In any case, as I say, because these files are not getting added to your Android media database skifta is not displaying them. I&#39;d have to inspect the device for myself, but my next port of call would be to move all the content off of the device and gradually re-add it to find out if there was some junk data in any particular file that is causing the issue. </p> http://forums.skifta.com/topic/interconnection#post-3212 Mon, 14 May 2012 21:59:20 +0000 tiranor 3212@http://forums.skifta.com/ <p>It was possible, but the friend function isn&#39;t available at the moment.</p> <p>If you use the same account, you can only shift to one place at a time. </p> http://forums.skifta.com/topic/not-seeing-any-videos-on-my-mobilehelp#post-3211 Mon, 14 May 2012 16:09:00 +0000 ruggs1234 3211@http://forums.skifta.com/ <p>Thanks again Conal.

To answer your questions..<br /> 1) Yes I have mostly MP4 files amongst my many files. Some are avi, some flv, even an MKV file or two but I dont really expect those to work. (the phone does support MKVs natively up to certain profiles). Skifta on my HTC Desire has always picked up all the files that the Desire natively supported...which wasnt many! But the LG natively supports a much wider range of files. My point, however, is that Skifta on my LG Optimus 2X doesnt see ANY video files whatsoever. Even files that have been on the phone for months. And IMediaShare seems to manage ok...but i&#39;d much rather use Skifta!</p> <p>and 2) The phone is fully rebooted once a day. Otherwise it can suffer from slowdown after a while!</p> <p>Any ideas? </p> http://forums.skifta.com/topic/not-seeing-any-videos-on-my-mobilehelp#post-3207 Sun, 13 May 2012 07:53:03 +0000 Conal 3207@http://forums.skifta.com/ <p>Right - Skifta uses the android media database, so this is because your media scanner has not picked up your movie files.<br /> 1) Do you have any mp4 files amongst those?<br /> 2) Have you run the media scanner (by rebooting the phone or using the free app &#39;sd rescan&#39;) </p> http://forums.skifta.com/topic/skifta-wish-list/page/2#post-3206 Sun, 13 May 2012 07:51:12 +0000 Conal 3206@http://forums.skifta.com/ <p>Understood - as a work around in the meantime, you can use XBMC which supports multiple directories and use Skifta to &#39;shift&#39; the media outside of your home network.
