How to copy files using File Sharing

Connect iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone to your computer using the included Dock Connector to USB cable.
Launch iTunes 9.1 or later on your computer.
Select your iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone from the Devices section of iTunes.
Click the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Note: If you do not see the File Sharing section shown in the image below, your iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone does not have any apps that support File Sharing.
Under the File Sharing section, you’ll find a list of apps currently installed on your iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone that support File Sharing. Select an app to view a list of the files associated with that app on your iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone.

2.1 The 1st method, in the GoodPlayer application video files list ,swipe left
and right for the file needed to be deleted,then a delete button will
come out,click the button ,the video file will be deleted. The point
is swiping your finger left and right over the listed file.

2.2 The 2nd way, use iTunes by iTunes file sharing,you can check all the
video files on GoodPlayer,select the file to be deleted,press the
"Delete" key on your pc,then confirm the file deletion.

Chrome browser is suggested for uploading, since Chrome has the uploading progress indicator in the lower left corner.

If uploading files by Wi-Fi makes the application exit, change into a different browser client(Chrome，Opera, Safari，Firefox，Internet Explorer) and upload again. Chrome browser is suggested for uploading, since Chrome has the uploading progress indicator in the lower left corner. And Chrome is the most stable browser in the uploading test.

After uploading media files by iTunes File Sharing or by Wi-Fi, if the new uploaded files are not in the list, just press the "Reload" button in the toolbar, the new uploaded files will be listed. If still not work, please restart the application. The last resort is to reboot the iOS device one time.

This application needs Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9 CPU for installation and running. For the special iPod Touch 3 8GB model, please double check the CPU requirements.

Inbox folder is a special system folder, So please do not upload file to Inbox folder, and do not create sub-directory in "Inbox" folder

Just same as delete file, ,swipe left/right on the folder to get the "Delete" button, or delete it from iTunes file sharing

Now for URL input, the GoodPlayer needs http://192.168.1.10/test.avi like specific streaming media URL, does not open web page in GoodPlayer.

#11 Does "Open in" feature support other applications other than Safari and Mail?

Yes. But it is up to other applications to support this feature also. This feature needs both sides support it.

#12 I bought GoodPlayer, but finds it is not the app what I need, what to do?

If the GoodPlayer could not meet your requirements, you could request the refund. Please contact Apple as soon as possible, since the refund is a limited time only option provided by Apple. Sorry for the inconvenience.

#13 How can I play files that are located on a Mac on my local network, without running a steaming server, and without having to copy the file locally first?

It can be done by the HTTP or FTP streaming.

The Mac comes with built-in HTTP and FTP file sharing, so you need no
other streaming server installation. Mac -->System Preferences
-->Sharing---> Web Sharing is for HTTP.

Mac -->System Preferences
-->Sharing---> File Sharing --->Options is for FTP.

After sharing the files from Mac by HTTP/FTP:
1. Input the URL in the GoodPlayer, it can playback. URL example:
http://192.168.1.10/test.avi
ftp://username:[email protected]/test.avi
2. Write a web page with goodplayer:// url scheme,such as
goodplayer://http://192.168.1.10/test.avi
goodplayer://ftp://username:[email protected]/test.avi

Then open the web page from iOS devices, click the goodplayer:// link ,the files will be played back. Please note the FTP comes with password/username.

Since the API limitation, this TV-out feature is for iPad & iPhone 4 & iPod Touch 4 only, please note iPod plugin playing in application does not support TV-out, only native application playing support TV-out, and also please note that iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3 do not support TV/VGA-out feature .

Since the iTunes files sharing does not support folder, so the only
way is uploading files to created folder by Wi-Fi.
1. Create folder.
2. Click Wi-Fi in app
3. Use browser from PC/MAC to upload files to the new folder
Note:Chrome is the suggested browser, it is the most stable in the
testing and it comes with uploading progress indicator.

If the live TV is not available on the Internet, you can build your own live stream. For example, use VLC software to steam out the TV to UDP or RTP streaming, then enjoy it on GoodPlayer by the following URL:

#18 There are some media files that could not be played back on GoodPlayer, or could not be played back smoothly on GoodPlayer, what is the issue?

Besides the AVI/MKV file container information, we need more detailed media file information (such as video format/audio format/bit rate)to tell what is the issue. Please use free desktop application MediaInfo ( http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/) to get the detailed media information and send it to us.Thanks.

Sometimes we need the file to pinpoint the issue, please send us the file by Email. If the file size is too big, please upload it to some file sharing site, then we can download it. Thanks for the support.

19.1 Click the lower left corner file manager icon,enter the new file manager
19.2 Click the lower left corner "new folder" icon, create some new folders
19.3 Click "Edit" button
19.4 Use the circle left to the files, select one or more file(s) to be moved
19.5 Click "Cut" icon on the lower bar
19.6 Go to the destination folder
19.7 Click "Paste" icon on the lower bar, the files will be moved to the new folder
19.8 Go back to the Documents folder , then click "GoodPlayer" button to go back to media file list mode and enjoy the files

GoodPlayer ---> Settings ---> Click top right corner button --->Email Feedback , the GoodPlayer version number is in the Email title

During HTTP/SMB streaming, the app will automatically check the app's root folder(the default folder for "iTunes File Sharing" and Wi-Fi sharing file uploading) and the app's Download folder(the default folder for GoodPlayer downloader) for subtitle files.
So please first upload/download the subtitle files to the above 2 folders. If the movie name is filename.avi , the subtitle file name is something like "filename.en.srt" or "filename.fr.srt". If there are more than one subtitle tracks, swipe fingers up/down on playing, to change the subtitle or turn off subtitle on the fly.You can change other subtitle setting in GoodPlayer--->Settings--->Subtitle Setting, you can set subtitle encoding, font size, etc...

1. Just upload the srt/idx/sub subtitle files with the same name but different file extensions to the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch (for local files playback, please upload the subtitle files to the same directory with media files; for network streaming, please upload subtitle file to root folder or Download folder)
2. If the movie name is filename.avi , the subtitle file name is something like "filename.en.srt" or "filename.fr.srt" (or "filename.en.smi","filename.fr.smi"), then play back the avi file , the subtitle will show up
3. idx/sub subtitle files is special ,the filename should be "filename.idx" and "filename.sub"
4 . After the subtitle is okay, you can change other subtitle setting in GoodPlayer --->Settings--->Subtitle Setting, you can set encoding, font size, etc...

Manually subtitle selection supported, click the playback control information button, then click "Select Subtitle". This feature is useful when the automatic subtitle match does not work. For example
some UPnP servers will change the filename strings in the URL, so the automatic subtitle match would not work.

GoodPlayer ---> Settings ---> Subtitle Setting-->Encoding, please
choose the correct encoding method for your subtitle here.
One safe method is to transcode the subtitle to UTF-8 encoding if you
can not find the right encoding for it.

For best GoodPlayer performance, please check these settings
(sometimes, a reboot of iDevice will help):
1 Multi Core Decoding to "On"
2 High Quality Mode to "Off"
3 Deinterlacing to "Off"

For performance, Quad Core GPU is already used. The bottleneck is on 2-core CPU for software decoding. So the performance of iPad 3(new iPad) is
nearly same with iPad 2. 1080P mkv is still impossible for iPad 3.

About HD (High Definition) playback support::
For iPad 2/3, part of 720P(1280x720) MKV/H.264/AVC playback supported, please note that not all the 720P MKV/H.264/AVC files can be played smoothly, it depends on the specific video encoding parameters.
For iPad 2/3, 1280x720 RealVideo (RM/RMVB) playback supported
For iPad 1, most of 720P(1280x720) AVI/MPEG-4 playback supported, , please note that not all the 720PAVI/MPEG-4 files can be played smoothly, it depends on the specific video encoding parameters.
For limited file formats such as MP4,M4V and MOV, by iPod plugin(GoodPlayer-->Settings-->Plugin Setting-->iPod, Turn on "iPod"), the 1080P (1920x1080) MP4,M4V and MOV playback supported via iOS devices system hardware acceleration

#27 For FTP Wi-Fi file sharing, how to make the file name correct?
For non-ASCII file/folder name, the FTP client should be
set to UTF-8 character for file name encoding. For example, the
FileZilla(a free FTP client http://filezilla-project.org),
"FileZilla"-->"File"-->"Site Manager"-->"New Site", input correct
setting here-->"Charset"--> Check "Force UTF-8" here-->"Connect"

#28 Why does iTunes Sync file backup blocker not work?
For the first time the iTunes Sync is turned off, the
most safe testing way is to exit the desktop iTunes , and restart the
desktop iTunes , then sync the iOS device with iTunes. It was found
sometimes the iTunes Sync setting does not work immediately, maybe it
has something to do with the cache.

#41 I have files that could not be played back on iPad 2/new iPad(iPad 3)/iPhone 4S, please help

If you have some files that are with issues for GoodPlayer playback on iPad 2/new iPad (iPad 3)/iPhone 4S, please try to set GoodPlayer->Settings->Multi Core Decoding to "off", and play the issued files again.
For iPad 2/new iPad (iPad 3)/iPhone 4S and future multi core iOS devices, there is an option to disable multi core decoding. GoodPlayer->Settings->Multi Core Decoding. The default is on. When it is on, some video decoding will use multi core concurrently to improve the performance greatly. When it is off, all the decoding only uses single core to get more stability. Please note that it is recommended to set it to on. Only for those media files that have issue with multi core decoding, set it to off.

There are some changes in iOS 5. In iOS 5, you need to "long press" the attachment to get the "Open in" menu.

Here an alternative way we found to open mail attachment. The attachment sometimes never gets an "Open in" menu in iPad 2 with iOS 5.

1. Send the file as attachment to Gmail mail box
2. Use the GoodPlayer built-in browser to access the Gmail (http://mail.google.com) , then download the attachment , play it at last.

For GoodPlayer 4.0 and iOS 5.0.1+, now the files will remain on device, even in low storage situations. Upgrade to iOS 5.0.1+ is recommended.

For iTunes/iCloud Sync, we have already given an option to the end users in
the GoodPlayer settings. GoodPlayer->Settings->File Manager->iTunes
Sync, the default is "off" from 3.2 version, when this setting is
"on", the media files uploaded to GoodPlayer will sync with iTunes.
When this setting is "off", the media files in the GoodPlayer will not
sync with iTunes. For the iOS 5, when the setting is "on", the
media files in GoodPlayer will sync with iCloud, when the setting is
"off", the media files in GoodPlayer will not sync with iCloud.
From GoodPlayer 2.3, the option was added to disable iTunes Sync file
backup, this can save a lot of time and disk space when the iOS device
sync with the iTunes.
Please Note: for the first time the iTunes Sync is turned off, the
most safe testing way is to exit the desktop iTunes , and restart the
desktop iTunes , then sync the iOS device with iTunes. It was found
sometimes the iTunes Sync setting does not work immediately, maybe it
has something to do with the cache.

#44 How to check the subtitle encoding? And how to change the subtitle encoding to UTF-8?

the following update log first!!!

#50 How to set the NFS server so the GoodPlayer NFS client can access it?
Please note that NFS server side must allow regular (non-root) users to connect to your NFS shared folders!!!
So far, we only tested NFS client with OS X NFS server.
NFS server setting for OS X: edit the "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist" file. Open it and add the option "-N" to the startup parameters as follows:
<array>
<string>/sbin/nfsd</string>
<string>-N</string>
</array>

#51 In the GoodPlayer SMB/CIFS client, the downloading is okay, however the SMB streaming does not work?
It looks that this issue is caused by the SMB workgroup information most likely.

Please check SMB workgroup information carefully.
1 it is case sensitive
2 you can try "MSHOME" or blank workgroup if you do not know the exact workgroup name

2. Add the option to disable iTunes Sync file backup, this can save a lot of time and disk space when the iOS device sync with the iTunes.
Please Note: for the first time the iTunes Sync is turned off, the most safe testing way is to exit the desktop iTunes , and restart the desktop iTunes , then sync the iOS device with iTunes. It was found sometimes the iTunes Sync setting does not work immediately, maybe it has something to do with the cache.
3. Audio channels choice added. Left channel only, right channel only , or stereo can be chosen.
