today, mplayer came out on cidia. it said to put files in private/var/media, however, this does not exist. I tried to put it in private/var/mobile/media, but it didn't detect my files. tried creating the file in var, but no go. what is wrong?
Got a tip for us?

You first have to CREATE the media folder 😉
Then put the video files in there. It does work, then.

I DID make a folder, but no worries. I found the problem. Aparently, apple software is case sensitive.🙄
use mobilefinder. You can find it on cidia. It's quicker and easier than using ssh.

that maybe but if they ssh in make the folder they can then just simply copy files over without having to use finder then SSH into the device anyway to upload the files.
Trouble is, on my 16G Touch, /private/var/media is in the system partition, and only has 79M free space.
Now, if we could put the media files in the user partition, where there's plenty of space...
