Music Player dont find SD Card Files - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have read the found threads but none was able to explain better or solve this problem.
My friends GT-P3100 is running a Rooted Stock 4.2.2. But the Stock Music player would not detect the Mp3 files in the SD Card. I copied a few into the Device Storage and it found it.
Does that means i have to move all the files to device? Any optional Player to work perfectly?
Thanks

[Q] BS Player can't play video from SD card (CM11)

Hi. I use Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with Cyanogenmod 11, TWRP kernel.
Since I flashed the new ROM (from stock to CM) I am having troubles playing video with BS Player (Google Play) from my external SD card (MicroSHDC 16 GB) .
I remember having some problems with SD card when I flashed it on my old Galaxy S2, but not this exact one.
I still can play the videos with default player and VLC player (VLC can't see any files on SD card in the bulit-in browser, but can play them when opened from a file explorer), which is quite weird.
I want to use BS Player because of it being able to directly download subtitles, which is very handy (czech subtitles).
For now I can either flash the stock ROM, always copy the files fron SD to internal memory or use different player with external subtitle downloader.
If this was already posted, I'm sorry. I couldn't find it, please refer me to the topic.

Playing .mkv (samsung tabpro 10.1)

Hi all,
When i put mkv files on external micro sdcard by a usb to microsd adapter.
The mkv files dont play on mxplayer on my samsung tabpro.
But when i use kies software from samsung and put the files by connecting the samsung tabpro directly to my pc.
The files come under DCIM/Camera/mkvfiles on the microsdcard the they play with mxplayer.
Just to let people know here.
Seems very strange huh.
I wanted to buy and still going to if all works on mxplayer.
But i search really hard why my mkv files did not play on my samsung tabpro.
Any reason why i need to use samsung software to put files on the microsdcard to play mkvfiles.
greetings

Hi,
This is very strange because storage location does not affect playback at all.
If you unplug USB connection immediately after copying file, file can be corrupted because file may still being copied by Windows USB driver or Windows file system. Use "Remove device safely" menu on the Windows notification bar area. It will ensure file buffer being flushed.

It's due to the android restriction introduced on Kitkat onwards. It prevents the third party applications from directly writing on external sdcard. They can ony write in their respective data folder in sdcard. If you have rooted device then you can fix it by downloading a simple application. Else you have to use Samsung file manager.

As @bleu8888 said don't unpulg the usb device during copy.
Sometimes background process may still copy. Before unplug the usb test the copied file is whether playable or not. If you are still unable to play check the hash values of both files (like md5 or sha1) to ensure the file integrity. Most of the latest file managers like es, Fx can do this. If it doesn't match there should be some problem on your samsung file manager.
Hi,
I think its indeed a read and write problem.
Going to have a look into this.
Maybe root if i find more info about it.
Thx

I do have kitkat with same restriction.
Other apps can't write in microsd in my device too. I am also using samsung file manager to copy any files to microsd card. But, I can play everything whatever I have.
If you look at your case, other then it's data folder mx player can't write anywhere. Even mx player can't write in DCIM folder. But, it's playing well when you copy through kies means your file is complete. It seems that when you coping from file manager it's getting corrupted or not completely copied.
To copy files there is no need to use kies. When you connect in mtp mode your device will be listed as media device. If you open that it will show both internal & external sd. You can copy to any folder.

Indeed no need for kies.
The issue seems more my sdcard itself.
I have a couple 64gig class10 sandisk here.
Restriction from pc to tab is very bad. But if i use cardreader seems like i can write on the card again.
But i have probs with 64 gig sandisk very strange.
Its like person above said movies are like not fully written on de sdcard.
But I realocated the partion on itand formated it now it seems ok.
So Sdcard was like 59gig partion and 3gig other partion and i scrap and made it only 1 partition in total seems it write much beter now.
