So I have Samsung SSD T5 filled with high quality photos and would want to view them with Tab S7+.
Is it possible to browse/view/slideshow them with any gallery app? So it would scan the photos and you could view them like locally. (Yes, it is possible to open them individually with file manager.)
Just how hard can it be? I really hope I'm just stupid and missing something here. (And hopefully not missing something like root permissions or an iPad...)

Back in my G1 days, I was a huge fan of the Photoburst album. Its quick and easy to use.
Now that I have Android on my HD2, I redownloaded Photoburst and it found my pictures from my SD just fine, but it is a bit quirky...for starters, it is slow (lags quite badly) when opening and zooming on pictures. The quality is also quite sub-par. The pictures themselves are crystal clear when viewed on my G1 or on my PC.
Has anyone noticed similar issues?
Also, can anyone recommend a decent 3rd party photo album for Android? I am not a fan of the stock Gallery app (albeit, it does work quite well).
Hi,
did you find any decent Photo Album application for Android ? Photo Galery shows in a low quality when in slide presentation. My Photo just can't update the thumbnails... It has a database update but doesn't works. It keeps showing already deleted folders and photo thumbnais and because of that, when in Slide show, keeps trying to show pictures that already were deleted.
Well...I want a simple, but functional Photo slide application where I can choose one or more folders from my SD card to show.
Any idea ??
Thanks,
Carlos
Hi all,
I just bought a archos 70 250gb and i bought it with the idea to have a backup of my music and pictures. But now i have about 24.000 media (pictures, music and some videos) files and the scanner is having a really hard time finishing the process and mostly seem to fail.
Is there a way to monitor where it goes wrong?
Is there a limit for the amount of files the library is able to scan?
Is there any other way to finish this process?
Now i can only play my files by a folder player (now using poweramp) and i can't watch all of the pictures because it fails on scanning them.
Now it's kind of useless to have 250gb if it doesn't work properly.
Are there other people that have the same issues, and might have a solution ?
Thanks in advance!
(i have searched, but couldn't find anything similar)
Received an answer from Archos:
Dear Customer,
The android operating system used by your Archos limits the number of files indexed, because of this limit some files like music, videos or pictures will not be added to the media library of the device and will not be visible when you browse the media library by Artist, songs, albums etc..
You can access to the files not indexed by using the file browser of the device, or by the “storage” item of the audio player (or video player).
This limit can’t be increased
Kind Regards,
Archos Technical Support

So seems there is now way to solve it...
Does anyone know an android music player that builds its own library?
I know poweramp is trying to release one in april, but i would like one now since i want a good working device..
Mixergy does not build its own library, but you can point it to one or more folders and have it play those.

What error show up??
I have over 80GB Music putted into my Archos 70 250GB too, also have 30~40 videos in it.
First time I need to download '.nomedia tools' from Market, than tick all non media folder to apply .nomedia, then do a media scan again and let it run overnight, its done!
This has been covered before:

.. but to be honest, that won't help you a lot unless you've got # symbols in your files.
I eventually managed to get all my music files scanned, so I think the 20000 limit is not quite as set in stone as they say. However, it took a couple of weeks of solid effort and some coding on my part (feeding music files one by one into the media scanner and leaving it running overnight several times, and over one whole weekend) - not something I can easily give to anyone else, and something I'd hate to replicate if I ever had to clear my media library.
Hello,
can anyone give me some hints (setting or extra app) how to deal with the mess in the gallery and album name(s)?
I have for e.g. a local HDD dir with name "holiday_2003" and plenty of subdirs.
In the gallery I get a separate album for each directory (instead I want a single album with name "holiday_2003")?
Also my music picture(s) are shown which I would not like (I mean cover art etc.). This may come from separate cover art files from within the music folder(s) and there may be no workaround.
With the Samsung gallery App itself there are not really many options to set this up.
Otherwise I would have to go into the SD card folders and clean everything up which waste(s) my time ;-(
Any advice or better gallery App I could use?
i did -
plug in phone goto sd card create forders pictures music notifications videoes etc
place your photo albums in pictures then they show indavidual folders in gallary same for albums just put ur music folders in music folder etc etc
I just transfered from the Vibrant to the Amaze (love it so far) but for some reason, the gallery app is not picking up my Vibrant files.
I had a bunch of different folders on there, like my camera photos, dowloads, videos.
All of the photos and videos I took with my Nexus One show up just fine, but none of the ones from the Vibrant. Am I missing something here? Also, the HTC music app pulls all my MP3s from the SD card, but Google Music does not. Maybe I need to run the Rescan Media for that, but it didn't fix the gallery issue.
Just a thought: The Vibrant has internal storage that behaves like an external memory card. Is it possible your Nexus One stuff is on the MicroSD card, but the photos you took with the Vibrant are not, but instead were in internal storage?

Install a 3rd party app for viewing photos like quickpic, see if the pictures show up there.. maybe somehow your vibrant pictures ended up in a folder with a .nomedia file?(that would keep it from being scanned by stock software)
I haven't used google music in a while, but I thought you had to manually set the media locations to scan? I highly doubt that it has anything to do with coming from a vibrant.. I would definitely verify that you can find the files with file explorer and try to open them manually to make sure they aren't corrupt or missing.
I think 2ndHalfCor was right about the photos. The Vibrant in itself does act as an external device, which I am assuming is where the photos are stored
As far as Google Music goes, I don't see an option to select a source for my songs. It only shows the few that I bought with the service
Greetings, first time poster long time lurker. right, straight to it. my Samsung J7 Refines (Oreo 8.0.0) file transfer over USB is slow in windows file manager. task manager shows it caps at 0.5MBps
i have tested transfering to both internal storage (apps only) and my SD card (music, all photos and videos) and here's what i figured out
Viewing photos or videos in windows file explorer "previews" 0.1 - 0.5MBps so it takes several minutes to find the pic im looking for when each one pops in slowly, and if i dont scroll down, it will stop loading altogether. If i copy a video or a group of photos or any other large file and move them to the desktop, it will transfer around the limit of my card, about 20MBps. its just the previews that are unbelievably slow. my iPhone 5s and even my $40 ZTE didn't have this issue with file explorer loading previews slow. Any ideas on this?
EDIT: Tried playing a video on the internal storage, it capped the USB transfer at 38MBps. playing yet another large video from the SD card, same result just caps at my card limit of around 20MBps. which is actually 19MBps if we want to get technical
