Try formatting your sdcard.

Hi,
Do you have a .nomedia file on your medias folders ?
If yes try to delete it...

WMP Library files from SD Card

Hey All,
I've got a ton of media files on my SD card that will all play using WMP, But for some reason when I try to add them to the WMP library it won't add them. When I use the update library feature it finds all the files, but when it says adding files to library it only adds the files saved on the device and not the sd card. When going to library and selecting storage card as source and then clicking on music or videos I get an error message that says "Windows Media, An unexpected error occurred". Does anybody know of o fix or has had this problem. Any help is appreciated.
I dont have this issue. one question is what size memory card. has it ever worked in the touch? does it work in any other device?
it may be a problem of the card.
Try moving the files to a subdirectory on the SD..eg.: /Storage Card/Music/*
Right now the files are in the my documents\my music folder on the storage card. I hadn't tried it with my old sd card because with the 512 card was large enough to bother. I can play all the files if I select them with open file, I can even play the whole folder if I select it. It even puts up the album art on the screen. It just won't let me add them to the library.
Thanks for everyones suggestions. I was able to fix it by deleting the MSMETADATA and the WMRDM folders from the storage card and this fixed it. I got the answer from sprintusers forum but the guy that posted it said he ound the fix here. So thanks to those on this forum also.

[SOLVED] External SD card issues

Hello, I have searched around for solutions for this problem but can't find anything that helps me; I have an 8gb external sd card with some music, files, etc. stored on it. There are three problems I have noticed so far with this:
The music files are not found by the stock music player or any others except Tinyplayer
Pictures stored on the external SD card only show up in the gallery until the media scan runs and then they dissapear, but are still accessible through Astro.
And I am unable to transfer files from the external sd to the internal sd
As mentioned above I can still play music files with tinyplayer and access photos using Astro but this is a very annoying problem! I have also tried formatting the card (FAT32) but this has not fixed the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Deleting this file solved my problem!
using astro you can copy and paste file from external to internal, but why do you want to do that?
after the media scan runs, the thumbnails will remain until you eject the external card again
using gallery picture viewer you can see external sd pictures
it use a music player called "player" way better than the stock player, and you can have the pictures anywhere and it will pick it up
The thing is I can't though, if I try to move a file from external to internal Astro brings up an error that says "Move Error - Move Failed".
When taking photos and videos I have set it to store them in the external card but after they have been taken they only appear in the gallery momentarily and then will dissapear even though the card is still in the device.
Save your files on computer and format sd from phone
Sorry I've tried formatting and the same thing happens annoyingly!

Find someone with a card and try with his. Yours might not be good
it sounds like the Internal SD card is the problem here, not the External
are you able to create any file or save anything into the Internal SD?

Same here with Astro.. If I try to copy with My Files works ok.
Media is OK (in Music app, Gallery, etc)
what ROM are you 2 running?
that doesn't sounds right to me at all
I copy and paste files often between external to internal SD card and viceversa using Astro File, and it works without the error message you guys have reported.
try upgrading to a newer version of Astro File
if "my files" app is working then it must be either a bug in Astro version you guys are running or a bug in the ROM
i'm on Astro 2.5.2
Saving files to the internal sd seems fine and I am using the stock ROM, not rooted or anything special!
I have found out I can move files from external - internal and viceversa using the My Files App! So that particular problem must be something to do with Astro, which is strange because I am also running version 2.5.2!
I still have the problem of not being able to see media stored on the external card through most apps though, so I will try @exadeci's tip tomorrow and put some songs and pictures on an alternative card and let you all know how it goes!
Thanks for the help so far though guys

YES! It's fixed, I created a .nomedia file on the root of the external sd when I first got the phone and forgot about it, just deleted it and everything is now fine! Thank you very much!
<facepalm>
@AllGamer I have already the latest version of Astro..

[Q] Gallery App is not recognizing the photos in micro sd card

I got my GS4 in Australia and recently flashed the latest HongKong stock rom. Everything works fine except the gallery app.
I am using Sandisk Ultra 64gb sd card. I have put some photos and songs into the sd card. Most of the songs are shown in the music app, just a few are missing.
However, all other photos in the sd card do not show up in the gallery app. In "My Files" they do!
I have tried re-format the sd card, using another sony card, reset the system and even exchange for a new GS4. This problem still keep annoying me.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
Update:
I used to unmount the sd card from the phone to transfer files. But today I used the usb cable to connect the phone directly to try see whether the problem solved. However, I found that there is some problems that are not related to the card. I am using Windows 8. There is pop-up window when I was transferring files into the sd card part. It is basically asking me whether copy the files or not because the device may not able to play or show these files. But I am just putting normal jpg files. What's wrong with that?? Is anyone know how to solve the problem?
Solved:
I get the problem solved by re-formatting the sd card using my S4 and I must use usb cable to transfer files so that all files are visible on my device. But it is too strange that they are invisible if you use other methods.. Also when I was transferring files, the windows warned me that those files may not able to view in my S4 and ask me whether to copy those files or not.
I just cannot understand what is the problem.

No... checked it a couple of times.
It is a directory called Photo's wit a couple of sub-directories. Strange because Quickpic gives no problem. But I want to use Gallery on my S4.

Thanks for the help M8 but it doesn't seem to work. Only Quickpic works. But as I told you I want to use Gallery with all the features in it.

Anyone else with a suggestion
Anybody can help us with this?
It is really strange. Even my Music Albums from the sd card show up and photo's do as well in Quickpic.
The only problem is that Gallery does not access my sd card.
Solution would be great!

Thx m8... will give it a try. But first backup my sd card

Delete photos

Hi guys.
I recently switched from a 32GB SD to a 128GB one.
I copied all the content of the old SD to computer, and then copied to the new one.
Photos taken with the camera were saved on the external SD.
When I went to the gallery I discovered that ALL the photos previously deleted from the gallery weren't deleted, I had again ALL the photos. So deleting from the gallery simply deleted the picture from the gallery view, but not actually from the SD.
So, it seems that gallery can't delete photos saved on external SD.
I check permissions and gallery can save and delete from external SD.
No problem when saving on internal SD.
I used both http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/moto-g4-plus-gallery-t3385992 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/app-moto-gallery-t3492365.
Anybody has a solution for this?!
Thanks!
Yes, i have also the same problem, i tried cm gallery, htc gallery and many others but they all behave same, not deleting actual photo from sd card.

So I'm scared the only solution for now is to save them to internal SD and then move on external SD with a file manager....

Well you could just use a file manager like ES Explorer and go to DCIM/Camera and delete them manually.
