Media scanner broken - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm just deodex stock rom and kernel rooted.
For a while now, my gallery won't show albums, and some pix, videos app have ghost files where it used to see them.
Same with music, ghost files and nit updating to show music tracks.
Where is there a database or cache I can empty or something to fix my problem?

Tells all.,. Stock issues?

thanks..and as far as setups go.... I am not running any modifications, roms, roots, flashing or whatever other tricks that most are. My sprint samsung galaxy s epic4g sph-d700 is NOT moified ANY different than the day I purchased it. 100% factory settings, not even an ota upgrade done. As far as what's happening, the music player/ers don't seem to remember some 200 tracks I've been playing since I found my mp3 download capabilities. No files exsist, even after I play them from the file, in which they only exist, through the players their instantly gone once I close the player, although they still remain in the original file they were downloaded to. The media, movie, player is doing the same with the handfull of movies I've installed. My movie player was full , like music players were, yesterday, now "no files exist", says the according app. To add all of my camera pics and image downloads are wiped clean from the gallery. If I snap a new pic it will show up in the gallery, until I close it. When I return their gone, but again still exist in its folder. I don't get it and need a bit of advise on my next move to fix. Thanks people. I hope I've explained my issue good enough for diagnosis.

Back up everything on your sd card and format the card. See if that helps

interesting problem u have there.....I would try to back up all the music and format the sd card, then try it again if that fails then I would reccommend using a friends sd card to make sure its ur epics software and not the sd card. Also if u want to try a great music player app, winamp is free and works very nicely. Good luck I hope everything works out for u.

[Q] Issue with music player

So I use tubeX to download and convert youtube videos to mp3 on my galaxy s 4g for my music needs. However, When I use same app on S2, it won't play those files. Google music player and touchwiz music app plays those files fine in galaxy 4g but not in S2. I don't know why. As a result I am forced to use galaxy 4g when I have a brand new galaxy S2.
Any suggestions how to fix it?
Idk how tp fix this, but wouldnt it be easier if you just downloaded a torrent app from the market, like free mp3 music downloader, instead of making mp3s from YouTube videos?

Well Yes and No. I can speak 4 languages and Its usually easy to find english music online (I have mp3 downloader app for that) But its hard to find music in the other 3 languages. Its easy to just download youtube videos and change the extension to mp3 and in my any other android phone it works fine but not in Galaxy S2. Even though I use same apps and same android version on both phones. Weird!
Try tubemate, i have used that on my S2 and when downloading video select mp3 option.

Medias don't appear in the gallery nor music playerS !!

Hello,
I'm owner of a GSM Galaxy Nexus on AOKP build 35, and I have problems reading my music and other medias, let me explain.
I was on stock ROM 4.0.4, I had over than 100 pics on my gallery, with some videos coming from TubeMate and other app, but after installing AOKP ROM, my files don't appear, it still in the DCIM/CAMERA folder, but don't appear. But new pics that I took with the new rom are there, no problems
I have the same with music app, I want to use n7music player, despite the fact I put mp3 files on music Music folder, it appears only in the case of transferring files by Bluetooth.
Sorry for my poor English, If you don't understand I can make a video on YouTube, just tell me.
Thank you,
PS : look at the number of pics in the camera folder and the gallery app.

[CM10] Play Music & Gallery can't find files

This has been a somewhat reluctant problem in CM10. The media scanning in the JB build of CyanogenMod has been iffy at best. No matter what I do, music and gallery can't find my audio, video and picture files. I can confirm the files are in fact existent on my device and 3rd party apps, such as PowerAmp, find and play my files okay
I've tried clearing data of gallery and media storage and rebooted but no-go. Does anyone have suggestions or possible fixes?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Troubleshooting Album Covers Note II 4.3

Hey,
I have a problem with the album covers on my Note II, which currently runs under Android 4.3 (Not rooted, DBT).
All titles of my music collection are shown, but only the album covers of three of my albums. But there's no difference between the structure or anything. All .jpg - files.
And all same structured: Mp3 >> Album >> Music files + album cover.jpg
In the gallery all covers are shown without errors so my device recognizes the jpg. files but it is not using them.
When I was using Android 4.1.2 it still worked.
So far i tried the stock samsung player and musixmatch. They both show 3 album covers. So 98% of my albums don't have a cover in the mp3 player now..
What i tried so far:
Cache wipe
Hard reset
Moving files
Searching on google for similar issues (without success)
So now I'm out of ideas.
I'd appreciate any kind of help.
Thanks in advance.
Avendor
Any ideas at all?
