I know this is not a new issue by any means and I've tried to search for a definitive answer.
I thought certain ROMs were causing the problem that the phone cannot find certain mp3 files on the external SD or in some cases any music at all.
This has seemed to be cured by flashing a different ROM so so far so good.
I've been running revolt 4.4 and transferred a new album via PC USB to the phone yesterday. Poweramp picked up immediately as usual but Google play music and amazon mp3 didn't. So triggered media scanner manually to no avail. I tried clearing the media storage cache and data as I've often read but on any ROM this has never rebuilt for me...ever.
I ran a nandroid of xtreme v8 which has been perfect. Guess what ? New album in its folder in Music on the external SD card but the phone will not pick up. Any clues anyone . please ?
i had this problem , here is what i found to fix it
1) if it was a huge album ( more than 14 songs ) , u should trigger the media scanner and force stop the music player and just leave the phone for an hour or so ,
2) if it's a normal album ( 14 songs or less ) , copying the album in MTP mode ( rather than mass storage mode) will do it
3) if the problem presists , then downloading the album directly through ur phone or copying them through a usb OTG cable will fix it.
NB: media scanner root is a handy tool to manually trigger the media scanner

Its the problem of framework-res.apk not only videos audio files also won't get detected it says sd-card error only poweramp works also gallery won't work only quic pic works solution is to flash rom again wiping everything including sd-card but do a back-up of ur sd-card first
I've recently flashed the stock rom via flashtools and then wipe data cache etc done...
now when I opened album,walkman, movies app ; it shows there is no media.
The problems are as below :
The inbuilt media apps don't show any media even if there is a lot of media on the phone
when I add new media like a new photo, only the new one is visible
the third party apps like quickpic, poweramp and mx player shows all the media
The main problem is, on connecting to the pc, it also don't show the old folders... but it shows the remain memory on phone correct...
I also tried to copy the file to other folder on phone and connected to pc, but it didn't show that folder too...
So, I can't access or take the files backup to the pc...
On the pc it only shows the folders which should be on there when the phone is brand new...
I even can't backup the media files or my titanium folder to the pc...
I've checked for the hidden files too...
and reflashed too...
So, now what should I do???
please help...
I seem to have accidentally stopped MediaService on my unrooted stock S3 running Jelly Bean. Several media apps/functions are not working:
Not able to access sound settings - Settings crashes if I try change ringtones
Stock media player doesn't recognise songs stored in phone/SD card
Not able to access Gallery - Photos don't get saved to gallery
Alarm does not sound
I tried reflashing with stock firmware, that didn't solve the problem.
Any solution to this would be much appreciated.
Although files still exists in internal and external memories using ES Explorer, media wont show up in gallery, music player, and all media apps.
* I have not downloaded recent apps
* New media taken by camera app and screenshots are shown in gallery and if I rename them they disappears among others
* New media downloaded from web doesnt shown
* I have unmounted and removed sdcard and nothing changes so the problem is not from the sdcard
* Downloaded third party media scanners doesnt work
* I have cleared cache of "Gallery" and "Media Storage" also didnt work
So, any idea to get my old media back in gallery??
I think the issue is in the media scanner that wont scan for my media
Reflash and factory reset.
