Hi,
I've installed my Nook Color with Honeycomb (HC v4 eMMC 2nd).
I've copied few images and videos into the NC (by mounting the 'media' using Nook Color USB Mass Storage utility). But in the gallery nothing is shown and I tried the same with SD card too. In fact I've faced the same problem with Nookie Froyo too.
I came to conclusion that I m copying the files to wrong place (unlike my N900 which reads from any place )
Some one, please help.
Thanks.

Try another way install "file expert" from market, run the application and enable "ftp sharing" and so you can easily connect PC to nook and transfer your files.
Thanks. But can you please tell me where to copy the image/video files? I mean is there any special place where NC Honeycomb looks for media files?
Quite new to the whole thing myself, images belongs to DCIM folder to show up in gallery and I believe for video/mp3 it does'nt matter which folder you choose.

Thanks. In fact I've copied a movie into the media directory. But no luck Any other thoughts...
Fellas,
Am I only one having this problem ? At least confirmation from people for whom it is working fine with Images (I need to try with DCIM), Videos and Songs would be highly appreciated
What are you using to copy the files? Have you check with astro that the files are actually copied? if you are using ums, unmount the drive from the PC beforce choosing unmount on ums.

I don't think the HC rom can see anything written in the folders on EMMC. You can't even navigate to it with Root Explorer because I don't think it's even mounted.
I've switched back and forth between CM7 and HC, and while running CM7 I moved some music from my sdcard to the Music folder in EMMC. When I loaded up HC all of the music disappeared, and only my photos on the sdcard were viewable. Once I flashed back to CM7 all of the music was back.
It was also a test for me to see if the entire internal memory of the nook is wiped using the options in CWR, and apparently all of the files stay intact.
I am having these issues as well. I put a picture in every DCIM folder on the nook. I put it on my micro sd card, and nook media drive. I have unmounted and mounted several times. I have tried music with a folder named music on the root of my sd card and in the nook media drive. I can see it if I go to it in root explorer, and actually play it from there, but nothing will show in my gallery or music player. Any help is greatly appreciated.
ROM - nookie comb
Thanks you all for your inputs.
Initially I've tried with CM7 only. Might be I've some thing wrong... I'll try with it again..
If the issue is originally present with HC rom, though disappointed, but still okay with it as I can be sure that i m not missing something

Hint
After long gap I think I see the problem now. When I copied images to NC (mounted using UMC app and ejected from system and then unmounted in UMC), the media scanner seems not seeing the updates or it is sleeping. If I restart the NC, then images were shown in the Gallery app.
Is there any setting or tip to make the scanner look for the update?
Will Nook version of Cyanogenmod or any Android 2.3 firmware release does the task well?

Android by Default rescans for Media at every Boot. If you want there are Apps to Manually scan.
Search the Market for "Rescan Media ROOT" it will Manually force Scan you're device and can disable scan on boot if you want to speed up boot.
Also I recommend getting "StudioKUMA" as it allows you to easily Blacklist folders which you don't want scanned.

Thanks. Does it mean when ever we copy some new media (be it images/songs/videos), we manually need to initiate the scanning. (asking again because my Nokia N900 will show the new stuff without a glitch immediately I eject from System)

Only if you want it to recognize new stuff imediately. It'll scan for new stuff eventually but sometimes it can take awhile.

SD Card -> DCIM for pictures. I use Astro File Manager to view them without issue. Will try tonight to see if I can see them in the gallery.
Hello everybody!
As per title I am opening gallery and it sees only items installed in the internal sd, how can I let gallery look at .jpg files registered on the EXT SD ? I am not used to this filesystem. For example linking through USB to the car audio system let you listen only to songs installed on the internal SD.
ALL other considerations on the ROM are: perfect, particularly regarding battery life. Didn't find options for my SIP number account, using Sipdroid flawlessly .
Regards.
Alessandro
Try to force media files check. Go in Settings , Sdcard and memory, and unmount/remount sdcard.
Thanks for your reply, tried also folders rescan in dev tools, seems it scans EXT EMMC also but no results . Must look into some older thread in Acer Liquid, I remember smthg regarding a COOLIRIS.MEDIA file in sdcard in order to let device look into specific media for the type of files.
Will come back with results .
Regards , Alessandro.
So, I found that msg., but it regarded an old 2.2 version of Android for the Acer Liquid, and it said to cancel file in Android/data/, all the files in Cooliris.media, and reboot; maybe System remounts files in the SD when scanning for media and rebiults this file properlY ( it seems now untouched from the 23 of December ). Turning to EXT 4 as I am now maybe left EXT Sdcard unchanged: even if I set photos to be recorded in the external, photo is actually recorded only in internal SD ( which is a bit ..... full now, with nandroid etc. ) .
Need help.
Regards
Alessandro

Found I had from 5/1/2012 a .NOMEDIA file in the root of External SD: deleted it and ... problem solved.
Hi all,
when ever i flash custom kerenel (abyssnote ) stored media files (images and videos) doesn't show up in gallery and videos. That means it say no media when open videos. But if I go to file explorer those files are available. This can be rectified if i re-format internal SD card. But i gotto to reload the files again via PC. How to avoid this ?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 purchased in Mexico from Telcel running CyanogenMod 7.2.0. Every time I reboot the phone the media library (music, pictures and videos) becomes completely blank, and I must repopulate it by starting the built-in file manager, marking the SD card's root folder as media scannable, and issuing a new media scan using the Dev Tools app. This is a hassle because every time I reboot my phone I have to reconfigure my ringtones and my alarms. I have already done my googling and poking around wikis and forum threads and nobody seems to have any clue.
Thanks in advance.
Try to look in your sdcard folder...if you find a .nomedia file, delete it and re-run media scan... .nomedia files tells the system not to scan that particular area for files, its appearance at wrong places (e.g. The sd card root directory) will cause media not to be found...
After creating new photo albums in gallery on my Samsung tab 2 only the camera album is loaded to extSdCard. As I use the MicroSd in various devices I would love to know how I can change the settings so that additional albums (I.e. holiday photos ) are loaded to extSdCard and not internal memory.
I have all necessary apps installed to solve (running custome rom on gingerbread ), but just don't know what I need to change or reprogram?
Grateful to any of you guys or dolls for a solution.
Thank you!
