Hollywood Player on Android doesn't find applets

Post by jPV »

Apparently many of you have been using the Hollywood Player app on Android, but I can't get it to find applets I try to copy there. I haven't been using Hollywood (programs) on Android before, so maybe I'm just making some silly mistake.

I installed Hollywood Player from Google Play and gave it permissions it asked. Then I created a Hollywood directory at the root of my micro-SD card, and copied couple .hwa files there (I compiled AlphaChannel example and my own program as applets on MorphOS setup, no compression). But when I launch Hollywood Player, it just tells "no applets found"... it also fails to open the .hwa files if I browse the filesystem and tap them.

Is there something I don't see? Can there be some security setting that affects? Does SD card name affect?

I tried this on three devices already and it's the same on all... they were running on Android 5, 7, and 10.

Ah thanks, found the dir from the internal storage instead of external SD card, and applets copied there are shown in the Player now.

It's misleading when Google Play's description tells:
copying your *.hwa applets to a directory named "Hollywood" on your SD card
So I was trying that :)
