I updated to Lollipop in order to try the xposed stuff but got a bootloop/soft brick. So I odined back to kitkat stock, rooted again, reinstalled safestrap, and flashed my recovery rom. Everything seemed to be back to normal, but VLC is not showing any media files when I open it. It just says "No Media Files Found" when I choose Video or Audio. When I manually search the directories in VLC, I can find media files, both audio and video, and both play when I click them. It seems weird that VLC would play the files but not be able to see them for the main screen list.
I've now reloaded the recovery rom for a second time and wiped the cache partition in recovery. I also uninstalled and reinstalled VLC and cleared its data and cache once I rebooted. No joy. VLC is currenly installed on my internal memory, though it was doing the same thing installed on my SD card before I un/reinstalled. Any suggestions of what I should do next?
Edit: Forgot to say, I'm on standard Touchwiz rom, only thing custom about it that it's rooted and debloated, but it was like that before, when VLC worked.

Try searching your root folder and sd card for a .nomedia file. If you find any, delete them.
Worked perfectly. VLC shows all media files on the main screen now. I'm guessing there's no problem with me deleting so many files? There were around 60 total on the sd card and in the root folder.

That's a lot but it shouldn't hurt anything.

I'm using DarchDroid 2.7. I didn't have this problem on Fresh, so sorry if this is the wrong place to post.
After I transfer files, none of my music apps show the new files I transferred. The files are displayed in the file explorer, but not in any music app. I tried remounting the SD card and rebooting, but still had no success. I even manually scanned with MixZing, but that didn't work either.

i have had this happen to me...reformat card and works fine
just for the hell of it, reboot into recovery and go to other, then fix uid permissions, let it run, and then try... I've used darch droid for a while and it finding music has never been an issue.
I flash CM7 ARC(AfterRC)Nightly 13
but all my pic,music,video in SD
doesn't show in gallery,Music Player,Video Player
I have darktremor cache&data 2sd
and I set it is VISIBLE to these player in file manager
What did I do to show my pics?
I want stock player and my dalvik 2sd
thank in advance
P.S. Gallery shows the picture shotted after flashing
Try clearing the application cache by going to settings > applications > all. Find Gallery and Music Player, clear their cache's, and try if it builds the library again.
it does not work though
still nothing?
Have you tried rebooting? Unmounting then remounting the SD card? Alternative galleries/music players?
I've try many times, it does not work
and i DONT want alternative players
Just try creating a new folder on your SD and moving the media files there. May just work. (Atleast it did for me for my Mp3 Files. Initially, it wouldn;t recognize them, no matter what I did, but, I moved them to a new folder, then, cleared cache, and, restarted music player, and it detected all the files successfully)
If this still doesnt work, I am out of ideas, sorry.
I have used the same SD card through several HTC phones (Evo 4g, Evo Shift, and Evo 3d) and all of my content is on it. I have had my S4 since opening weekend, and had it rooted about a month later. I have been using TriForce Rom 3.1 for about 6 weeks now.
For about 2 weeks, everything worked just fine. Then one day, I noticed that all of my pics and albums disappeared from Gallery. All of my music and playlists disappeared from the Music app. All of my downloaded ringtones disappeared from the list. When I use ES Explorer or Root Explorer all of the content is there inside the correct folders in /mnt/ExtSdCardHere is what all I have tried...
1. Unmount and re-mount SD Card
2. Fix permissions via TWRP
3. Move items from ExtSdcard to sdcard (this works for all media, but i don't accept this as the only solution. There has to be a better way)
4. Scour ExtSdCard for .nomedia (it is nowhere to be found)
5. Download different apps. Rocket Player can find all of the music, but I have yet to find a Gallery app that will find them all. (once again, there has to be a better way)
6. Clear data and cache of the offending apps in Application manager.
7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik from recovery.
The other wierd thing is that in the native music app I have a single album named "Kernel" with a bunch of "songs" like 2x, 5x, 6, Air, Binaural, Binaural2, Blackface Deluxe
Any help here would be appreciated. I have no idea if this is a Rom issue or not. I'll try to get UnknownForce to look at this thread just in case.
Maybe go into settings, then far right tab, then... I forgot what it's called. In application manager, you can clear the cache of each program that isn't behaving and it might rebuild the cache. In recovery, you could wipe cache and dalvik so it would rebuild everything. As for another gallery program, I've always used quickpic. Could it be that the media files got corrupted?

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them both, and no luck. I added them to the list above. As for corrupted files, wouldn't that mean that I couldn't view them at all? I can open them through Root Explorer as well as by putting the SD card into the computer. However, when I connect via USB the only folder that I see on the SD card is DCIM
Problem solved! (at least temporarily)
I did a clean install of the Rom and everything seems to be working fine. I guess that I messed with something on accident.
Yeah that's a good possibility. Fresh full installs are the best way to go.
Hello, I've just bought an used i9505. As it was an italian version and I live in France, I flashed via ODIN the latest 4.4.2 official.
As this is nearly my 10th android smartphone and I have always used custom roms, I wanted to try the "original" Samsung ROM.
But I faced this issue : same mp3, when on sd card (in Music directory) are not recognized by the build in audio player.
So I decided to download and try some players from the playstore.
The only 2 ones that can see my mp3 are n7 (but refuse to play some formats like .ape with free version) and "audio player" (from Mobile_V5).
Same files, when are copied to internal Music directory are seen.
The SDXC card (Samsung 64 GB UHS-1) is recognized by the device, when I put files on it, I can see/add/move/delete from a file manager (mine is X-plore).
I've also tried several apps from the store that propose to rescan the SD card, and didn't help.
So, if you can tell me more about this problem please ?
Try formatting your sdcard. In the past this worked for me to get passed strange problems like this.

Sorry, I forgot to write it, but I did after I have moved the mp3 files. I've decided to try custom roms, so started by root my device. Currently my S4 is still running official rom but rooted.
Before flashing a new rom, I've installed Titanium Backup and hoped to save app's data into my SD card as I did with all my previous devices. From Titanium's settings it is not possible to choose some directory of sd card as backup location. It's the first time I encounter this error on one of my Android devices. From terminal app, I can see that extSdCard is mounted with 'rw' option, so not read-only, and as I wrote, I can put files on it.
That weird problem happend to my SM-N9005 running stock rom 4.4.2. Out of sudden all the media on my internal sdcard is not detected i.e songs not detected by jetAudio, videos not detected by MXplayer, and images on QuickPic not detected also. But I can see all my media files still exist and working fine when I access them through any root explorer!!
I tried to fix this issue by fixing permissions of the entire sdcard and tried redo mounting sdcard r/w but nothing helped me. I've no clue how to fix this now.
Did you change something or installed or removed????
Extra details
Am not sure because I don't really know when was the very moment when this happened. But all the apps that installed now are my regular apps and nothing strange.
Extra details: when showing the hidden files I found several .nomedia files were created in certain folders that contain those media, something created it by someway am not sure. Could it be a virus?
Yet I've deleted all the nomedia files as they already cause the exclusion but unfortunately this also didn't work.
Did you reboot ?

Yes, as this was the first thing I did after the panic of noticing the problem.
I there anyway I could manage to format Sdcard contents without touching the system files?
Guys?
try to download and run sd scanner or rescan application or something similar from playstore
