OK, so the last response I received was to try 16.0.60. In my initial problem report, I'd indicated that I was in fact already using 16.0.60 (which I was). I haven't responded the last couple days because there has been no change. Today I upgraded to 16.0.63... and my videos still won't play on Gizmo.
My setup:
1. Gizmo (latest from the market store, as of today 04/05)
2. MC 16.0.63
3. Motorola Droid 1, android 2.2
4. Core2Quad, 4GB ram PC
5. Files encoded as MP4 with aac audio in Handbrake
What I've done:
1. Uninstalled MC 16.0.x many times with registry clean etc. Re-installed as many times.
2. Removed the mm264 directory after each video play attempt, restart computer
What I've noticed:
So, today I noticed a folder called "J River Conersion Cache", after I tried playing a video today, I watched the folder. When my gizmo failed to play the video and dropped me back to the video list, I saw my converted video in the J River Conversion Cache folder. It was an MP4 file in the conversion folder. I opened it in VLC to see if it would play and it did (the audio was out of sync, though). It played to the very end, so the video was not truncated.
In MC > Options > Media Network > Client Options > Video Conversion, there are many choices to pick. Initially I tried all of them, without any working. This last time, however, I had Video Conversion set to WMV, but in that cache folder, the file created was still an MP4.
So:
1. Changed setting from WMV to MPEG2/DVD-Stream, rebooted computer. Deleted the mm264 folder again, rebooted the computer. Launched MC 16 and verified setting was still convert to MPEG2/DVD-Stream... it was. Tried to play on Gizmo, it did not. Looked in the cache folder above... MP4.
Basically, I cannot play movies still, and I'm not sure whether changing the video conversion options in Media Network is supposed to make a Gizmo difference, but it does not appear to make a "Cache" difference.
