I enter them, then hit "Return" on the keyboard and it goes in. But, when I come back to it, I don't see it in the list.

Any ideas?

Good question, mine doesn't save either, does x999x have any answers?

If you launch the app on its own, it will just close. Theres no built in file browser, so you need to use Mobile Finder to locate the files you want to play back. You'll have to tell Mobile Finder what program to use to open up the files, just add the stuff in your quoted post from ipodtouchfans. Its all there, except you might also want to add m4a to your list.

if I could please ask a naive question, what do you designate in MF to open up a download? For example a PDF etc..when I request 'open with' I dont see a program that'd do anything??!!
thank for your answer...and patience!

I'm so close to getting this all to work. I downloaded some mp3's off seeqpod using SafariDL. I set up the associations in MobileFinder for all file types listed in the original post. But when I double click the mp3s, it just goes up one directory.

Edit: Turn on "System File Access" in MobileFinder if you run into ^^^that problem. It will make the double-tap work.

Can you describe the process for setting up a symlink using WinSCP? I'm tired of jumping around between root and mobile directories.

Sorry for the late reply here, I didn't notice the quote until now.

Anyway, to make the symbolic link its pretty straight forward as follows:

ln -s Location TargetLocation

So if I would like to create a symlink that points to var/root/Downloads from my mobile directory I'd make the following command from WinSCPs little terminal window:

ln -s /var/root/Downloads /var/mobile/Downloads

Now heres the catch, lets say you already have a Downloads folder in var/mobile, what happens is the Symlink will be created inside that folder and basically not work, /var/mobile/Downloads/Downloads. Other than that, its pretty simple stuff.

You can delete the Symlink just like a normal folder through WinSCP or Mobile Finder without worry of also deleting the host directory. The host directory whill stay put as it should.

u know thos things you have to type to use the avplayer ex... mp3:com.system.avplayer well i accidentally deleted one of the other ones that was listed before i edited it and now i cant view the media anymore on avplayer so can anyone tell me the original file associations of a video you downloaded id rather do this manually than to do a whole restart on my ipod... THANKS!!!

EDIT* Fixed by using advise from the MobileFinder Issue report google thing...
{Deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.mobilefinder. It willreset MobileFinder to defaults.}
Did that for avplayer too and now I am not having the stupid repeat play issue!

Hmm, anyone else with 1.1.4 having an issue where AVPlayer only plays the same clip over and over even if I am opening other files in Finder? Every .mp4 I open plays only the last video played. And so I tried uninstalling MobileFinder and AVPlayer and re-installing and that didn't work. I deleted the MobileFinder folder in /var/mobile/Library/ and the MobileStudio folder there as well, are there any other files associated with MobileFinder or AVPlayer I can seek out and destroy to re-enable this great combination to work again? I am also confused why we cannot use the iClarified MobileFinder app that apparently has permission fixes in the install? I don't know but if I have their official version installed and try to install Avplayer it says MobileFinder isn't installed. I tried to do pretty much everything I can think of now... But yeah I guess I am the only one having this unending repeat video problem...
