Not new to the scene, but new to non aosp and touchwiz based phones (coming from the gnex)..
Anyway, I have videos that aren't in DCIM/pictures and they display in gallery. I expect videos I record to obviously be placed in there but these are music videos in my music folder. I tried making a .nomedia file in the music folder, but then obviously Google play wouldn't pick up the songs.
TLR,
Anyway to prevent videos (non phone recorded) from displaying in the gallery?

I have recently updated the album art in some of my music files using iTunes on my PC. They display correctly when I play the songs on my PC, but when I delete the old files from the SD card on my Atrix and transfer the update files, and play the songs with the Android music player, Google Music player, Winamp, or Meridian Player, all of them continue to show the old embedded album art. I know the file has the new image because I have viewed the file on my phone using File Expert which displays a thumbnail of the image next to the file name, but I can't seem to find a way to get the new image to show in any of the music players instead of the old one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
After more searching, looks like I found the answer to my own question. Someone posted on another forum that you have to go into "Android/Data/com.android.providers.media/ albumthumbs" folder and delete all of the cache files. Android will then rebuild the cache from the current music files. I've tried this and it seems to have worked as all of the music players now display the new album art. I should work a little harder before asking for help. Sorry!
Man Thank you so much, i was searching for this everywhere!
Have been a new Galaxy S2/Android owner for 4 days now and am slowly getting to grips with everything. One question I have is how Gallery works. I have images in picasa so I take it they are streamed from picassa should I want to view them? I also dragged a file with some images and videos onto the phone via Kies and although the videos play straight from the video app it seems they stream from the web when viewed in gallery? I'm probably making this more difficult than I need to but any explanations as to how it all works/integrates would be appreciated.

Hi,
I have total recall working on phone and it stores call conversations on phone, the problem is the music player also adds them in available songs
is there any way to restrict music player to look under specific folders only for songs?
or, if there is anyway I Total Recall can store files that cannot be seen by Music app (media scanner)?
To select a certain music folder yourll need a non-stock music player from the market like PowerAmp or something like that.Stock players dont give you much choice.My ROM has a call recorder but it goes where it goes so not much to say there sorry.
Ubermusic supports folder playing;-)

I would like to stay with any one of nice Jellybean ROMS on my Note, but this one problem with MX Video player, which I use as my default video player, keeps me from doing so. For whatever reasons, I cannot see my videos stored on my SD card, although I have no such problem on ICS-based ROMs on the same phone. Jittery video playing and this are two problems that keep me on the ICS ROM instead. Does anybody know the solution to these issues? Yes, I have tried disabling HW acceleration option and clearing data on the application as well as the Media storage app.
Also, I can see the files from Root Explorer and play them via MX player as well. I just can't see them on the player directly.
Please help me migrate to JB ROMs! Thanks.:laugh:
Found out that you can find the folders containing the video files by going to "settings/list/video folders!
Now only if I can figure out why some videos stutter...

I like using Google play music but the application has been changing my album art around and i cant figure out how to change it back.
I saved a picture to my external SD card and Google music decided to tag all the Unknown Artists with the picture, but it only seems to show up in Google Music.
I have multiple media players installed and only some of them recognize the art and display it.
I have tried editing the tags but its like the images are not there like since the image was in the forlder it pretty much overwrote things.
I have cleared the cache and data for google music rebooted my device with no luck.
What are my options at this point to get this picture out the tags and off my phone.

Hi
I too have a very similar problem. Have transferred 250+ songs (no albums, just individual songs) from my 'puter to the external SD card of my phone (Galaxy S3). Each cover for each song is embedded (correctly!) in the ID3 tag of each mp3. The songs play and covers display corrrectly when using a PC-based music player eg. Windows Media Player.
However, Google Play Music tags each song with the same cover tag (seemingly a random one from the 250+ songs). So...I deleted them all and started again. This time, I transferred a single mp3 and this displayed correctly (ie. with the ID3 embedded cover art). However, as soon as I transferred other songs, they too displayed with the cover art of the first transferred mp3. I too tried clearing the chace and data of the app but to no avail. I'm stumped..
Does anyone have any ideas to solve this? It's incredibly frustrating!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help..:good:
