HELLO XDA ,
To save internal memory I have all my music / videos on an usb pendrive that I plugin when needed . But the problem with that is Samsung's native music player does not recognise them and I have to manually change the songs one by one . Would like to know if there is any way i can avoid doing it and enjoy my music without worrying about changing it manually
Note : i tried stick mount and Usb otg helper which does not solve my issue .
Thanks and Regards

I have the same issue as you. I have videos and images on my flash memory that I would like to edit using my favourite video and photo editor, but I can't because they are not available in the gallery app. I tried folder mount app but I got in a boot loop. Any suggestions?

You both can try media-re scanner apps available on play store after plugging Usb storage via otg..It will help to rescan media on you device which will later include media stored on your external flash storage after scanning to the native gallery or music player apps
Wow that actually works!!
Thank you.:good:

Hi,
I recorded video with my galaxy s and after 15min of recording i accidentally touched the back button on my phone. Recording stopped immediately but video file wasn't saved anywhere. Is there any way to find that video file anymore or is it gone forever. I think there must be some kind of temp file of that video somewhere in my phone but i can't find it.
This video is very important to me so any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Connect your phone in USB mass storage mode and search but i think you have no chance .

i think android recording method is stupid ..
not only you have to push the "stop" button' but also then choose "save".
i have lost many precious videos beacuse of that.
I tried mass storage mode and several recovery programs but they didn't find right video. I think that maybe unsaved videos could be found in phone system folders but only memory cards are showing in USB mass storage mode. Any ideas how to search from system folders?

I have searched the threads multiple times and always got only temporary answers.
I have had ppl tell me to CLEAR DATA under the apps --> Media storage.
It looks good after immediate bootup, but after 1 hr everything is now double or even triple.
Also the music files play only within a 30 minute timeframe, after that it only says "Can't play the track you requested"
Can anyone give me a permanent solution to this problem??
I am presently using ICS Stunner 1.4.26.1
Are you using the stock player? I've had this problem myself and i noticed that some temporary files were saved on my internal storage (with the music on my external). After i set my music folder as the default music folder it stopped duplicating everything. I haven't bothered to look for the duplicates, so i'm not sure where they're hiding at.

make sure that the mount points in kernel are correct. Do you have your camera pics saved in internal or external storage?

How about the music files? They are also on the internal

Well. No one has a solution or fix for this ??
Yeah i really need help with this as well.
Any chance you are on speedmod? I had this problem as well. I think it's because in speedmod internal and external SD are switched.
Just got the phone and I'm digging my way through it but I've found that for some reason my music and video files are not being seen by the phone.
Photographs are fine, but I see no obvious way of forcing the walkman and movie apps to scan my SD card. The files are still there and I've tried unmounting/remounting but I'm not having much luck.
Has anyone else experienced this? I tried to search but only saw reports of skipping tracks etc.
Edit: I've come from a Galaxy S3 and the card was formatted on that phone - could it be a slightly different file organisation system? I hope I don't have to reformat!
I understood the media server will scan for files if you:
- Add new media to the SD card and unplug USB cable.
- When you power cycle the device.
If all this fails maybe try an app like "Rescan Media":
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-addz-mediascanner-jtDAw.aspx
Rescan Media is a simple app will rescan your mobile phone for new files that usually happens on a system re-boot.
It only calls the android media scanner.
Kind regards, Stefan.
You can also delete android folder from the sd and reboot.

Thanks guys. Oddly enough I'm now seeing my files. It seemed to just happen! When I rebooted and used usb, nothing happened. Then out of the blue it just does it, unexplainable! That app looks handy though
can't find the media
Same to me. I can find any mp3 or mp4 file that i have in sdcard in my walkman, Still can see it through file explore. How can I fix it? Tried media scan app, flash new app, wipe anything... but still can't see anything in the damn screen.
Please help me! You can send email for me: [email protected]
Hi,
is there a way to control the Rom media scanner - better than ".nomedia files in directory"
The Problem is if you have a lot of Media Files on the SD Card (e.g. > 10000) the Scanner had a lot of work to index that. So far ok.
But every time you load/unload the SD Card or plug in the USB Cable to the PC for "Storage Usage" the scanner begin to rescann the whole files.
This need so much time and until the scan is complete your Media Library in't ready to listen the musik
Any Suggestions?
I really can understand you., I had the same problem with all LG ICS ROMs and it really sucked. Really..
The only solution I found was to switch to CM based ROM. It fixes that and a huge amount of bugs LG did.

May I have to do that.
For now I have a workaround that works for me.
1. Put all music files in one sd card directory
2. Disable media Scan only for this directory with ".nomedia". You can use a app like "StudioKUMA.nomedia" to do that
3. Use an alternative Media Player that not use the Media Database.. e.g. FileBased MediaPlayer like "Musik Folder Player"
The bad part on this is you lose the option to control the music via the LG LockScreen.

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.
