Hey everyone,
i installed MIUI v1.7.22 on my phone.
Everything is working fine, but however the music player isn't finding all of my songs.
I have about 2600 music files by 225 artists but the music player is just showing 1200 files and 4 artists
Tried to set the filter option to 0 kb: didn't change anything, my external sd- card is recognized.
Any suggestions?
You could try putting them all in one folder...
/sdcard/media
well, all my music is stored on the external sd card
tried it but changed nothing, again...
instead, its now only showing the files on the internal sd card...
i have the same problem...only read some folders, not all...
this fixed it for me
I posted this reply in another thread too, but since this is newer, it hopefully won't hurt to repeat it.
I've tried MIUI several times (different builds), and I've always had this problem. Just on a hunch, I tried something today that fixed it for me. Might work for you too.
1. Installed ROM Manager. Chose reboot into recovery mode.
2. In recovery mode I first fixed permissions. Then I wiped Dalvik cache (I suspect this didn't really do anything, but I did it, so I include it). Then I went into the mount menu and mounted sd card (it said unmounted before).
3. Reboot
4. Watched the music player starting to count up all the missing music.
Is this working for anyone else? It sure isn't working for me. I've been using poweramp as a substitute, but I love the miui player.
Okay so today i was using Play music , which has been running fine and then today i got a error saying ,"couldn't play the track you requested". So what i did was removed the sd card out (my songs are stored in the sd card) , put it back in , waited a bit , nothing happened , i rebooted with and without the sd card in. And nothing worked , the same problem occurred. So what i did was download a another music app, i went and download the n7 music app. It played the songs but one problem came , which was all the songs had a copy and the copies of the would not play. So what i did was just mount the sd card into my computer and then delete all of the songs and then put them back in, but it still showed the copies off the song , even when i took out the sd card , it still happened.
Then i just boot into recovery and then wiped data/ factory rest, wipe cache and dalvik cache, formatted system, cache and datadata and reflashed my rom. But now the problem is none of the songs even show up on any of the music apps have. I can play the song from the file explorer browser but thats it , it won;t show up on the music player. I even cleared data on the media storage and rebooted and nothing!
Sorry for the long as post but i just wanted to be in full detail on what i did. So can someone please help me, i have no idea what i did wrong. So i hope someone can help me.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Copied a couple of GB of photos to my External SDCard.Rebooted phone, nothing showed up,but all videos and music that were on the card were still showing in Video Player,Gallery and Music Player.So I unmounted the card via settings ,remounted .now nothing shows up at all.
If I browse through Root Explorer I can see all my media,and when I look in Settings/Storage the card shows up.
I thought perhaps it was the card(only bought last week) could be the problem, so I stuck my old MicroSD card in which has some media on it, same thing.Any ideas?
Should have said.When I take a photo it is stored on the micro SD card.That works OK
Is it just teh gallery that causes an issue?
If so try what this guy suggests here to do a rescan of the media:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27787690&postcount=3
No, nothing shows up.No videos, no music and no photos
I decided to reset the phone (from Settings) .Set it up again and all seems well again
Today I added some more albums to my external SDCard.Again, after doing so,none of the new mp3s showed up.Removed SDCard, and like before, NOTHING on the SDCard shows up.So I thought I would do what I did last time and wipe the phone.This time though it didn't do the trick,and nothing is showing up.Even reinstalled the original stock ROM,still nothing.
Have tried with a couple of different cards with the same outcome, nothing on SDCard appearing on phone(I can see the card in My Files and browse all the individual files OK).
Assuming there is something wrong with the phone , I guess all I can do is return to store, however I did unlock the phone using Voodoo Unlocker.Can this be reversed?
Can anybody help??
Either with the SDCard problem or know whether the Voodoo Unlock is reversible??
TIA
This problem has resurfaced.Installed Omega 8.1 Rom .Opened Music Player., nothing there.Same for Gallery and Video Player.
The thing is I downloaded PowerAmp,added the folder that has my music in and it works fine. Open QuickPic and all my pictures are shown, as are my videos which I can play in Video Player.
I can transfer a song to my internal memory, it shows up. Transfer it back to extSDCard, it disappears.
After flashing a stock ROM the problem is still happening.
The strange thing is ,the phone recognises there is an external card.When I open the camera app, I get the pop up asking me if I want to store my photos on the sdcard.I do, and it works fineand any picture I take on the phone shows in Gallery).It just seems to be a problem with any media.Its doing my head in.
Please save me from having to go buy an iPhone4s, because as boring as it may be, it does,as they say "just work"
This sounds software-related to me. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and testing without installing any applications to the device? It's possible that one of the apps you have installed is causing some sort of problem.
It is still possible that the external SD card has a fault though. Have you tried a different one? Additionally, why are you using the external card rather than the internal memory?
All roms for me never find video or mp3 on external sd card .
Notable that Kies places Video in DCIM/Camera folder if you ask it to transfer filers to ext sd card and likewise music on ext card is media folder .
jje
yes, tried 3 sdcards.
Have 10GB of music. 2GB of photos. So I need to use the external SDCard ,as I would already be out of room.
This has worked fine.The last week or so there has been no problem.I have been flashing ROMS, adding media to SDCard with no issue.
How about apps? Have you tried doing this with no other applications installed?
I havent, but I am going to do a full wipe flash again without installing any apps.

If you do that and it works ok, just install one app at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and email the developer!

Well that cant be right can it. There surely would be little point in having an external SDCard in that case.You cant put apps on it, you cant put music or video on it? (well not if you want to use stock apps)
Well, that didnt work.Fresh install of ROM, no apps installed. No music/Photos.
So thats stock ROM, Omega 7.1 (last known working with that ROM) and Omega 8.1 flashed probably half a dozen times over the last 24+ hours.
The only music and vid that appear are the Samsung installed demo ones.

Weird. I have music and media stored on my external SD card, and everything reads and functions fine (on Wanamlite using Ninphetamin3).
Have you tried changing kernels?

No I havent.If it is something I should try I will have to have a read up. I have only rooted and flashed ROMs, never changed Kernels.
Edit:
I have used drag & drop when phone is connected to PC, I have used a card reader.Card has been formatted in the phone, in the card reader.
I have used Easy Phone Sync ,just tried Kies and that syncs fine to the external card.
It surely must be a software problem.

Definitely try flashing a new kernel - have a look through the dev sections.
It's worth reformatting the sdcard in the phone as well, using the phone software to do it - that should eliminate any weird permissions-related problems.
Hi,
Basically I have just got an S3 and it came with a 32gb sd card. I am trying to put all my photos, music and videos on the sd card to keep space on the phone free for apps but whenever I do, usually most of the files can't be read and it will display a message like "Sorry this file cannot be played". But then if I put the same file on the phone it will work just fine. I have tried formatting to FAT32 as suggested in other threads and that didn't work. And I have also tried transferring the files through Kies, easy ums, easyphonesync and mtp to my sd card and they wouldn't work either when trying to play/view them. Could someone please give me a basic guide on how to get my media to work from my sd card. Thanks.
Info about my phone
rooted using CFRoot

Ext SD card .
Folder VIDEO and Folder Media work for me .

reflash your rom make sure u folow the correct instruction wipe data partion , wipe partion cache and dalvik cache.. maybe will fix your problem
Can you give details of just which files cannot be played? FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit so if you try to play something larger it will fail. Music from iTunes needs to be converted to play, and other file types may need a player for them. My system seems to play anything ask of it so I guess most of the file types are supported but maybe your ROM lacks some of the support needed?
I'm on JB - not sure if ICS has the same support...
thanks for all the suggestions, it turned out to be the sd card, sorry for bothering everyone
Hi guys,
I've been frustrated with this issue for a while. By using any kind of file manager, I can see my sd card (under /storage/sdcard1). Can copy file to and from. The same goes when I connect the phone to my PC. But when I try to read music from the sd card, it seems that non of the music apps can see the SD. The same goes with the gallery, can't see any pics from the SD. Tried to clear data from media service but still no luck.
I am using RR Rom, before when I used GB, didn't have any problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!!
