Hi, Im currently running the 0815 build of CM10 on my p7510 and I am having issues with the media scanner. The scan will not run so none of the music or videos on my tab will index and appear in the music/video player. Anbody else experiencing this problem or is there a fix? thanks.
I have the same problem here.
Take a look in the root directory of /sdcard. If there is a .nomedia file, than it's the ROM Manager bug. Update ROM Manager and run SDrescan from the Play Store.

If there is a .nomedia file what we have to do, erase it?

Yes, erase and check. Also look for the same file in your media folder. Don't forget to set "show" hidden files in your file explorer's settings, as all files with a dot prefix are hidden in Linux and, as a result, in android

Thank you gokpog I did a full wipe and back to honeycomb then install ROM manager, flash clockwork mod and then everything fine, thank you very much.
Thanks for the help, got it sorted. deleted the .nomedia file, updated Rom Manager and did the SDrescan but it still didn'd work so I did a factory reset from the CWM Recovery and thats sorted it. Thanks again.

I have the apk reinstalled and the filed on my external Micro SD. The app doesn't seem to find it. I tried it with it on the internal SD and that didn't work either.
Anyone know?
Is the movie file in a folder titled "Movie"?

umm........
brb
yes it is.
When I open the app I have a choice between:
LOGO.mp4 (Which creates a nasty loop)
or
avatar_trailer.3gp
oohhhh..... It seems you are missing the Avatar movie completely if those are the only 2 files there. The movie is called avatar.dcf
Open your file explorer and navagate to your sd card and make sure avatar.dcf is in the Movie folder if it is not then you are in trouble.
On my phone there is no logo.mp4 maybe you need to download astro file manager in the market and rename LOGO.mp4 to avatar.dcf (who knows maybe it got renamed somehow.
yeah I have avatar.dcf in the movie file. I found another Movie file on the internal SD. I'm copying now. We'll see what happens.
You can also play the movie through the default samsung video player. Have you tried that?
so after a reboot the app sees the movie now....it just won't play it.
What the heck?

yeah....its says file type not supported
Have you tried a factory reset? I have heard that that has fixed the issue for other people.
since you said the file was in another "movie file" on the internal SD (I guess u mean folder), when you "copied" the file like you said, sometimes it gets renamed the extension from .dcf to .3gp, in that case, when you tried to open the movie it will say file type not supported... make sure the extension is .dcf
i think one of the mods caused a malfunction (a2sd/lag fix/ext hack..) or During "bloatware cleanup" a critical DRM process/file was removed.
i have the problem: "licence expired" no fix yet, too bad..

I have been trying to install Copilot navigation, but keep getting the out of space message. I have tried the directory bind solutions shown in the other threads, but still no joy.
So... I tried uninstalling gta3 and some other apps, and but am still getting the message. I don't get it... The manage apps settings page says I have 11gb free.... Why the hell can't I install anything?

Go to data/app and delete the odex file related to the file you are trying to install.. in your case, delete some file named something like copilot .odex or something and install copilot again..done
Thanks for the quick reply.
Do you mean /data, or mnt/data, or sdcard/data.... Can't seem to find any odex files!
If you have installed copilot before then its the old cache thats the problem. Simplest solution is to install 'App Cache Cleaner' free from play store
Edit: sorry scratch that it only clears still installed apps
booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache should do it (assuming you're rooted)

You can only see odex files in file explorers using root. i guess you are rooted?.. use root explorer.. open it ...then open data..then open apps and find some odex file related to copilot..delete it.. done

I had been using es explorer, which supposedly can access root, but I couldn't see the files.

This usually happens when you use apps like lucky patcher.. if you use it, you mite see odex files which are responsible for out of space errors..

The problem is with ROM manager issues with the latest CM9 the the media scanner not working well. The latest ROM manager adds .nomedia files in media folder which apparently led to your issue.
Browse through your media files and folders using a file manager, delete all .nomedia files you see in any of the folders and reboot.
All should be well after that
If the problem still persists do let me know.

I've search and found and deleted 16 .nomedia files with Root Explorer and the problem wasn't fix.

Have you rebooted your phone?
Were those .nomedia files you deleted all inside your media files?
Please answer

I also have this problem. I recently unrooted my phone and upgraded to ICS 4.0.4
I located several nomedia files; deleted them and then rebooted and it still not working. The only thing that works is putting my files on the external SD. But since it's only 2GB it not enough to hold my movies, music, and pictures.

Try using your computer to search for any extra .nomedia files you may have missed.
After that I used kies to transfer some music to my external. rebooted my phone only for everything to be in working order again. The only thing that's not on my phone are my old screen captures from before the upgrade.

ok
You will have to try to things, I'm sure one of them will work.
1. We need to forcing media scanner to rescan your media files.
- search for and download 'rescan media' in Google play.
-open the app and force rescan your media files.
-reboot your device and see if it works.
*** If first solution works, then skip the next solution
2. We will need to mount your SD card in recovery.
- Reboot to recovery.
- mount SD card (under mount)
-fix permissions (under Advanced)
-reboot your phone
-apply solution one
I'm waiting for your feedback

Done that.
The wierd thing is that if I move an audio file to the extrnel sdcard the music apps will find it even if I move it back to the internal storage!
the rescan app acting wired... there is no "start scan" button and once I try to renter the app it auto-close.
Both doesn't work

This is the final solution I can offer.
You will need your Pc.
Please don't miss any step.
1.
- connect your device to your Pc
- move/cut your media files and folders to a location on your Pc (double check these folders on your Pc to ensure .nomedia files are not present in the folder)
- reboot your device
- If you have ROM manager installed, please uninstall it with titanium and reboot your device.
- Create new folders for your media files using any file manager on your internal SD card. Don't copy anything to them yet.
- Take a picture with your phone, check if it's showing in your gallery.
- reboot your device
- Check again if the pic you took the other time is still showing in your gallery
- Download QUICKPIC from market as a reference gallery app.
- open quickpic and see if the pic you took the other time is also showing there.
If the pic you took is showing in the gallery app, then you can proceed to step 2.
2.
-connect your phone to your Pc
-copy back your media files (don't copy the folders) to the new folders you created on your internal SD card in step 1.
-reboot your device.
-open both gallery app and quickpic to confirm if all of them are showing now.
Good luck and goodnight

Did you mean your picture folders are missing when you browse through your files using a file manager or pc?

I searched on app store and found ese file explorer
Installed it and successfully run it
BUT the rename thing doesn't seems to work
I renamed a .exe file sample download.exe
A long hold press, then rename, the rename was good but
the file type is still a file not folder,
And I don't have any idea on how to change the file type
Does ese explorer app doesn't do the work?
Should I try your suggested app?
Or no Choice just to reset my phone?
Thanks for the quick reply
btw guys, i fixed my .exe problem, by doing a factory reset,
but for those guys who have the same problem and don;t want to do factory reset
replies and solutions for this problem is still welcome

WARNING: you need root for this!
A common problem with ICS and JB Stock as well as ROMs is that the music isn't appearing in the music player.
This is caused due to presence of a file ".nomedia" in your music player folders.
Up until now, you either had to use inbuilt music player ES File Explorer or search and delete all .nomedia files and hope that you get lucky.
But searching your entire phone AND sdcard can take hours, especially if you've got a big (16/32 GB) sd-card.
Also, thousands of .nomedia files could turn up if you've got lots of media files (hello manga addicts ). I have Mango installed and had nearly 3 GB of manga on my phone (), thus the search (using SolidExplorer) hadn't finished even after 3 hours.
Well, don't worry!
I've got the quickest solution to your problem:
Connect phone to computer via USB cable, or better yet use sd-card reader to directly connect the sd-card.
Use your computer to search and delete all ".nomedia" files. It's much faster .
Re-mount sd-card on your phone.
Now use Root Explorer or any other file explorer with root access.
navigate to <root directory>/data/
delete the ".nomedia" file present over there.
Enjoy your music!
Press the THANKS button, I need it.
The problem isn't quite so simple. I don't have have .nomedia files anywhere in my music folders, and yet it doesn't scan them.
I too dont have .nomedia file anywhere ! I think the problem is in libs ?
Try this.
If you have the patience, install mixzing player. reboot your phone. then open mixzing first. go into folders, then the folder where you store your music, then wait. The names of the songs should change from filenames to the id3 information. Repeat for each folder, scrolling so that the info appears for each track; all while not actually playing anything. Now open your stock player, the tracks should have appeared. If they haven't, force stop the media scanner and try again.
Hit thanks if it helps !

Are you guys sure you checked the /data and /data/data files? Get your SD mounted on a pc and search for .nomedia files; include hidden files in your search.
Should work. Did for me AND a couple of my friends, all facing same problems and having different ROMs.
Just in case, tell me the names of the ROMs you people are using.
Will try to help.
Running a fresh install of PAC by nims11 and I have all my media visible. So no worries.
Did notice some corrupted jpgs , deleted them
