Hi guyz!
I have a galaxy mini (stock)
My music player app (stock) does not get auto-updated and as you may know there is no way of refreshing the list or updating it manually.
Whenever I add or delete my songs in the device the music app does not show the added ones nor remove the deleted ones :banghead: :crying:
I have to play them all from my folder and they can't be played in background therefore causing me loads of problem
And the same goes with my picture gallery (gallery ics).
I have searched a lot for solutions but found none of them working except of ofcourse reflashing ..
But I don't want to reflash.
So plzzzzz if you guyz know any work around then tell me plz :crying:
Note: the songs and pics are in the external sd card..

Something wrong with the media scanner. I cannot point out what.....
I think its better you flash it.
Send from Batman's Bat- Phone
try this,
clear data and cache of the music app and gallery..
and from /sdcard/DCIM folder delete ".thumbnails" folder...
and then launch gallery..
it will take a bit more time to display all pics as it will generate thumbnails of all pics...

Hi guyz,
I've got a.prob with my gallery app which is going serious day by day...
Let me explain with an example -
I snapped a pic A and B
Now i want to.delete A and keep B
I deleted A and now i open camera again to snap a pic C,
When i open gallery, in thumbnails, i can see pic C, but as i open it, it becomes the hi-resolution cache ofpic A(which I've deleted, but cache img persisted)
It happens now with more than 20% of my newly snapped pics,...
If i delete the /sd/android/cooliris media folder and .thumbnails folder, everypic shows up good, but after sometime, the problem bounces back :banghead::banghead:
Please someone guide me what should i do to resolve this problem...
Had it once in.my xperia Neo, but i solved it using quickpic apk which is way boring than CM gallery and can't play 1080p video

I faced the same problem some time ago... I didn't realise early that it was a thumbnail issue and I deleted some pics I wanted...
In my case I deleted cooliris media folder and every .thumbnails folder found in internal and sd.
After that all seems to be ok ...

Hi, Just wondering how do I exclude particular folder like cache folder or whatsapp picture folder from showing up in defaulted album? Before ice cream sandwich I can just put a .nomedia file to the folder that I don't want to show up but this doesn't seem working on ice cream sandwich. Please help. Thanks.
Download nomedia app from the market. Then you put a .nomedia file in each folder you do not want the media scanner to scan
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Or skip the nomedia app and just create a file with the filename .nomedia (with the preceding full stop) in whichever folders you want to skip indexing.
You might need to reboot your phone or reset and re-index the media database by going to Settings, Apps (All), Media Storage and clearing the existing data. (The phone will need to be rebooted after clearing the database.)

Works Perfect

Are there any apps available to run the media storage clearing and rescan? At the moment I am regularly clearing this data and using the rescan root app from market but would like this all in one process without the need to hunt through the settings. It's annoying that as new files are added to these folders with .nomedia the still appear in album unless I clear the data and rescan media.

Not that I know of. There are media rescan apps but they are largely hit and miss in my experience.
As I said above, you can do it by wiping your existing media database and then rebooting your phone. Not ideal but gets the job done.
How about this app...

Good for hiding p0rn from your girlfriend, not any good for getting your phone to rescan your media.

Oh, and that's not an endorsement by the way - just based on reading the app description.
I haven't used the app so couldn't comment!
Tried it..lol

".nomedia" also prevents audio files from being scanned... any solution to prevent only images from certain locations to be shown? I have a lot of album artwork stored with in my music collection and it keeps showing up in the gallery...
thank you in advance for any suggestion

lol, Use mp3tag to embedd the albu art inside the mp3 file and then delete the extra files. I had a similar problem a long time ago and with this program it took me about 15 minutes to embedd them all (Dead easy to do) then you can delete the album art...

Yep... right... I already have embedded album art in mp3 files... but at the same time I have same files (and some extra ones) in the folder... sometimes it's more convenient to have them handy...
I think I will delete all graphics files from my music folder after copying the music to my phone... that's probably easiest solution...
Thank you anyway...

After updating to xxlsa, my music player duplicates the files on my external sdcard. Any fix on this?
vaporized from ma NOTE
I have tried unmounting my sdcard, clearing data for media storage and music player but yet no changes. Any help will be appreciated.

hi, it's strange ..
I am still with LS7, I have not tested yet.
but I had a similar problem with ics, it was infact google music and its cache ..
test reading your duplicate songs with the stock player, if the duplicate song will not open, it is almost certain that it comes from gMUSIC ...
Otherwise, if you're on they are copied to your external sd, have you tried to delete, reboot and see if you still have the problem?
ps: you're not in the right section, here is themes and applications

Yeah. On ICS I had same problem but the duplicate didn't work. But unmounting sdcard and clearing data for media storage solved the problem. But on XXLSA both the duplicate and original are playing just fine.
Edit: I deleted one of the duplicated media files and it rendered the other useless, i.e. the music player could not play it.

I am on lsa and i dont have any such problem
And i even have google music installed
Sony's album application does not show photos and videos from the sd card.
It did at the beginning but when i formated the sd card and re-copied some folders with photos/videos.... they dont show with "album"
Any solution? and any good alternative to "Sony Album"?
Use an album app grabber from play store, they work nicely. I have 3 different ones installed though as they some seem to be able to find better quality pics than others or those that are rarer art to find too. My favourite/main one I use is 'cover art grabber'.
FIXED!!!
Seems that clearing the application's cache through /setings/applications etc does the trick!

The same goes for Walkman app when it sometimes won't add new music from sd card.
Does not work for me . Formated my sd card and changed the folders a bit . Now the album shows those " mountain images " ( like the file was deleted or corupt ) . Cleared cache , data and forced stop twice . Still nothing . Any ideeas ?
Settings. Apps. All. Media Storage. Clear all data. Reboot. If you have root explorer open photo folder and any random pic. Open any music file. Close app and wait for a while. Hope that helps. It was a fix for HTC OneX.

I just tested on xz and it works. Best to open a picture and a music file in file explorer first to kick start it.

nope still nothing i did previously freez MHL , mirrorlink and startupflagservice with gemini AND installed rescan media root ( to disable mediaserver ) BUT i re-enabled mediaserver and uninstalled the program and did unfreeze the sistem apps . rebooted twice , unmounted sd , took photos wich are saved to internal memory , opened both pictures and music on my album\ walkman apps. still nothing... Media storage has now 608 Kb vs 604 kb ( about 1 hour ago ) vs 15 mb or so ( before clear ) . I do have root and stock firmarware. Any ideas, tips ? am i doing something wrong ?
Wheel ok... I found the problem... I had previously copied the data via a SD adapter ( much faster) and the album and Walkman could not see anything on the stick. Funny thing is that when I plugged my phone via cable with de sd inside, windows showed it empty.... Weird. Anyway, copied everything back via phone with sd inside and everything ok now! Thanks!

Try using a file explorer to see if they're there. Phone should recognize them , but sometimes, expecially if you put a large amount of ppics and music files, it takes some minutes

I've checked , they are there , when I download images from Google drive still I don't see them , I have so take screen shot of the pic to send to anyone , and also no music appearing in Walkman, only the old one , no new music is being detected
- the best way is transferring media files thru MTP.
- u can try SD / media scanner app from Google Play
- the last resort is to clear 'Media Storage' data thru settings > app & reboot. u may need to reonfigure ringtones, etc.
