It has to do with the album art and\or the ID3 tags, I believe.
Do a search for "manila music stops after 3 seconds" and you'll find a few threads addressing this issue and the fixes for it.

PLS give me a link or something like that because i can't find nothing that can be useful on me HTC TD 2

Many different solutions with that search:
Here's one.
More here:
and the list goes on.

Those things didn't work for me,I've try also to copy mp3-s with activsync ,try with different sd card and the problem is there on new music tab also and on Duttys roms and all other with the new sense can you help me and is there solution except to back to older version of the rom?

Did you remove all of the album art and make sure all files are not read only?

Yes ,i did it few times,but the problem is still there .i've found one solution ,but it's stupid and useless-it's to put mp3-s in internal memory and remove the sd(only then it works) or to put max 3 mp-3s on sd

I don't remenber where is it in the registry, but you need to modify paths where your mp3 are, internal and memory card, in this case it's crash because where you put your mp3 on the memory card isn't the correct path in registry; do this with 6.5 and 2.5 sense.

Try this, in registry go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Information\
albumart_update_failure= 0
albumart_update_success= 0
albumart_updating= 0
albumArtPath= Remove Value
available_storage_card= Storage Card;
With mp3s on SD card, set the following value to a specific song
path= (eg., \Storage Card\My Music\Songname.mp3)
Soft reset and see what happens.

This is not working

Try this:
With file explorer go to
My device\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
delete file "AudioManager_Eng.vol" and make a soft reset.

The last one should have fixed it.
You may want to consider a hard reset or refomat your SD card.
These are all the known fixes for this issue.
Sorry.

maybe you can check your mp3s one by one. i had nearly the same problem. the reason was one special mp3 album that made the player stop after some seconds/minutes. i deleted all the mp3s on my sdcard and copied them one by one / album by album on my sdcard and checked every time if the player stops after a while. at least i found the album / mp3s that were corrupted...

Hello guys ,like all of you i am a Htc fan and i had the same problem on my touch diamond...After many tryes i did solved this problem for me.
Try this and it should work and please post a reply if it works for you too
1-Go to youre music folder (path with all the music) and delete all the songs bigger than 10,5 Mb.
2-Go in device memory "Application Data"->"Htc"->"AudioManager_Eng" and there you will find a folder called "Playlists" and a file "AudioManager_Eng.vol"
3-Delete this folder "Playlists" ,and rename "AudioManager_Eng.vol" as you wish ,Eg. "asdfdasd".
4-Reboot your device and the player sohould be fine after a long seach for music.
5-For all the operation i ussed TotalCommander.
I hope it will work for all of you.

TotalCommander
Here you go !

MX Video Player problem

Hi there,
Few days ago I noticed that MX Video Player (v1.5a) that I am using is not showing anymore list of my videos in content folder. I tried following without success:
- create new folders on internal & external SD cards
- unmount/mount all SD cards
- uninstall/install MX Video Player
- wipe ROM and install complete new fresh ROM (chivato's)
All above not helped to solve this problem!
Anyway, existing video folder in ext. SD Card is still vissible to default LG video player and also to File Expert, Root Explorer, etc. and can browse and start playing all my videos with MX Video Player but I inside app (Folders) is still notice: No videos were found!
Any clue?
Cheers
EDIT: After support from MX Video Player team, my mystery is finally solved. In player preferences was checked feature '.nomedia recognition' on Preferences > List? It should be turned off to scan all files ignoring existence of .nomedia file!
Thank you all for help and specially MX player support!

That happens to my mx player too. However, once I open the file from my ES Explorer (and pause it and exit the explorer), I can go back in mx and it will see all the videos.
Also, make sure you double check your mx player settings and make sure that it's not excluding the folders you want to find.

I tried like you told, but still no luck. Also, my video folders are checked but MX video player just can not find my files??? Unbeliveable...
I even tried to restore through CWM my older backups and MX player still don't want to list my video files!
Cheers

Or maybe it has got something to do with the way ROM functions ? I'm on the stock ROM and so far things are good. No app has behaved abnormally, ever. Only when I try to play video files that requires some codec not provided out-of-the box that it enters into a loop and it crashes.
Try some other app to see if the problem persists or it could be that the problem seems to be somewhere else

there a setting in the menu wich permits to specify the path of your videos and
add a lot of folders .. i think this will solve the problem

Hello,
I was using MX Video player with ROMs stock v20L and rebuild v20o, v20q without any problems until few days ago. I did not change anything on ROM or apps preferences. Just opened app and list of videos were not showed anymore. After several reinstalls, I even tried to install fresh copy of new ROM (chivato's FLEXBOMB) after wiping all data/cache/dalvik and then MX player but still without succes to get my video list inside. Today I installed Mobo Player and my video folders are accesible normally through Mobo!
When I browse videos through several explorers like ES File Explorer or File Expert, my video folders are visible to them and MX video player starts to run video without any problem but when I choose my folders inside MX player refresh don't work. I tried/checked all suggestion from official FAQ http://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/faq#TOC-I-installed-MX-Video-Player-but-vid bit still have no luck! I don't know what could be problem...

have you tried to go in applications installer,delete cache and data?
have you tried to delete the mx folder and reinstalled the app?

Yes, tried that all before! No help so far!
I even tried to restore my backup through CWM where all system was OK for sure, but even then MX player won't find folders. Realy strange!

pls go in mx player setting and plz send me what's the path there..
After plz send me the path of your multimedia files..
Cheers

I was hoping this would solve your problem
If you still don't see video files, the files may be set as hidden. To get around this, go to [Preference]->[Video list] and make sure "Display hidden files" is checked and ".nomedia recognition" is unchecked. Press "Refresh" after you changed the preference
Or
You can try placing a single video file on root directory and see if MX fetches it for you. If it doesn't then something permanent has happened.
Which is wierd

Paths are in both ways same, this is not problem. I found only strange when I add paths to my folders (I have one folder on int. SD card & one on my ext. SD card) and checked them, after I exit preferences and enter preferereces again, paths are still there but they are unchecked again??? Please, can someone check in his settings are paths to video directories are checked? I don't know why this can not be saved in my preferences!

I tried 1st solution before without success.
Also tried 2nd suggestion and seems to MX player can not remember paths for folders to scan. Paths are exisiting but they are remain unchecked after leaving settings. Btw. I am using this player since 1st release and I am familiar with his settings but now I am kind of crazy because this wierd behaviour. Think I call Mulder & Scully, it seems they are having new case right now

Opened my MXPlayer, and all folders are unselected too. It seems that as long as they're there, you're fine.
I have mnt/emmc and mnt/sdcard paths in it.
Can you try another 3rd party video player, see if it will work?

My paths are also there, unchecked like yours.
I installed Mobo player and same paths are working fine with him, also tried in default stock video player - he also can see all my videos without any problems! Unbeliveable!

MX video
sometime hd 1080 plays dragingly

I haven't checked or selected any folders till date(for any player). Lol
And it still gets the job done

Lucky you!

Hi,
I received answer from MX Player support that new v1.6 which is avaliable for download have improved search for folders. Just installed and still have same problem. After that I decided to start from beggining again. Reboot to CWM, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, clean install ROM - rebuild of v20q update, download MX player from market and problem still persist. When I open MX Player I got message: No videos were found. Tried all with both SD Cards - internal & external! Just want to notice again. I also tried Mobo player and he is working normally - found all my videos in specified folders which MX player can not! Now, I am lost all my ideas for possible solutions. 10 days ago everything was fine. I did not change anything, just one day want to play some videos on my phone and my nightmares stared. Ok, I will accept some hardware failure but why Mobo player is working and also stock video player. They are seeing my folders normally. So that means my hardware is ok (phone and SD cards) and video files also. I can browse my video files through File Expert and choose MX player - he is playing files normally but only can not scan them any more! I realy like this player and don't want give up of him! Any new help will be welcome!
Cheers

[Q] Stock music app can't see my music files...

Hello,
Today i just bought an HTC One (Great Device btw...) and i can't figure out how to refresh my music library (Stock Music App). I copied my music files via network from my NAS to phone's music folder but the application can't see them.
Any ideas except using another music player or using USB Cable to sync music with pc?
Thanks in advance!

Connect with USB cable to a PC or laptop, wait till device will be recognized and connected (will appear in the explorer as a drive), then disconnect. all files downloaded through wireless network will be recognized.
Alternative way - to download files from cloud services, like dropbox, instead of over Wi-Fi using ES File explorer from home computer etc. Looks like a bug in HTC firmware, but this workaround works not only for music files... Don't ask me how and why, no idea.

Thanks for your reply, but my computer cannot see my phone as mass storage device. Unless there is an option for that.

I had the same problem. I had to transfer all the music, pics and vides to a sdcard, put it to my older N7000 and used HTC transfer tool (get it from google play). Also, I wanted to transfer few wallpapers from my pc to One. I did it using HTC sync manager and it worked. Maybe, you should try using desktop sync manager before trying the transfer tool app.

Just a quick question boys n girls,
Have you got patter lock or password activated?
It wont let you read the device till its unlocked (on connection to your pc)
As for the music not showing, I've had the same issue.
I downloaded a load of my old music directly to phone, moved it all to keep it all in my music folder, all vanished out of stock music app....
I've seen people saying its a media scanner issue, but turning off and on should force it to scan again, but still wouldn't update.
I think its stored as a cache some where, had the same issue on HD2's. When you wiped the folder with "short cuts to music",
The phone would re scan and re populate with new shortcuts to the same place.
Still looking for the this "cache" folder lol. in the mean time, I just moved my music back to the downloaded folder, boom, and its back in the music app.

Has anybody found an answer to this?
Before the 1.29 update it worked fine. . . Now ive updated i got this issue. Grrrr.....

I ended up moving all files to my pc, dragging them into Windows media player and syncing up using Wmp. HTC sync manager is a joke IMO. I did this for both music and pictures and they all show up now in music and gallery apps. Assuming it's a bug for the app to not just recognize these folders automatically.
You could try deleting the cache of the media storage app in system settings>apps>all.. but be careful with this as it could cause issues with your ringtones and notifications..
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

I just dont get it though because it was fine before update. . . I dont use Sync Managers, WMP or HTC... lol... i add files manualy via Explorer and Mass Storage etc... Really Strange. . .
Tried that and didnt work, just performed a factory reset, will see if that works....

I did this and it worked, but every time i want to transfer files via es explorer between my nas and my phone i must delete the cache and reboot. This is not a permanent solution and htc must do something. It's really annoying every time i want to transfer music to connect my phone via usb.

I fectory reset my phone and A-OK! All works fine now. . . Bit Bizarre! Unless some something in my storage or an app colided with it, i couldnt tell ya!

It is weird - I know when I had my first One, I used HTC transfer utility for the initial transfer of files, and I was able to get new files to show up.. But when I exchanged the phone I used my PC to transfer files to the 2nd One, and can't get it to see new files.
I really don't want to be tied to a PC for sync'ing just to use the stock music player. I can confirm that Power Amp does see all music files.

so you did a full factory reset (wiping data/pictures)? And once completed, manually dragged the files into the /sdcard/music folder and /sdcard/DCIM folder?

Yes the above works but what if you want to use a file explorer app to copy music wirelessly from e.g. a NAS to your music folder? I did it and it didn't work. To see the files i must connect my phone via USB to my pc. My Note II and Xperia Z refreshed the music library every time the folder music changed wirelessly or not.

Hi, i have a lot of old files that i transfered to my note 5 but nothing shows in the stock gallery, only new videos or photos, didnt had that problem with note4, any solution?
Tnx

Try using a file Explorer and moving files that aren't detected to a new folder on the phone and restart ...it might help... but if u are talking about pics from whatsapp or something it might not work.. I have no idea why

well i found the problem....i had a .nomedia folder in the internal memory, in the root entry and that bloqued all media scanning.
