[solved] help needed to play video files.

psmith0103 · #1 (**permalink**) 18th Dec 2006, 12:25 pm

I have converted the video files using the amv converter that came with the player. Once i have pasted them or dropped and dragged them into the drive and turn the player on, it says there are no files to view. I am able to put photos and mp3s on but have spent hours trying to do this with no luck at all. I have looked at the settings on the player and it says version 00.00.0001. Please help if you can, this is for my niece for xmas

psmith0103, Looking at your firmware version number I would guess your player is using a Sigmatel chipset but that is an odd version number.
If it is a Sigmatel player then you need to use an SMV video format converter. You can download one here:

tintin19, It is a nice looking player, but there are heaps of bizarre feature. Looks like a Chinese to English online translation.
Did it come with a sample video?
If so what format is the sample?
Have a look in the players settings menu and see if you can find the firmware version.

tintin19, Did you find the firmware version?
We can work out what it is there are only so many formats.

tintin19, Well it is not an AMV player, it could be a Sigmatel in which case it will play SMV files, you can try this converter.

Or it could be a Rockchip player (but they usually have an SD Card slot), and run .avi files you could this converter:

I downloaded the smv converter, and the player now seems to recognise the files as they appear in the movies fiel, but when i try to play them it says file format error. Am at my wits end with this.
