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.
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.
i just flashed to wanamlite Room, it is normal with stuffs from internal card but something wrong with showing files from eternal card, i dont see any images in galery, audio files in Music player, and video files in Video player, I checked manually my external card through "my files" and every stuffs (images, audio, videos) are still there, but it isn't showing up, please help me.
thanks
Try a reboot first .
Try factory reset next .

also try clearing media storage app data in settings/applications/ all
This one has me stumped, today I transferred 5 songs to my phone's internal memory (I don't use a SD card) after that not one single song would play, I tried deleting the songs I transferred, that didn't work, tried deleting the whole music folder then copying 3 songs I had on my phone before back into my phone, I tried clearing data on app media storage, cleared cache, formatted internal storage, did a factory reset and I finally I re-flashed the Rom (padawan JB 2) after all that I transferred a single song and still won't play. it freezes for a few seconds then it gives me this cannot play track error.
The only weird thing about this is that I can use ES explorer browse to my music on my PC and it will just play fine on the regular music player.:silly:
Anyone heard of this or have this happened to them, I tried searching Google but I didn't have much luck, I tried searching here but it says that search is not working right now...
Redmi Note 4
MIUI version: 9.0.5.0
Andriod version: 7.0 NRD90M
Recently purchased a new SD card 128gb.
Its recognised and picked up by the phone, i can transfer files to it via USB, however on then trying to play music it will glitch out and lag, replaying the same section of song over and over, it doesnt even play the song you choose but a different song completely.
I can't make new folders or edit the sd card from within the phone. I've tried this on file explorer and ES file explorer, neither work.
I've re-formatted the SD card through the phone and via a PC and yet the same problem persists.
When i go to Settings>Storage the SD card shows as reading and gives me the options of unmounting or erasing and formatting, both of which i've tried also.
I've tried multiple music platforms also with no success. Its almost as if the files are being corrupted when they are being played.
Please have some solution to this madness! The SD card works fine in the pc and files are not corrupted? only when it is in the phone is there a problem. Further more when i move the music from the SD card to the internal storage it plays fine without any lagging or glitches?
Many thanks
Arran :good:

Sadly, you cannot write stuff to thw sd card, that is make folder or copy using the phone, *without root* so that's the reason why you are not able to make folders. I guess with nougat you are restricted to some extent, but not so that you are unable to play music. Maybe thats just miui, i am gunna flash miui in some days and will let you know if that happens with me too.

Hmm, thats annoying. I shall have to try out nougat, gunna take a while to download tho..
That would be handy if you could tell me if you face the same problem? Do you think because you cannot write to this card putting music files on there via a pc would then stop the music being played? it doesn't make much sense!

Ok so here is the conclusion, but firstly there are somethings which i want you to know. So yesterday i downloaded the stable miui 9 build from the website and it was downloaded successfully, but when i tried to install it. Twrp said the file is corrupted. So today once again, i starter the download of the build, and to my bad luck, it said corrupted again. Nevermind i had the December build (7.12.67 developer weekly) so i installed it. And now as of sound, i had a music file on my sd card, and I played it with the default music app, and it played with no errors. Then i tried it with es file manager (no root provided) and there also it was good. Now after i was done testing with miui, i installed resurrection remix 5.8.5 and here also it works well, the music is played without any error. So i guess this seems to be a bug of the software , maybe? Btw i have a sandisk 8 gb regular sd card (no high speed or class 10). Maybe it's the huge size of sd card, because of which the music stutters, since the music app has to actually scan whole of the sd card for files. On a side note, i have ordered a pair of 64 gb otg pendrives, which are gonna come next week. So i will check if theres an error there, and will report.
