmtp window.
Next I tried mtp-tools package, mtpfs and qlix.
But there didn't works well.
(Maybe all of this uses libmtp.)
Finally I found rhythmbox supports mtp.
This looks works now.
I'll use this.
Thanks,

Cant view windows folder from computer

I used to be able to see the windows folder (on my phone) from windows explorer (on my computer). Where the hell did it it go????
Hidden? Check folder options on you're computer.
Sorry I should've put that in my initial post. I have the folder options set to show hidden/system files.

You're running Vista? Windows shows it by default. Vista doesn't.
Anyway, you have to disable option Hide Windows System Files and Folders in folder options.

To be honest I'm not quite sure what you are asking but I think it is that your windows folder is not showing on your pc when exploring thru AS. Have you tried to explore via my computer/mobile device? Is it the same when you do?
After you click on the Explore button and the window opens, click on: My Windows Mobile Based Device.
It should be the first item listed at the top of the explorer window.
Then you will see all the root level folders ... including \windows.
On your PC, double check your Folder Options in the Windows Control Panel. Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
Actually that "hide protected operating system files" only applies to the PC.
It makes no difference when you are talking about your connected Windows Mobile device.
That option is checked on my PC, and I can see and browse the Windows Mobile \windows directory just fine.
When you first click on the Explore button it launches you into the My Documents folder on the WM device. To move to the root you need to click on My Windows Mobile-Based Device.
Me either can`t see windows folder, I tried both ways, with unchecked hide protecting operating blah-blah, through AS and My Computer, and I can`t see the Windows folder on my Kaiser.

Help Please!!! m4a Files (m4r Iphone ringtones)

Before I did my last ROM Flashing, i'm sure that WindowsMedia was playing my m4a files (with out any convertion), but now it won't. My files was m4r (Iphone ringtones) but i Changed the files extension to m4a. I used these files like a Ringtones in my Xperia.

If I choose open an m4a file with sndplay.exe opens sndplay and the errors windows appear: There is not enought memory to play the recording (of course, it's enough memory)
Please Help me!!!!!

Cast from Windows to Chromecast - All Formats

Using a hybrid version of previous XBMC Chromecast solutions, all file types can now be watched on the Chromecast from Computer. This is without a doubt the best FREE computer XBMC solution available.
Instructional Video - http://youtu.be/H9N86ZIM47E
Nothing will work if you don't have chrome.exe and vlc.exe in these exact directories.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
You also need to know the local ip address of your computer and the port which for me is http://192.168.1.10:8080
Step 1. Go into Chrome Browser and add the Google Cast Extension at
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd?hl=en
Step 2. Download and install XBMC Windows version 12.3 Frodo at
http://xbmc.org/download/
Step 3. Download modified for chrome playercorefactory.xml at
http://www.mediafire.com/view/gdf9yqpg3b9uk9i/playercorefactory.xml
Place modified for chrome playercorefactory.xml in the system folder using the following path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\
Step 4. Download the VLC Player 64 Bit Version
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win64/
Setup Vlc Player - 64 Bit
1.)Tools...Preferences....Show Settings-All....Interface....Main Interface.....Click Web so it's Checkmarked.
2.)Click little arrow to the left of Interface, Click Lua and enter a password.
Step 5. Download the flv.exe file.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/tvc9dxja2xc1scr/flv.exe
Step 6. Demonstration
Start Chromecast
Start XBMC
Start your show - Click the Cast Button. If the video is in .mp4 or .mkv format, the Chrome Browser should automatically play the video and allow you to cast to your Television.
If the video is in .flv format, Chrome will try to download the file. Stop the download. You will now need the flv.exe file. This flv.exe file lets you transcode the video using VLC and then plays the Video over your local network through Vidcast.
So copy the video link from chrome address bar and close chrome browser. Start the flv.exe which will ask you for the video link which you can paste into the text box and also for your Local Ip Addressort
The flv.exe will open VLC and begin to transcode the video and also reopen the chrome browser with your network address ready to go. Wait for the transcoding line to start moving in VLC Player and then hit enter on the chrome browser to start the stream and lastly hit the chromecast streaming button. The Video should now begin to play on the Television.
Good Luck!

Fixed Links
Ok, I fixed the links.

Hi, Forgot to mention this also works with local files. Just replace the http link with a local link. So Instead of http://www.avifile.com put path to your local file C:\users\file.avi.
x32?
Works in W7 32bits?
Thanks!
I can't guarantee it, but I'm pretty sure it would work with 32 bit.
I have everything set up as it should and google chrome opens up, but it is always asking me to download movie files (avi, mkv etc..).
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you try the second part of instructions? It sounds like you only did the first part where you can't play those types of files?
hi does this work with xbmc 13 beta3?
Hi, I'm not sure. I haven't tried it with that version. Sorry

Same problem here and i can't figure where it went wrong.
Did you download the flv.exe for playing those type of files?
When I run flv.exe it doesn't appear to do anything... Anyone else seeing this?
Yeah the flv.exe tries tio open a command prompt window then disappears...I've tried so many times...won't work

If your Windows is not English, or Windows is not installed on C:, your Program Files path may be different.
Open Command Prompt and
Code:
echo %programfiles%
This is the 64-bit Program Files on 64-bit Windows.
This is the 32-bit Program Files path on 32-bit Windows.
In English 64-bit Windows this is usually C:\Program Files
In English 32-bit Windows this is usually C:\Program Files
Code:
echo %programfiles(x86)%
This is the 32-bit Program Files path on 64-bit Windows.
This environment variables doesn't exist in 32-bit Windows.
In English 64-bit Windows this is usually C:\Program Files (x86)
In English 32-bit Windows this variable doesn't exist.
Bhiga,
Thanks for that explanation. I did'nt know there was a different path for non-english.

Yup, and it's based in the core OS language, so it's not affected by the regional settings.*
It's also stored in the registry somewhere, though I don't know where offhand.
It's one of the common errors that plagues installers too.
That, and hard-coding the start menu shortcut path. That broke a lot of things when Vista came along and changed where the user profiles are stored. BTW, that's %userprofile% for the current user
And for good measure, AppData aka Application Data is %appdata% - and since this can map to either path\Local or path\Roaming, if you need to ensure you're in a specific one, jump up a level then drop into the hole you want with %appdata%\..\Local or %appdata%\..\Roaming
* Not-so-fun side note: Regional settings do affect native formatting commands for dates and numbers. This can adversely affect conversion and parsing of these items if source/parser is fixed and parser/source is using regional settings that don't match the fixed expectation. It can also be problematic if source/parser are both using regional settings but they don't match.
This affects delimiters as well, case in point, a comma-separated CSV from Excel will be interpreted fine with US Regional Settings but will open the file as a single cell with most European Regional Settings as they use comma for decimal, ie, one and a half in US would be 1.5, but in European regions it's 1,5.
flv is not working for me

How to share files between the remixos player and host pc?

Is there any way to share files between host pc and remixos player?
You could drag a file from your host pc to remix player, if it is an APK file , remix player will install it. If it is other file, it is be saved into internal sd card.

ADB is android debug bridge. ADB works for android devices, but how can the emulator find the host PC on the local area network?
I too tried to find a way for transfer from player to host while testing the soft, but I now personally gave up and don't care anymore. Just use something as google drive to have a common place where to place shared files (even if this means no local and need for internet) and why not synchronization (even if this means duplicates ...).
Google play not useful

Internet is slow where I live. 10 to 50 kb/s. So I can't use google play. I need a local hack.

Remix plaer
Hi all,
I installed RemixOSPlayerPackage-B2016111403 on Windows 7 x64 and have some .apk files on my Windows machine. How to copy them to the Remix OS Player machine for testing those files?
I tried drag and dropping, but it didn't work.
Is there any good way except for upload and downloading the files?
Thanks.
