So I installed jelly bean when it came out. (Codename Android 3.6.0 at the time of writing, but the problem persists regardless of the specific rom I'm using). I noticed that none of the music players available in the play store can find my music on my sd card. They are all in a folder named mp3, but I even tried renaming it to music - no luck. Also, the only pictures I can see in my gallery are the ones that have been made since the installation of the current rom. Does anyone have an idea how to force the mediascanner to actually scan my media? Damn, I want my media so bad

I have no idea why your music isn't being picked up. That's usually never an issue. Maybe someone else can chime in.
As for the gallery pictures not showing up. Just download Quick Pic from the Play Store. The default Android Gallery has been crying to be put of out of its misery for awhile now. It's terrible and slow. Yes, you can transfer pictures to your device and the gallery will take 5 minutes to eventually display them. Quick Pic is superior and will instantly pick up any pictures you add. No waiting involved.

Thank you for the tip, QuickPic actually solved my gallery issue, what still remains is the music list not showing up in any of the players I have tried... (Winamp, Google Play Music, Apollo, just to name a few)
check if one of the apps in use is the media scanner in a constant state of reboot.
media scanner problems often are caused by malformed jpeg file, the bug usually lies in the Exif information, you can use this tool (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/BatchPurifier.html) to remove Exif information from the file, 95% chance that everything returns to work including music and video because the media scanner is shared and if it hangs on jpeg images then can not catalog other multimedia files.
you will lose data such GPS position but the photo itself will remain intact, many have pointed at Camera360 as one of the sources of these corrupted files and I can confirm that.
I got a similar issue before and is solved by copy all media to a pc, delete the files in the phone, then move them back, see if it can help you

That's an old issue that happened to some when they updated to JB back in July. So, welcome to July.

@madd0g you had better stay off the forums, you are completely useless...
If it's not fixed completely, run a search on your sdcard for files named ".nomedia" and delete them.

Alrighty. Just make sure there are none at the root of the SDcard or in folders where you want pictures to appear. Clockworkmod ROM Manager had a bug back a lil while ago where it put some .nomedia files in wrong folders, making people unable to find their music/picture.

I already had similar question posted. Got no resolution....

Anybody have the solution? I am able to see pictures in gallery and videos on my MX player but no music?
I deleted nomedia (found one) and got rid of rom manager but still my music files don't show up with all the players. I can go directly to media/music via root explorer and play it though.
Go to your apps, find Media Storage, and then clear data & cache.
Download Rescan Media from the play store and run it. Wait for a bit (5 minutes should be good) and if you check in your music player(s) you should be able to see your music.
database or cache that the media scan builds is gone

I have done that and everything works fine. BUT! after a battery change or charge (plug in USB cable) the database or cache that the media scan builds is gone. Deleted or corrupted by something. Its back to the same state, no music, video, added ringtones or pics show until a rescan. What could be deleting it?
I have this weird problem. When i first got this device, i could drop a 4gb mkv (without conversion) on my memory card and watch it with no issues. As time went on, i havent been able to do so. Its hard to pinpoint exactly when this started happening. But heres the issue, i placed several mkv and mp4 movies on my memory card. I would go to play them using BS Player ( i also tried the stock app) and sometimes they would play, and sometimes they wouldnt. The times they would play, if i were to exit out of the movie, go to another app, and then go back to the movie, the movie would not play and the app would force close. I have tried putting my movies on different cards as well as directly on the device, and the device still wont play the movies properly. So, after the force close, about 5 minutes later, the tablet will reboot. I was having this issues before rooting (this actually made me want to root) and after. I just wanted to know if anyone esle experienced anything like this. I also tried playing movies from the USB port and SD card in the dock and still have the issue.
At first i thought it was a memory card issue so i went and got a 32gb, and still have the problem. The i thought it was a format issue. I formatted one to fat32 and the other to exfat, and still experience this. Then i thought it was the app itself, and i downloaded other alternatives and it still happens.
Also, let me add this one bit, is also happens with music that i have stored on the card and the device. Poweramp nor Google Music will play the music. I get the same force close and reboot each time.
I haven't tried playing a 4gb mkv file or anything similar, but I am able to watch smaller ~400MB mkvs off my microSD card (32gb) with no problem. I also regularly play music off of the microSD as well, and have never had a force close or restart because of it.
Have you tried a different memory card?
I have tried a sandisk and an aData. Question, do you keep your movies and music in folders on your memory card? If so, do you have a folder with the same exact names on your device? I had my movies and music in folders marked Movies and Music respectively on the memory card. I also had folders with the same name on my device. i renamed the ones of the card to Videos (there is a VIDEO folder on the device as well) and Albums and now the problem is not there. Might be a bug
I keep my music in a "music" folder in the root of my memory card, and my videos in a "video" folder as well. On my internal storage I have a folder named "Music" but its capital M instead of lower case. I do not have a video folder in my internal storage. Yet I haven't had any problems like what you mentioned.
But im glad its working now!
If it comes back I guess you could always do the common factory reset procedure to see if that helps. It doesn't seem like a hardware problem (like a device reader problem) because its persistent across different memory card types.

Not a bug per se, however some apps might not behave nicely. Read this thread, it might help you understand the issue. So, to work around it, avoid having multiple directories that only vary in upper/lower case, when they are in the same directory.

Makes sense then. I still wonder if anyone else has experienced this.
Edit: this is not the issue. I deleted the folders from my device called Movies and Music. On my card, i now keep them in folders called Flicks and Albums. There are no duplicate files on the device, but yet i am still having this issue.
ok, so i renamed the folders on the card. performed a hard reset and installed only bs player and poweramp. No issues. I kept going in and out of the apps to make sure the issue didnt come back. After several attempts, it did not surface. I proceeded to install all of my apps and still no issue. I did all of this yesterday morning. Fast forward to now, and the issue still has not come back yet. I guess i solved the problem....for now.

it came back. lol
I think Volume+ is the cause of the problem. I removed it for now. There is a notice that it doesnt work with JB, but it works on my nexus which is running JB.
I'm thinking some apps don't like the delay of the remounting of external storage when the app is running when the tab is put to sleep.

Hi All. Just got the Note 10.1 and loving it so far.
However, for some reason, I can't get any avi or mp4 to play. These are files that play perfectly well on my Galaxy Tab 7", SGS2 and SGS3 but refuse to play on the Note. I've tried a few other players and they refuse to play the files as well.
Any thoughts, hints or tips?
Cheers
I had a similar issue with my optimus 2x files did not play only sound can try changing hardware accelaration settings. May be the way the video is encoded it is not compatible with note codecs

Unfortunately, BS Player didn't work either! All I get is Blue notification box with a warning triangle saying
Cannot play video
Sorry this video cannot be played.
Forgot to mention that the Heli vid plays fine.
Also, I am Stock out of the box flavour of Android.
MX Player works for me. Anything I throw at it. If it doesn't, just change codec to software from hardware.
And there IS a VLC for android btw...
How are you transferring the videos to the device?

Copying files onto files on micro SD card and inserting it. Tried copying files onto internal SD but this didn't make any difference.

this is weird, my Note 10.1 plays anything I have and Im using the built in video player. Can you you PM me a description of a file of what you are trying to play so I can test it ?

I just watched the movie you told me to try and everything is fine. I used the stock player btw.
Sounds like it might be a warranty job.... Most people I know had it up and running out of the box with no problems....
If this was a hardware issue we should see the videos playing using software acceleration in diceplayer, bs player and others. The fact that these videos wont play at all on this device suggest some soft of software / codec issue. You say they play fine on other Samsung devices, i'd try a full ROM reinstall first before doing anything else.
Even if this is a software problem it shouldn't be this much trouble to get your tablet working. I'd still take it back under warranty as the codecs should be preloaded...
You haven't mentioned if you have rooted or whether you are on a cooked ROM, if so taking it back as a first step might be more hassle. I'd still recommend a total factory wipe before taking it back.
If you can record video on your tablet and play it back it would suggest to me there is nothing wrong with the hardware which is why I believe a factory reset should resolve it.
Can you record and playback?
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I went back to basics and eliminated everything hardware wise that might have caused the problems. I then had the brainwave of sticking my micro SD card from my SG3 into the Note and lo and behold, I could play videos with no problems at all! So I re-formatted the card in my PC (originally I had formatted it in the Note) and stuck an AVI on the newly formatted card. This played perfectly :laugh:
I hadn't thought it was the SD card as I could play MP3s from it with no problems at all, just wouldn't play videos.
Once again, many thanks for taking the time to help me with this problem.
:good:
I have a related problem.
I'm transferring MP4 videos from Windows 7 PC - Micro SD card in adaptor in the card slot on PC.
It will let me transfer about 5 and play them ok. Then it transfers the films, but gives the "Sorry cannot play this video" error message. When I look at the details of these none players, the resolution says 0x0 and the duration reads 00.00.
I have tried this on a Samsung 32gb disc formatted on the Note, and long format on a laptop running Vista. I've also tried a 16gb sd card. Same results every time.
Having read the thread, I tried recording video on the GN 10, it recorded and plays back ok.
Any suggestions would be welcome! I also hope this thread is still alive lol.
Hi--I have used this a long time, suddenly it has become non-functional, I suspect due to the 1.7.32 update, but not sure.
--Android 4.3 (I've avoided 4.4 to retain full functionality of the SD card...)
--MX Pro 1.7.32
--Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014
--Could not follow directions for alogcat because the nature of the problem makes MX unuseable once it crashes--there is no way to hit the "settings" button in MX Player Pro at that point.
PROBLEM
So, I bring up my file list as per normal. I click on a vid. The vid does not play. In fact, there is merely a blank screen. Eventually I'm returned to the home screen of the tablet and advised that MX Player has crashed. Sometimes, I don't even get the blank screen. It just automatically disappears and returns me to the tablet's home screen. Once that happens, the program never works again (until reinstalled or data cleared) and won't even let me into the program. Clicking its icon simply brings up a blank screen, then I get "Unfortunately, MX Player Pro has stopped..."
Troubleshooting
I have tried clearing cache, data and also reinstalling. The last two DO allow me to once again bring up the File List from "folders view." It looks normal once again. However, once I try to play vids, the same, exact result occurs, i.e., nothing actually plays and the program crashes with the screen going blank.
CLUES
a) I also have this on my phone, where it continues to work fine, but on my phone, I only have a handful of FLVs. The tablet has lots of other formats, primarily mp4. On my Note 4 phone, however, I'm running 4.4 KitKat.
b) If I access the video in a roundabout fashion, by clicking on it from a File Manager, the File Manager then offers to play it with the native vid player OR Mx Player. Then, it works fine. The exact same video. Of course, then I can't access any other parts of the MX P program, and I am no longer able to use the file list Mx Player P builds.
c) I tried playing with various settings, like hardware decoder, and what not, but it did not seem to help much.
My thought is that the version supporting Lollipop has done something that Samsung does not like in conjunction with 4.3
Any thoughts welcomed. TIA

Already there is a sticky thread in which I have already explained the procedure to collect the log immediately after crash.
Install MX Log collector app
Open It immediately after the MX Player Crash
Save the logs & Upload here
Does it crashes in all decoders?
If you are using H/W+ disable it & Check again.
long press the video & select Play using | S/W decoder
Check whether it still crashes or not.

Given your comment on list db corruption and the fact that some vids in small directories do work, I tried copying all the vids to a new directory. That didn't work.
I cleared data again and also downloade the arm7 Neon custom codec specified in the Decoder settings. That did not help either. (It did find and install the codec.)
With the clues you gave me, I experimented a little. In particular, I noticed that some vids in small folders (small in terms of # of videos), played fine. I thought at first, as mentioned earlier in the thread, it was a difference in format. But as we've seen, all the videos play fine if accessed from File Manager--so that's not it. With the addition of your clue on database corruption, I thought perhaps the issue was folder size. I divided the one large folder into two, 50-50. That fixed it.
I would say you have still an issue here---the program chokes with a large of vids in the database. It doesn't seem to bother other programs, including the native video player and BS, and it didn't seem to bother MXp Pro until the recent wave of updates. So, I suspect something went wrong somewhere.

So, as we all know, the K1 tablet (both versions, I have the newest revision), comes with nVidia ShadowPlay built into for video recording, and when you activate manual recording, the videos are saved to the photo/gallery photo on the main tablet's storage and not to an external SD card. Well, it came to my attention that when I record a video, as in starting and stopping when I'm done, the OSD states "recording saved", I look in all the folders and there is no video saved to the tablet. Am I doing something wrong? Is there no way for me to find out if it actually captures and records a video file or am I screwed?

That doesn't really help though, as I'm trying to locate the files so I can upload them to YouTube, or extract them and keep them on my PC so I don't run out of space as the files with ShadowPlay can get quite large, depending on the settings I use. The other problem is that the files are nowhere to be found on the SD card or internal storage, like, at all. I looked in all the folders, not a single MP4 file has been found, what am I doing wrong? What can I do to ensure that a file is actually written to the internal storage? Is there an actual way I can see where it stores the file? I'm getting kinda desperate here, because no matter how many times the app says "recording saved" it doesn't actually save a bloody thing. I must be doing something wrong.
I don't care about seeing the recordings on my tablet, I only care about being able to extract them from the tablet and uploading the files to YouTube from my PC after I copy them. Of course though, no one seems to ever reply to the threads I make anyway, so chances are, you'll be the only one to reply to them, which means this issue will get me nowhere after I reply.

So, does that mean that the files are in fact being recorded and saved, but are just "hidden" in some fashion? I'm just confused as to why they wouldn't give an option to show file in folder or the path, anyways, I installed the app and I do hope it works, that and I hope there's no weird writing permissions lol and thank you. Sorry for bothering ya.

No worries, things like that can get frustrating lol As long as MX Player can find the video (might have to hit the little refresh button) you should be able to locate it

Just tried that program and worked like a charm, it copied the video file to a folder I made in ES Explorer, thank you so much!
Though I do wonder though, where it's storing the videos beforehand, the file explorer shows a folder but cannot be accessed by normal means, I'm thinking it's hidden, and this thing is rooted, so I don't know lol. :laugh:
