Gallery and video app not detecting old files - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've flashed stock jb roms. And the picture gallery and the video player app won't detect any video o photo before I flashed the Rom. I have to use quickpic to see my old pictures.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Oh music isn't showing up either in the native music app

Go to application manager and clear data from Media Storage app..reboot..check if the pics are being shown..

Nope. I tried clearing the data in the medieval storage app and nothing pictures and videos won't show up in the gallery and video player native app

check if you have any .nomedia file in your pictures folder..enable the file explorer to see .(dot) file..if yes delete it and reboot..
This is the only option I can think of right now..

No there isn't any .nomedia files. It's really weird. And I've done factory resets. Permission fix and all wipes. And stuff..

I had this exact same problem only it was with my rooted Thunderbolt. Even now on my non-rooted Galaxy S3, I cannot view any of my old images from my external sd card (that used to be in the Tbolt) thru Gallery but still must use Quickpic. Wish I had a fix for it, its driving me crazy.

S3 Video player issue

In the default video player when ever i play the video ( in vertical holding)in generally the video should align to the middle but mostly of the time(8 out of 10 times) it is aligning to the top .
I started observing this after the recent official update ,is there any solution for this ?, Does any one of you have the same issue ?
Try clearing the application data of the video player or download a better video player: MX Player.

MX Player is the best use it
Using an alternative video player isn't solving the issue though is it? MX Player solves the problem but doesn't look as polished as the stock player.
I've had the same problem as the OP since flashing different ROMs, it certainly wasn't a problem before. There is also the same problem with YouTube in portrait mode.
Have tried clearing data and factory reset but to no avail.
It is frustrating to say the least...

I also had the same problem. And I belIeve the camera app also had the same problem...I did fix the problem....flash the fastest Rom again and problem solved.
Have tried the latest stock ROM this morning and issue still present. It is however only present on AVI files, not mp4.

i love style of stock player but mxplayer is more powerfull
So this issue is in YouTube app, Camera app, Video Player app ... i guess it's related to root access ...

Any solution apart from installing a different ROM? Youtube gives me this problem. Quite annoying.

Problem with music on omega Rom.

Hi all,
Wondering if I could get some help please. I am having problems with my music on omega's Rom. I use the stock music app to play music across to my cars headunit but sometimes the app is unable to find all my music.
I have tried places the mp3s into the /media/music folder and also into the /music folder. It will find music that is in the downloads folder and will find system sounds but not the large collection I have placed on the internal memory.
Now this is not always the case as I have had the music app find all the music in the past but I have no idea what I am changing to lose them this time. Any ideas?
Also is there a way of stopping the stock app from finding all the system sounds or only reading from one directory so as to find only my music collection?
Cheers in advance.

Cannot play videos using stock viedo player

i just rooted my phone, and while exploring the folders i found 2 files that says "video" so i deleted one of them. After that i wasn't able to play any video on the stock video player. I've tried formatting my phone and downloading the stock video player but it still doesn't work..
Could anybody please help me figure out what's wrong with it
Were these files in the sd card or the system files?

Preloaded videos

This might be a stupid question but when I bought the phone yesterday I remembered seeing some pre loaded videos that looked pretty cool at showing off this wonderful screen but now I can't freakin find em.
Anyone know the location of the video I'm talking about?

Mine also got deleted. This phone comes packed so much extra crap you lose a lot of usable internal storage so I just wipe the whole thing. I was pleasantly surprised that I had 22 gigs of storage

Agreed, and would love to have one of the original videos that came with the phone. It showed off a bunch of landscapes but looked fantastic to really show off the display. When I first factory reset my phone (before rooting or anything) it wiped the files. I went to show the girlfriend and it's no longer there.
Presumably playing one of the Discovery Planet Earth videos in 1080p on Google Play would be able to show it off just as well. But I used it to play around with the built in video player that you could re-size etc.
I tried to share it elsewhere and it wouldn't let me, saying that it was a protected file. Even tried looking for it with a File Explorer and came up empty.
I must admit, those videos make the screen look GORGEOUS! Full HD 5.2 inch screen on minimum bezel...

they are protected files yes, locked to the individual devices. so once gone, they are gone forever.
speaking of those videos, did anybody find any demo videos that look as stunning as those on our screens?
I've deleted them when I got my phone, because I wanted more free space, but the other day I soft bricked my G2, so I had to restore everything and I got them videos back. I can upload them if you guys want.
again, they are protected and locked to individual devices, you can't play them anywhere else but your own phone.

Ohh, I see now. You can't even take screenshots during the video. Silly DRM. Then I uploaded 2 other ones, they are regular .mp4 videos, so you can play them on your phone or anything.
Video 1 - It's actually an extended version of the stock Europe video, there's no music though.
Video 2 - This one also looks really gorgeous.
In you tube search lg 4k demo, you found several demo videos from lg, download with tube mate in original video o 4k resolution and you get a lot of videos in excellent quality.

Mine were in the gallery, and I was able to simple delete them.

I think you're right.
it doesnt hurt to try so for those who want to try, here are the videos coming from my G2.
download them and rename the extension with .dm instead of .mp4 and see if they play.

CyanogenMod broke my music and gallery [Halp Pls]

Okay... So I rommed up with Spyder CM11 and come to find that all my pictures have all been washed in black. (Heh... Pearl Jam reference) and speaking of pearl jam, I cant listen to that or anything stored on my SD card and it is making my I hate the world sore itchy.
What do?
A few notes:
I had run the encryptamajig to encrypt my phone a while before rooting and romming. Could that be a problem?
I tried using other galleries and media players but can't view or play any pictures videos or music.

It also affects my internal pictures and strangely not my music on my internal drive. That all works just fine. I have a rush album that plays right as rain. But still the pictures.
