install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.droida.nomedia&hl=en
find the folder where the videos are stored, make it red (if its currently white) then make white again.
reboot.
IF after a reboot, they still aren't showing, go into settings>apps>gallery and clear data. (then reboot again)
if that doesn't work, try a normal file explorer (make sure the settings within this explorer are set to view system files) and browse to the folder. look for a file called .nomedia and delete it.
then reboot again, might need to clear data for gallery app again. (and another final reboot)
sometimes straight after the reboot nothing at all will show, it can take a little while, so get on with everything else, go back to gallery in 10 mins and it should have re populated all your albums

Thank you for your help,but dont work for me.I think it's an issue of format.video from whatsapp have .MOV ending.I renamed them into .mp4 an then videos shown.

How to let music app rescan media files?

Hi, I have cleared data for "media store" app in app manager, now the music app is showing no media.
Why I did it, because I could not find some music files in music app after the 1.29. update though they were still there as mp3 files in the storage (also I have PowerAmp and it has no issues) I have restarted the device, but it did not help, also tried by activating USB mode to disc drive then back to storage again considering with this could work as mount/unmount and does the trick, but no success. I do not want to do a hardreset if it is avoidable as well.
Is there a way to force HTC music app to rescan storage for media files?

Download extended controls and you can have a toggle that forces a media scan.

You might also find a dedicated app in the market.. search for 'media rescan' and use the one that works best for you.

have tried with 4 different apps from market but none of them solved the matter. There is not a such option in the music app, actually no "settings" at all.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
There's no command that I know of in the menus. You might need root to run it? But I doubt that.
Android should rescan every now and then.
You could also try clearing the media players cache.
also.. Power amp has this feature buildt in

I know, hv been using Poweramp since earlier, it is awesome, no any such issues with it. Also hv tried with clearing cache and data for music app too, no success. More interestingly, have also applied reset to factory settings, but still same. I think the only thing left to do, hard reset from boot menu, it will wipe everything.
Any other suggestion? before doing that are more than welcome.

just a thought, how about moving your mp3s to another folder using a file manager on the phone and reboot, it may pick them up that way
Yes, it did the trick.. not renaming the music folder or moving to another place using folder explorer app in the phone but created a brand new folder when connected to windows pc as storage and moved all my mp3s into this new folder, and finally it worked, thanks for the tip mate, it was so easy

SD card problem

First off, I am running CyanogenMod 10, but I don't think that's the problem.
I've noticed today that suddenly apps like gallery, Apollo and PlayerPro have stopped showing any files. If I take a picture, it shows up in gallery, but none of the older ones. I can still access the files fine in a file manager and Clockworkmod recovery.
Anyone know what's wrong and/or how to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. :good:
Same! :/

[SOLVED] SDCard items (Audio, pictures) not showing in respective apps

***ADDED***

***Original Post***
Hey,
So this happened day before yesterday, on CM9 beta 5, my photos didn't show up in my gallery, I booted into recovery, mounted and unmounted my sdcard, cleared cache and stuff, to no avail. Today, I installed HTC One maXimus 3.0 with a full wipe, but didn't fix anything. However, what I've noticed is, if a picture is placed in the root of a folder in the sdcard, it shows up, but only if I cut and paste photos there, the ones already in the folder didn't show up either.
What I mean is:
I have a folder, /sdcard/DCIM.
The pictures that were in that directory didn't show up either. But, when I moved pictures from sdcard/DCIM/100Media to sdcard/DCIM, they showed up in the gallery.
I have another folder, /sdcard/pictures.
It has two folders inside it, 'Screenshots,' and 'Instagram.' Those photos weren't showing up either. But, when I moved them into /sdcard/Pictures, they showed up.
The biggest problem, even the pictures I take on the camera, don't show up in the gallery.
The only thing I believe is left is for me to make a backup of my sdcard, then format the sdcard, put everything back, and create new folders for the pictures and place em there.
If you have any suggestions other than that, please post it here. Id really appreciate it and will remember to hit the thanks button too!

Check to see if there is a .nomedia file in your root directory. If there is, delete it and rescan.

I deleted the file, and rebooted, problem is all there. How do I rescan?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Check that the file has not reappeared. I think this is a bug from ROM Manager which has just been fixed in the latest version. So may need to update ROM Manager too.
The .nomedia file tells the photo gallery and music player that there is no media there and to ignore any it sees. If it is in the root directory then it will not see any media files in any directory

It isn't there, and I don't have Rom manager :S

I even deleted .showme, no luck :/

You may just have to wait a while and it will update the gallery/music automatically. Sorry I can't be more help, but if you did have that .nomedia file, it would have stopped your apps seeing the files

Also try deleting the app data

See my post "reset the mediadatabase". ICS stores every medialink in a database, so that no other app has to search mediafiles (vids, pictures and music) in the storage everytime. If this database is corrupted, ICS will not find any new data by this moment. The way I described in my post fixed the problem.

It worked for me this morning. Try deleting any .nomedia files on your SDCard.
I suggest using quickpic instead

Problem with gallery on mildwild 8

When I open the gallery I can't see any pics until I click on the pic, it was fine I'm not sure what happened I even just did a clean install and still the same, any ideas, cheers

Maybe the pics' thumbnails got corrupted. I think they are generated and stored somewhere, but don't know where.
Try cleaning your sd-card of useless cache and stuff.

Try to unmount/mount sd card.
If there is no result try to fix partitions from 4ext recovery.
Try any third party apps like quickpic and see if it fixes for you. I never use stock gallery because quickpic is super fast and easy to use.
