Sandisk brand new. Just opened it yesterday and popped it into my phone. Downloaded some videos to it straight away and I can go into the sd card and play them just fine, they just won't show in the gallery.

What if you copy the video file into the /DCIM/Camera directory on the SD card?

Yeah they were in another fold on the SD card. I just selected that folder and moved it to DCIM/Camera and now they show in the Samsung Gallery.

Don't want to make another thread for this so since it's kind of related I'll ask here. I have MX Player and Samsung Video Player. I like both, but kind of prefer the Samsung player. I can't seem to find the icon for the Samsung player though. Videos just open to the player be default but I can't find it in my app drawer.

Sure no problem , is it in Samsung folder in the app drawer

No. When I go to the Galaxy store and search for it it pulls up as installed and I can open it from there and it's also under settings/apps, but no icon in app drawer.

Just found that in the store. That works but is the video library app which is separate from the player. But when I click a video in that app it brings up the samsung player so that seems to be well enough. Thanks!

Yeah that one in play store

I downloaded it from the galaxy store but yeah it's in the play store too. Do you have a preference for video players? I like that the Samsung player has a button to take screenshots seamlessly and also has a minimize button like Netflix/YouTube.

I only use the Samsung one , maybe others can chime in on other ones.

Ok, so back to my previous question -- can you see photos saved on the SD card in your Gallery app? Is the problem limited to videos?

I have photos and videos on my sd card and gallery sees all .
