[Q] Small problem with MIUI - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, recently installed miui on my N4 and I've got a small ptoblem:
The music player isn't reading any of my music on the storage and the file explorer isn't showing how many songs,videos,photos etc I have on the phone.
This problem also ocurred on my s2 with some miui versions but I couldnt find a solution..
Any suggestions?

Search for gallery refresh in the play store. That should solve your problem.

That didn't work but I used media scanner and everything is fine now. I guess the media scanner is bugged or broken.

You may have gotten a bad ROM flash.

album art not showing up

how can i make my album art show up for mp3's in play music? these are files that I've ripped on my own, not ones purchased through the play store.
I've got albumart.jpg's in the album folders, but they don't show up in the music app. This method worked fine using the HTC music app on my old One S.
Just use iTunes, and add the Album Art that way. Works perfectly fine for me.

Or if you're using Google Music, you can easily search for an album image on your computer and set it through their web interface.
Try renaming the files to folder.jpg. Or embed the artwork in each MP3 (I do this and it works fine with Google Music).
Unfortunately none of those methods worked for me so I remembered the old trick of clearing data from the app and that did it, at least for all but a couple stubborn albums.

[Q] Google Music Offline Location

Hi Guys,
I have searched the forum for possible answers to my problem, but couldn't find any satisfing answer.
I have uploaded all my music to Google Music, but as I only have 1GB of mobile data in my plan, and no WiFi at work, I decided to save some of my albums on my internal storage, so I can play it offline.
There is an option called "Choose on device music" which when you choose it, saves the files to make them available offline, but the problem is I can't find it anywhere on my device.
I have found possible locations in Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache - this is what google search gave me, but there is nothing in that folder. I have used the ES File Explorer with root roghts, as I thought, maybe its hidden somehow, but the result was exactly the same.
Could anyone pleas help me and tell me where the music stored from Google Music is located? And how does it exactly work? Does it simply download all the files you choose to your storage?
My temporary solution was just simply copying the music from my laptop using the USB cable.
Thanks in advance.
When you pin it to your device you play it right from the Google play music app. There is an option for on device music only in the settings menu, use this when you want to see your downloaded music.

Yes,I know that, but my problem is, I'd I make it available offline then I need to wait for it to download and I'm wondering what it's the location of the downloaded files, because the one that I mentioned in the OP doesn't seem to be right.I'm also suffering it's the music made available offline takes as much since on the device as the same music chipped straight from my pc.

What exactly are you wanting to do? I guess I don't understand why you need to know where its stored. I'm not trying to be a wise guy.

check this path. And musics are randomly numbered.

I would like to remove it when not needed anymore and also other music players can't find those stored albums.

Audio files undetectable

Hi all,
Nexus 4 is running on Lollipop 5.1.1 stock.
For the longest time, audio files are not detected by any of the music players be it Play Music or any third party apps.
Since I have ton of data on my phone I cannot format it either to install a new rom.
Streaming songs over YouTube or music apps works flawlessly just cannot play the MP3 files on my phone.
Any suggestions to rectify it will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Are the files visible when connected to your computer or through an app such as ES File Explorer?
Yes, they are visible. I can play them individually but a music app doesn't detect them.

I don't have an answer but suggest trying some new app like Rocket player. Library info will be rebuild from scratch so may be that'll solve it

Take this with a grain of salt, but I think you can try wiping data of the "media storage" app in settings and rebooting. This will force the system to rebuild the media database. I remember reading this a few years ago when I had the same issue and this solved it. If there is anyway for you to make a nandroid or something, I would advise it in case it causes Android to stop finding your media all together.

Video players and file managers issue

Hi everyone,
I'm a new user of Xiaomi phones, I had a Mi 9T three weeks ago and I having this problem since then, even after the android 10 and MIUI 11 updates.
Video players (I tried many) closes after ending play the first video in a folder (I also, tried many file managers). It only works if I play it in the video player app itself, but I want to play them from a file manager instead. Does anyone know how can I fix it?
I'll really appreciate your help,
Thanks

I'm using Mx Player and it sort videos by folders, like the file manager...

Yeah I'm using it and I think is the best video player, but it's really annoying the tons of adds when you navigate in the app
The thing is that in my previous phone (a very old moto G3) I never had this problem, idk if there is a configuration that I'm missing or is just a common bug in MIUI
Anyway, thanks a lot Welder

You can always find a modded version of MX Player which doesn't show ads

Try using 'better open with' from the store, I had this problem and now I can open video files from my file browser.

It doesn't work for me, it doesn't set it like a default player and just keep closing after each video (with any video player, even the stock player)
I think I'm just gonna reset everything hoping it's just a bug in my phone
And if is not, I'll try a no-adds version of mx player
Thanks everyone:highfive:
