Just try renaming the folder in which your all files are present, and rename it to back i you don't wanna change the folder name. This will work or else try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.house.noranuko.mediarescanner this will start the media scanner if it wasn't running before and force close media scanner from settings once all your files are displayed or else the media scanner would be running and consume all your battery.

I can access the storage card through the File Explorer, but Windows Media Player stopped showing the storage card option in the library page. Weird, and annoying. I can only access my storage card song files through File Explorer. Can anyone help?
This has come up a few times in different threads.
Open File Explorer in wm5
Select Show all files from the options
Go to your storage card
Delete the file called METADATA
Open media player
Update the library as you usually do and the storage card should re-appear
You might need to do this from time to time. Most people do
careful with that camera eugene
I discovered that if I stop my music (not pause) and close (exit so that it is no longer running in the background) wmp before starting the camera app that I don't lose my library on the storage card anymore.
if you poke around in the registry, a few things in the camera app are interesting here. there is a coexistwithwmp item, which is set to false. this causes the camera app to kill wmp. there are also some timers to shut down wmp. I think these are the culprit but I haven't had time to prove it. maybe someone on the forum has fewer kids....

Craig, that solved my problem. I can finally stop wrenching my head over this.

I tried this on my 8125, but it didn't work. Is an 8125 differant than a 8585 for this problem?
To be clear, when you say "open media player" then "update the library...", you mean the PC based Windows Media Player 11, right?
Any insight on this issue would be most appreciated, as always.

Update media player on 8585.

I posted a solution in the Excalibur forum for this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298971
So like i said in the title, i used the app SDRescan to force my phone to rescan media because i found that the gallery app was not automatically refreshing when i added new media to the phone.
I ran the app and a couple minutes later it finishes. Turns out it deleted ALL the phones videos (luckily no pictures). But the problem im having now is that the gallery app is not detecting any media on my phone. There are still pictures, and i readded a lot of my videos back, but the app is showing no media on the phone
I force closed the app, cleared it's data etc. I even formated my sd and put the files back on. Still it shows i have no media.
I thought about taking a new picture with the camera to see what would happen then, and guess what, now it shows i have 1 picture in the gallery. Is there a way i can get the gallery to see the other 1000 pictures i have taken? And all my videos?
edit: i downloaded the stock android gallery app but its the same in that app too. So it's not just HTC's app. Somehow android isnt recognizing my old media.
anybody? this is really killing me.
edit: did a factory reset and the problem persists What's have i done!
hmmmm this is an interesting one. ive had this before but i couldnt remember how i fixed it ...
what ROM are you using, or are you stock ?
SDRescan did nothing to your phone. Your are having problems with the stock Android Media Scanner in your phone. SDRescan does nothing else but notifies the Media Scanner to do it's job on demand, instead of on-boot or SD card mount. That's all it does.
So in short you are having problems with Android Media Scanner, try to look around in this area. I seen few reports on internet when media scanner deleted some files.

I figured the problem lies with the media scanner so I went into Settings > Manage Applications > Media Storage > clear data... but nothing changes.

Isn't this your problem ?
I did have a .nomedia folder on my phone with some videos in and those were deleted. But also the videos in my DCIM folder were deleted. However im over that, my problem is that media scanner isnt picking any media.
I thought i would try another microsd card i had in my sister's mp3 player, and believe it or not android picked up the media. So somehow i think this SDRescan app damaged my sc card..
No, it didn't. Media Scanner has separate databases for each and every SD card. So it's the database for your old SD card which doesn't work, when you put in a new card a new indexing database was created for the ID of your new SD card.
This has happened to me a few times, all i do is find the file using "ES File Explorer" then select to open it with the default video player and it gets added to my library of videos
It's easy to do for a couple of vids, but not really practical if you've got like 10+

i see. but this index, is it not stored on the phone memory? because a factory reset still hasn't solved the problem. I also formatted the sd card, so shouldn't the phone recognize it as a new memory card then?

It should. You don't have by any chance .nomedia file in root folder of the SD card, right ?

I do. I'll try delete it and see if that helps
Edit: nope
You deleted it and what did you do next ? Did you started SDRescan or rebooted your phone ? Until the Media Scanner kicks in, there won't be any change.
The point is :
1) if you had a folder with data and then added the .nomedia file to it, then unfortunately thanks to the inner workings of the media scanner the file gets deleted instead of only removing the reference from database
2) the card will get indexed again only at boot, SD card insertion or when you execute apps like SDRescan which start the Media scanner manually.
yes! it works now!! thanks for all your help faugusztin!!
after i deleted the the .nomedia folder i did a restart and the problem persisted, but now (like two hours later) i just thought i would go and check the gallery app again and low and behold all my media appeared. Maybe the media scanner didnt finish or something idk. But im happy now
But i was under the impression that the .nomedia trick only blocks media from within that folder? Why was it blocking all my media?
Anyway thanks for all your help mate. really appreciated.
It does index, but it takes time.
It block media from that folder - and all subfolders. It is a sign which says "nothing to see there" - that includes the subfolders of that folder too. Since you had the file in root folder of the card, it didn't indexed anything.
I was too late...glad you got it sorted supreme.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Just found out this particular problem a few days back. When I add new pictures or music to my tablet either in the tablet or the external SD card, it is not showing up in the gallery or the music player. The files however are there when i use a file explorer to view them. The images can be opened with the gallery or any other image app. Music files can be browsed using a file explorer and played with the stock music player or any other music player app. But it just doesn't show up in the gallery or Music player list.
I've tried refreshing the music library, have formatted my SD card but to no avail. Someone suggested to delete the .no media extension from the music player file, but that didn't helped too.
Any suggestions to this problem?
I had the same problem. You can try to delete the cache in settings/apps this should help.
However I found out the stock gallery sometimes takes VERY long to update pics on sd card. By very I am talking about probably hours.
Other gallery apps like "QuickPic" don't have that problem. You can try if quickpic works while stock gallery does not, then it is caused by the mentioned problem.

I tried deleting the cache, but it didn't work. So I flashed my device with the original stock rom. Only then was I able to get back everything. Thanks a lot for suggesting quickpix though. It's a wonderful app.
Try media fix from the market
I use fastreboot program, so that the gallery will refresh, OR you can try, go to settings>applications>manage applications>all then search for the gallery then tap on FORCE Stop, then try to open the gallery again, this should initiate the media scan. if all else fails, use quickpic app for pictures
If you have any trouble with media not showing up, clear the Media Storage data. Settings -> Applications -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data. It'll rescan everything properly after that.
Check for any hidden files called NOMEDIA
if put in a folder (no extension) the folder will not be indexed.
Useful if you dont want all the icons of an app indexed.

There is or are corrupt music or video files on the device that force mediascanner too keep scanning because they cannot be recognized or filed.
You could try installing startup manger (or some similar app) to disable mediascanning at boot and Rescan Media Root to enable mediascanning if needed.
Both are in Play.

It works for me. i'm at 92% battery remaining after 14hrs of standy by (with wifi) now. :good: I've also launched Google Play music and Gallery just to see if it will actually kill it when not in use.
The media server used to take my battery 20% out only after 2-3 hours of stand by.
try it out
Doesn't have any solution ? I have tried delete all my media file (mp3, video, picture,...) and delete all storage but it still scan .When i reboot , it stop scanning but if i take a picture by camera , it scans again

Requirements: Rooted phone WITH init.d support
How to install init.d support
Then use this media_kill zip file and the media server process will be killed every hour (it will not pause music, just kill when there is nothing playing).
And this will solve your problem... I've had it too with corrupt files etc...
Good luck!

i am using PA and Franco kernel , it enabled int.d script . I also flashed this file but it doesn't effect
Weird. Worked for me.. Do note that it only does this once every hour so you can still have the wakelocks just not as long.
Sorry that was my two cents
Media Scanner drains your battery becasuse youve either just downloaded a photo, copied music onto your device or videos, movies etc. so it keeps trying to scan them and think its corrupt.. kinda
so to overcome this, download this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clypher.mediascanner
what you do is after copying or downloading any media file onto your device, open that app and refresh....
or better still add its widget to your homescreen and just tap.
This way, it refreshes your media library and media scanner wont deplete battery..
OR.. just reboot your phone.. but that app is way better than rebooting your phone all the time you add new media files to it.

I always just thought playing music just required lots of battery. I will see if this helps.
I had some pictures on my external sd that I didn't want showing up in the gallery, so I created a "temp" folder with a .nomedia file in it, and moved those pictures into it. The gallery was working as expected, with just those pictures absent. I removed the sd card to plug into my laptop to transfer those pictures. After inserting the sd card back into the phone, my pictures don't show up in the gallery, and my music doesn't show up in the stock music player. But all the files are there when I look in es explorer. After thinking the .nomedia file was the problem, I deleted the "temp" folder previously created that had that file in it, but I still have the problem. I restarted the phone, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That actually made it WORSE (don't worry, I'm not blaming you). In any file manager (even stock), I can see that all my pictures exist where they've always been. Even the pictures from the camera. However, the gallery is COMPLETELY EMPTY. I can take new pictures, and they'll show up in the gallery. So everything before today (December 12, 2014) simply won't show up in the gallery. Wtf?
Restarting media worked for me with my image downloads to internal storage. IT WAS PISSING ME OFF. Works for now, pics that weren't showing in the gallery now do. Downloaded a few images and all have been showing. Considering the S5 was the first Samsung phone I've had since the Transform I was doing a bit of SMH when it came to this issue. Good phone so far besides that issue.
