iPad Using iFile to add downloaded file to Library in Videos?

[duaneg]

I downloaded a video from my Dropbox, but it added it to my Photos folder for some dumb reason...

I used iFile to move it from Photos to Music and placed it in a folder with a few other mp4 movie files.. It obviously won't populate in the video folder, though..

I can replace the name with an existing movie name and it'll play as that movie.. Won't update the snapshot ..

Where is the file / how can I make the video show up on the videos list?

I'm on Linux so can't use iTunes to sync the video.. :\

Thanks!

I think Bridge works for videos too. Definitely works for music. It's worth checking out. I there's a couple free alternatives too but the names escape me. I'll do some googling.

The other popular tools from ios 6 were Gremlin and Music2iPod. But I'm not sure if they were ever updated for 7.x. Bridge is probably the best solution though. It works great. Hope this helps.
