Hi all,
I'm the new with this 4rum. yesterday, i upgrade my phone with [ROM] LGP500 AmberHome V1.1.
This rom 's perfect & work like a charm (thanks to corwin42). but for a while, i found that my music player & also video player does not work. Although i have many music & video files in my sdcard. But whenever i open music or video player, they do not find anything.
I searched our 4fum, but found no clue. please help me solve this issue.
Do i have to reinstall music & video player? Where i can find the apk file??? And how can i install, via adb? i guess ? I used root explorer to copy music & video apk file from GT540, and try to paste in P500 system/app via root explorer. But i got "install error"
Maybe stagefright is enabled. Try disabling it via the tweak script. You can download the script from the thread in the development forum.
I 've just tried the script, but nothing solve. The same thing happen with music & video player.
please help me ...
try another music player
Okay, try this (for a little troubleshooting): Open your file manager and go to the directory where you have your files. Try playing one of them. If it plays, I think your player can't find your music for some reason. If it doesn't, I bet it's stagefright.
By the way, after you disabled sf from the script, did you restart your phone?
after try the script , i restarted...
the music player can play the file, but in the screen it show no thing... i mean no album art, no artist, no song's name ... although my files have full information and show normally before i do upgrade. it's so strange...
Thanks for your quick reply
edit: btw, i do not see the music.odex in system/app folder? is it normal ?
Strange. I have this problem for only some of my files. Do videos play? Do the same thing just like the music.
the same thing happen. When i use file manager to open, it open & play as normal. But when i open video player, it say "no video"
update: i installed another music & video player. The same thing happen. They say no file in sdcard.
I'm not sure and this is just a guess, but I think something may have went wrong with the partitioning process. Do you have a backup of your files on the memory card?
yes i have, so i will try to re - partion ?
Yes, try to repartition. Then restore your backup to your memory card. Make sure you copy your files to the FAT partition, and not the ext one
update:
Things were solved. I do not know exactly to explain. When I mount the sdcard, I noticed that there's a file which was named ".nomedia". I did not know where it come from. Just delete & things were solved. I do not have to re - partion, now my music & video player work like a charm !
Any ideas abt the file".nomedia" ????
anyone knows how can I restore de stock alarm widget??
using GB 2.3.4 and Samsung Captivate
I have a .pls file which i use tunewiki to open for my internet radio, when i save the file on my SD to play it, it works, but every-time i reboot the file is removed by android ! the file is in my dropbox so i download again, use myfile to play it, works fine, as soon i reboot the file is removed !!!
are .pls files removed by android media scanner?
Thanks,
as suspected it was the media scanner removing these files (not sure why) i just removed that directory from its scanning path and problem fixed just incase someone else is having the same problem.
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

hello,
i have some playlists on my computer that contain URL's of web radio stations, and i would love to use them on my android phone.
however, after copying them to the sdcard, they disappear immediately after unmounting it.
i noticed that some playlists are unaffected by this - if they point to existing music files.
is there a way to solve this?
ps: i'm using cyanogenmod 7.2 - but i have seen other posts on xda-dev addressing similar problems, but no solution.
i hope it's not wrong to post to this subforum...
pps: just so you nderstand, it's been a lot of work to get those lists compiled, because not all web radio stations reveal their playlist files.
i've been using these lists on my computer for quite a while and they work with most media players.
they're mostly .pls but also some .m3u.
i have searched the web and came up with an answer!
android.stackexchange.com/questions/19583/disappearing-deleted-pls-files
The problem sounds like it is with the Media Scanner. When it scans the directory that the .pls file is in, it sees the playlist file (the .pls) but if the directory does not have any other media files in there (like .mp3 for example) then it automatically assumes that the playlist is empty so it deletes it. You can create a file in the directory called .nomedia and the Media Scanner will not even scan the directory, leaving your .pls files alone.

Creating an empty file .nomedia inside the playlist base directory solved the issue.
now i can't find a media player that opens these playlists.
i'm getting "file format not supported" or even more general errors.
i'm stumped - tried about everything from the stock mediaplayer to winamp and various others from f-droid...
i don't understand, here on my linux computer i can open these playlists in just about any application.
they are normal, utf-8 encoded files, i added 2 examples (had to rename them from .pls to .txt).
any ideas please?
help!!!!!!!
I have installed Hungama app from Google playstore now after that is downloaded some videos from this app and the video are there inside the application only,
then i installed ES file explorer where i can access the android/data/com.hungama.myplay.activity/files/video/.
inisde this folder all the videos can be found but the problem is that every video is having a filename with extension .cache
at first time when i entered to the folder and copied one from them and pasted there in same folder than moved the copy to another folder and renamed the filename by changing only its extension from .cache to .mp4 while having the app running in background, after renaming the file with .mp4 extension i tried to open it with MX video Player, it was played well without any buffering like an file in sdcard. i thought its easy, therefore selected all the files from that folder and copied them to another location in the sd card and tried to rename all files at once by changing their file extension from .cache to mp4 ,
But this time MX player and every mp4 player failed and now also no video is playing outside that particular app.
What could be the solution?? please post your suggestions soon,, and help!!!!
if possible can anyone here check this video file for the error why it cant be played after playing once in android MX player...

Tested on app version 5.2.18
When the app opens a .cache file, it "decrypts" it. When a file is decrypted, its name will have "decrypt" at the end
EX: encripted "audio_134298.cache"
decrypted "audio_134298decrypt.cache"
So, my solution was to download an FTP server on my phone, then connect to it through windows CMD and download the decrypted songs with a wildcard
(Make sure to CD into wherever you wanna download the songs first BEFORE doing the commands)
Code:
ftp -i
open
PHONE_IP PORT
cd Android/data/com.hungama.myplay.activity/files/track/
mget *decrypt.cache
mdelete *decrypt.cache
When I did the process described above, there were only 21 decrypted songs (Even though my library has +500 songs) (I don't know if the same 21-rule applies to videos), so you'll have to press PLAY (from the hungama app) 21 times, and then repeat the download process (mget and then mdelete to free up space)
After that's done, I fired up "Bulk Rename Utility" and changed all extensions to .mp3 (since I was converting music), and also removed the "decrypt" characters from the filenames.
But BEWARE, decrypted files are not the final form of the mp3; If you listen to them you will only hear giverish.
But at least we now have meta-data.
I would post a link to one of these files, but:
a) I don't have enough reputation to post links
b) Copyright
At this point it might just be better to write down a list of all your songs and re-download them from hungama<dot>com
Hope this helps
First of all navigate to the browser where it saves the file and Remove .nomedia File from that folder not browse the folder in MX or VLC and Enjoy the videos

It's not uncommon that an app creates files that other apps don't need to access, or shouldn't access.
