Viewing Movies and File Names on M8

[zombdroid]

I have loaded about 20 full length movies on my M8. When I want to watch a movie I am go to the Gallery and all I get is a preview reel that I don't want or need and square boxes to click on with a random cover pictures that in no way identify the title of the film. I would like to be able to pick a file to watch by name without randomly just clicking the file to see the title or downloading additional explorer programs or gallery software.

I am sure there is a way to do this as it seems to be the most basic requirement for a usable gallery, but finding the solution escapes me.

If someone could point me in the right direction I would REALLY appreciate it.

That has been a flaw with HTC galleries for as long as I remember. A file explorer app from the market is a workaround.

Yeah try Astro or Total Commander.

I use an app called MX Player to view movies. I'm not sure if it will play Google Play downloads but it plays everything else. Give it a try. I liked it so much I went with the Pro version to give the developer some money.

Same here use it for all video watching now, even download the codec to play some mkv's

Yeah MX Player is the best out there. I also use ES Explorer to rename the files to what ever I want them to be called.

Then hide the folders from the Gallery app.
