I copied a bunch of ebooks over to the Transformer and have noticed that all the cover images are showing up in the gallery, including ones which have always had a .nomedia file already in its folder. Anybody else having a similar problem?

Had the same issue.
Did a reboot and then it worked.
Yeah I've seen the same thing, having game music and cutscene movies showing up in the music app and things showing up in the gallery that shouldn't. All files are in a folder with a .nomedia file but still scans them.

Well, I rebooted and prior to that, I put a .nomedia file in the root directory for my books instead of each individual folder. I still have the covers, but at least they're in one folder in the gallery now.

Upload said music to google music from pc. Update google music app on android then enjoy the music from your external harddrive
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Poweramp has the option to do so
Music for pad allows you to choose which folder(s) to look for music in. You can navigate to the external.

Definiately. I have been using it since 1.3 on my Desire (bought it), but it was not working on the transformer until now.
Poweramp 2.0.1-build455 works flawlessly on the Transformer and the best music player out there (I tried PlayerPro, Mixzing, Winamp Pro, Doubletwist, wPlayer etc. but always came back to this one)

Do you have a rooted tablet? If so, this is easy! All you need is a kernel like clemsyn's or roach's with the tun/cifs module and a cool program called CIFS Manager. This will allow you to mount any network share as if it were a local folder on your tablet. Then any media player should see the music share as if it were all stored right on your tablet, even the default music app. Easy as pie.

Well, now I'm on Krakd and Poweramp behaves strangely as well - before that (stock) All I needed to was go to settings, set the folders where it should scan for Music and voila, it was working - now it acts up and does not work - however if I run a track from the External HDD from Astro (selecting Poweramp) it plays without any problems... strange.
Edit - maybe you are lucky - just set up PowerAmp to look for music on the external HDD (disabled by default)

I went into settings to the search folders part it only should my sd not my external even tho it was in
If i used cifs would i have to put my external hdd to my router and have it as a network drive or just straight to the tf?
Sorry to bug you guys its just i have no where else i can put 50gb of music and it would be nice to be able to have it on my tf

Try "/sdcard/share" without the quotes as the mount path, then it should appear in your file manager or other apps is the local folder "share"

I just bought this tablet a dew days ago. I'm really liking it so far. I loaded a digital copy of a Disney movie for my daughter. The cdrom said it was windows media player or iTunes compatible. I loaded the media player file onto my as card on the tablet.
It tries toplay but it is all messed up. I tries real media player and that didn't work either. .
Any suggestions? It was one of the main reasons I bought it, so that my daughter could watch movies when we travel.

What is the file's format? Try downloading MXplayer from the store and run the movie there.

After the name of the name of the file there should be a dot and an extension (e.g. .avi, .mp4, etc)

Hmmm it says beautyandthebeast_port_en and the other filename is beautyandthebeast_pc_en. My guess is the port one is for portable devices such as tablets and the pc one is to be played from a computer. There are no file extensions. Very strange....

you have to "turn on" the show extensions option, by default it's "turned off"

While you have the sdcard on the tablet (with the movie on it), tap the status bar on your tablet (where the clock is) you should be able to see a rectangle notification that says "External storage insert" with a little folder beside it, tap that little folder. This will open asus file manager, you should be able to tell the file extension through this manager, so look for your movie file and post what you see after the dot.

I've seen that behavior on stock UCLE2 as well after flashing a rom or restoring nandroid backup.
Solution is to delete the db files in /data/data/com.android.providers.media/databases and then reboot. Media scanner will then rebuild the media indexes.
After doing a lot of searching and reading, I found the above reply in another thread. This is the same problem I am having with my music files. I tried the fix mentioned, removing the db files and rebooting. This works great and rebuilds the database so only one instance of a file is displayed. Until the next time you reboot, when the duplication starts over again. Does any one know of a permanent fix to this issue.

When I go in astro file manager>Android>data>com.android.providers.media Only album thumbs is available. This is on my internal SD and my music is saved to my external SD. Is this where the duplicate files are coming from? So do I delete the album thumbs folder?
Another option is to simply point music folder library to where you know it is. I sync to external sd with double twist, so when I use another player just limit music directory to the folder you sync to.

Hey guys,
This doesn't make sense to me - music players won't detect an externally connected usb drive or stick. I have tried Google Music, PlayerPro (full), Jetaudio, and poweramp. None of them search for the external usb even though the device knows it is connected. I can play files individually from file manager but can't shuffle the contents of a folder full of music.

From what I see, although we have usb host abilities there are few devices that work this way. Your device will periodically scan for new media when things change and rebuild the library. Due to the time and power it takes to do so external devices are not scanned in this. All of the players basicly work off of the internal media list of the os's scan so unless one can be found with device, and I would bet root access I don't see this working.
Although above my head I could see a developer being able to build this ability into a kernel at a later date. Battery would suffer greatly though.

The media scanner has nothing to do with the kernel. Any music player that can play folders should still work fine for external drives.
When the external is plugged in, the os scans it anyway. If they do operate the way you say, then the player should recognise the files as just 'there' and we would be able to play them.

Also, when watching videos, it skips to the next in the list without a problem. Not so with music.

I keep running into space issues as my tablet only has 16gb on board and part of the reason is that MX Player seems to be auto generating thumbnails. I actually don't need or want thumbnails to be generated - is there a way to disable? Or write to an external card?
Though, it would be even better to know why the thumbnail folder size would even be that big
Sent from my Note 4 using Tapatalk
Wow thats too much, where is it located? Its really insane!
To disable cache thumbnails, go to settings>general>cache thumbnails and uncheck!
It's in /storage/emulated/legacy/.thumbnails
I actually unchecked that though the images came back. The only other app I can think of is Plex but I have plex on my phone and use it - it never generates such a large folder
I also tried creating a symlink to move it off local storage but that keeps failing
Sent from my Note 4 using Tapatalk
These thumbnails aren't only generated by mx player, I have quickpic installed and this app is really a headache!
