Orange M3100 seems to corrupt storage card (Media Player)

Weird, This is the 2nd device I've had and both do this...
I sync music to the card, Media Centre picks the music up, but then after a reset it all goes wrong:
The next time I start MC, it doesn't even see the storage card (in the Library). Updating the library, it finds the tracks but seems to hang while adding them. Meanwhile, the free storage on the card goes down... and down... and down until there's none left. MC then says "can't add the tracks" and gives up.
Anyone else having this trouble, or am I incredibly unlucky?!
Ferg.

I have the same issue on my TyTN...
really frustrating but I found a workaround: browse the storage and delete the hidden folder MSMETADATA, then try to update media player library.
You won't find such folder using the file explorer provided with WM5: you must use an enhanced file explorer such as Resco one in order to view hidden and system files.

I have the same problem but I will try deleting that files to see if it helps.

That seems to work Nic, nice one.
I'm sure I remember doing this before with no success, but my memory is obviously playing tricks.
ferg.

I also have the same problem. It is very annoying...
However, if you go to the Library screen, then Menu > Open File and navigate to storage card > playlists, you can open any of your playlists...
Not ideal but it works.

I removed that file and it works fine now, jusy hope is stays the same for a few days.

Yeah, I've had the same problem too and I've tried all the various things suggested with limited success. The only surefire solution I've encountered is to copy all my important folders from the storage card to my desktop - minus any of the media files/folders and the msmeta data files, using resco, reformat the storage card, replace all the files from the desktop, resync and then synchronise he music through wm player again.
What a pain!

[Q]Stock Gallery app questions

Hi,
I've wondering few things about the stock Gallery app:
1) I've tried browsing pix from SD /mSD , but I had to open it, close it, open next etc etc. Is there a way to have a decent browsing from it ? i.e. be able to slide between pix (besides copying the pix in the picture folder)
2) is it possible to stream via DLNA the pix ? Is the DLNA pkg from ASUS needed is that case ?
Thanks

Try to use myNET app and share your content anywhere in DLNA network in your home
P.S I have NMT POPCORN A-110 and see everything in my Transformer

1.) I have all my pics on the microSd. Gallery has no issue with seeing them. It also sees all my videos too. Then I can see them side-by-side and slide thru one-by-one.
Make sure you don't have a ".nomedia" file in those folders (use that to hide your "private" stuffs). May need to delete Gallery's cache if having problem.
2.) answered already.

Well, I'm pretty sure there was no ".nomedia" file on the cards. I just couldn't "swipe" between each pic :/
Also, how can I wipe the gallery cache ?

To wipe cache, goto Settings ----> Application ----> All ---> Gallery ---> ....

[Q] Deleted 6gb video, didnt free up memory

I deleted a video via mx player, didnt free up any memory, been searching the tablet to find where its living now. is there a trash folder somewhere that needs clearing? or will it delete as soon as its needed? i have 3 gb left and i should have 9 or 10. any advise?

You can download an app called DiskUsage. It breaks down where data is being stored on your device. You should be able to locate where the memory is being held up.

Thanks! as soon as i ran the app, it discovered that the video has been deleted and started to indicate that I have 9.8gb free.

Sometimes when you delete files using the MX Player delete... the disk space doesn't show up until a reboot... or use app manager to kill the settings app so it has to refresh all its values... I delete videos sometimes but they still show in my gallery until I reboot ... but they are just thumbnails and they won't play

Gallery app doesn't show .jpg files, but .JPG

Hello everyone,
I am using G900F with Lolipop. I have realized that my saved photos from the web, which have .jpg extension, are not shown in the Gallery app. However, they do when I use ES File Explorer to rename the extension from .jpg to .JPG (upper case). In the mean time QuickPic shows both types just fine.
I love using stock apps, so I don't want to switch to 3rd party app like QuickPic. Does anyone have the same problem? How do you fix that? I would be grateful to know

first try to clear data of your gallery app and media storage .
or try to factory reset your phone it may works

Does clearing media storage clean up my data in internal storage (I have no SD card)? Just tried clean data of Gallery app but no difference noticed
Update: Did clear cache/data of Gallery app and Media Storage. After a reboot it showed the newly saved picture without the need to change extension. However, I tested by saving another picture, and it was still not automatically shown in Gallery I doubt a factory reset would do anything different >.<

Cannot see my media in Gallery

Hi everyone. Recently I saw my battery drains due to IndexService, and when I check internet one of the suggestion was to put .nomedia file to folders where there is no media file inside, so the battery usage of service will be reduced. When I try to do it made a mistake. When I copy .nomedia file accidentally I paste it to internal storage. Directly after that I deleted it. But now in my gallery all the photos in internal storage is not there anymore. From explorer applications I can see that all photos are still okay. But cannot find what is the reason for not getting my photos in gallery. BTW, not only gallery all other apps, photo editors or social media apps cannot access to the photos as well, but only file managers. Any tip will be appreciated. Thanks

Strange, my only suggestion would be to add another photo to the folder and reboot.
Hopefully that will force an update.

Thanks for your time and help
What you suggest partly worked. Means new photo I put into the folder was seen in the gallery but not the old ones.
