I have recently rooted my Google Nexus 7 (2012) and flashed it with Lineage OS / Android Nougat.
All is fine except the thumbnails of my video files have a green, mauve (or both) tint.
This applies to 99% of .mp4 files, whilst .wmv, .flv and one odd .mp4 files have no thumbnails-
just the standard camera icon.
This is happening irrespective of what file viewer I use. (eg the stock "Files" app or Astro)
Thumbnails of jpeg pictures are ok and unaffected.
I have tried the usual emptying of caches, and deleting thumbnail folders to no avail.
Internet trawl hasn't helped.
Can anyone here please.

I just got my 10.1 two days ago. Transferred a few movie files (.mkv & .mp4) into it through MTP (cable connection). I am 100% sure those video files were already inside the tab storage, they even appear in my moboplayer list, none of them appear in my stock video app. It just shows empty. I had no trouble opening those video files via my files and then open through video app.
What should I do?
nobody cares to help?
The stock gallery sometimes needs a reboot before it picks up new video and pictures.
Try using another gallery app like QuickPic, it's faster and has much more functionality than the stock app anyways.
I just copied over my Camera directory from my Galaxy Nexus to my new N4, but when I view the Gallery on the N4, the thumbnails are grouped with all videos first, then images after. Newly taken images show up before the videos in the first slots as normal. I also tried to empty the Gallery cache and rebooted, but they are still grouped this way.
Is this just how the N4 Gallery works now? Kind of annoying to have to scroll through all of my videos to see my older pictures. Everything should just be chronological like it was on the Galaxy Nexus. My view is set to the default grid view if that matters.
Anyone else seeing this issue?
ok, I think I figured it out. For some reason I am unable to connect my GNex to my Mac using the Android File Transfer app, so I used Airdroid instead to zip the /Camera directory and download it to my Mac instead. I think Airdroid changed the timestamp on the files in doing so, and since the videos took longer to compress/download, they got stamped with the most recent timestamp.
I think the custom ROM (Liquid 412 rc7) is preventing me from connecting to my Mac normally. Looks like I have some digging to do!
Hmm, I connected to my Windows laptop and was able to copy the /Camera from the GNex fine, then back to my N4 /Camera, rebuilt the cache and still have the videos all displayed first!
Anyone else have this problem? Or know of a way to get the Gallery to list the thumbnails of images and videos based on creation date?
TIA.
Having a problem with the Gallery app, it's not showing all of my pictures. New, downloaded pics will show up. But, for example, I have 21 pictures, all jpg, in an album in the Pictures folder of my internal storage and only 13 of them show up in Gallery. Cleared Gallery data and cache, rescanned sdcard manually, rebooted, still nothing.
I installed the Quickpic app, and it won't read my pictures at all. It lists them under "hidden files" and only shows up if I manually click "view hidden files" in settings every time I open the app.
I also noticed Gallery won't play .gif files. They show up as stills.
Both of these problems occur on all roms I've tried, so it's not rom specific.
Any ideas how to fix? It's really annoying me.

Essentially what happened was that I was taking videos when I went to see some bands. These videos were varying between 3 to 7 minutes long and I am sure I stopped filming as I kept the app open in between songs. One video had managed to save correctly and it was 5:58 minutes at 732MB.
I had gotten the impression that the videos just didn't save correctly as the LOST.DIR folder on my SD got ~3GB larger that night and there are some files that are around the size that the videos would've been (~400MB to ~1000MB). If these are the actual videos, is it possible for me to recover the videos from these files or are they not in a recoverable state?
I really hope I can at least get some light shed on this situation.
(I would've added pictures to show some of the files but this is my first post and I can't share links)
get a half decent file browser and rename them to match the file extension of the working video. you might need to move them or delete the .nomedia file before they'll show up in your gallery

I've renamed some of the larger files with the .mp4 extension in LOST.DIR and I tried opening them (I did this with ES File Explorer) and I couldn't open them. I had the messages "Sorry, this video can't be played" and "File has incorrect data"
Sometimes I add videos (usually shows and movies) to watch on my S7 Edge. I put them in a folder called "Videos" in the root of the microSD.
However, Gallery keeps mixing those videos with my personal photography... Therefore, I decided to hide them by renaming the folder to ".Videos".
Unfortunately, they still show up in Gallery, except grey and unplayable. I tried deleting them in Gallery, and clearing the app data, but neither works. Please help.
Got a chance to reboot and they're gone...
