[Q] Help me setup Lyrics and Subtitle manually - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, guys. I like to see lyrics and Subtitles. But unfortunately I can't see them on my new M8. I've found out that I can download lyrics from music player but it can't find none of my songs lyrics. But I've .lrc files of them. So I need to setup manually. I've found from some other HTC device that, in a hidden folder in Phone memory com.xxx.musicenhancher and there are the lyrics path. But that was for sense 5, we have kitkat so the directory path is different. So, I can't manually setup Lyrics either. I've also tried to put same named .srt for my videos. But open video app only play video not subtitles. Please help me

Save in this directory. /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.htc.musicenhancer/files/.lyrics/

[Q] How to change the default video player to another application?

Hello all,
Is there a way to change the default applications of my DHD phone?
I'm using ES File Explorer to view my shared movies on my network. but all of the movies are *.avi files, which the default HTC movie player doesn't support.
I have downloaded VPlayer Beta a nice free application that can play such files, but i can't make it default player for such files.
I hope i was clear, and I'm waiting for your help.
Thanks
Ahmad

[Q] Music apps cannot locate music files....

hi guys,
I'm on AOKP B31 with Franco r130 kernel
For some reason my music files will not show up in any of my music apps (google play or songbird.
I know the files are there and the only way I can get the music to play is to manually open the file through es file explorer and use the es music player. If I try to manually open the file and try using google play or songbird both apps will crash.
I've already deleted the one .nomedia file I saw in my music folder and rebooted the phone and I get the same problems.
If you need more info please let me know but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
*Forgot to mention that I've also tried reinstalling the music apps as well with no success.
**I fixed it. Not sure what was going on, but i took my music files out of the music folder, deleted the music folder, then created a new music folder, transferred music back in, cleared data for both music apps, and now it works. Not sure what was going on....
Try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work install winamp or poweramp to see if the problem exists there to.
Note: m4v or other apple produced media files will not be added to play music or google based music apps. Poweramp and winamp do!
If you love google play music make the music folder on your computer stream it's media to google play online using music manager and play it on your phone from the cloud.
If you like to convert your media to mp3, ogg or flac (best supported on android)
Use a free program called foobar. I like it because it allowes me to batch edit music tags in most formats, batch convert them and because it's free without needing to sign up for anything.

Thank you very much for your suggestions but I've already fixed the issue.
As I stated in my updated post above, it was strange because I had to delete the music folder and create a new one to load the files back into. After that it worked as normal. Never ran into that problem before and I never expected to fix the issue with what I had to do.
Again, thanks though for your suggestions!

Is there away to edit album info of a song?

I used es file explorer to rename the songs, but don't know how to rename the album or artist info.

Use PC, right click, Properties, Details. Change it from there.
You can edit metadata like Artist, Album, Song, Genre, Age, etc. You can even add an album picture with software like winamp, aimp or Windows media player.
There are many tag editors, you can google it and search for a good one that fits your needs.
I've always used AudioShell for PC.
Lets you right click a song and edit properties directly.
I think he means how to edit those attributes using the phone itself
Well, if you want to edit them using your phone, you can do it in PowerAMP. You can also pick an album cover, but that only works in PowerAMP. For example, if you edit the tags in PowerAMP and then open any other Music Player, it won't show any of the tags you added nor the Album Cover.
Just search mp3 tag editor in the play store

iTag seems to work best for me. Allows you to edit almost all values of the MP3 tags, including album art.
love this app
DroidID3tagger does it all for you with one click
super awesome app. its free in play store

Thank you. It's good. Testing full version of JetAudio and I need this. They should implement id tagging like PowerAMP does.

Download AudioShell, install it on your PC, and do the editing in your PC. Just right click MP3 files and click AudioShell Tab and edit away!
This allows you to edit Title, Artist, Album, Year, Track Number, Genre, and add Album Art.
You can also flash the xperia s music player and do all the editing on the music player
Use a program such as Autoshell or Mp3tag. I'm unsure can you do it on your android phone but it is likely that you can.

media player - how to work

ok, i really have the lg optimus L9 from tmobile. but no forum yet for the L9 so here i am. just got the phone and am new to andriod, have ice cream.
just want to play a frickin mp3 and avi files that are on the sd card. if i use file manager and naviagate to avi video, i see a small thumbnail. but when i try to click it i get 'try again after scanning media file'. no idea how to scan media files. navigate to mp3 and click get a choice of google play music or music player. music player gives me again "try again after scanning media files'. now all of a sudden the google media works for my mp3 - no idea why.
guess i am trying to understand how to scan media files. and which program will use the library, google play music or music player. and how can i play video. i am ok with even purchasing a player as i really like to play just about any format without having to convert. what is the player out there that will play the most formats?
thanks
For media searching use the SD Sync app from market. Works well.
where is the best place to go to download apps?
Google Play ofcourse
ok. guess i am trying to figure for now
1) if i copy a media file to my storage card, how can i play it right away, without having to update my whole library. i want to download, point an applicaiton to it an play it.
2) what is the video player that can play the most formats?
1)Open the file with file manager. I prefer the root explorer.
2)LG stock player supports everything, at least no problems even with .mkv packed files.
Oh, you got the L9. Not sure about yours but must be same i think
Also if the file was downloaded from web, you can select/open in directly in the download manager.
Just Figured this out M'Self
OK, just had same issue (same 'system message') trying to watch videos using the built-in Video Player. Maybe it was the first time I used it, but I was actually trying to figure out how to use the new 'Q-Slide' feature to watch a video while doing something else on the phone.
I actually pulled up the manual PDF (downloaded from LG, here), then <CTRL+F> (searched the document for similar system mssgs), and got a 'hit' on Page 49 of the OEM manual (my search, BTW, was 'media files'--'scan for' never found it).
You have to let the system do this for the 'FileShare' app also (I'm sure it's about 'indexing'), so I did, and it worked.
Not so much a 'system error', as a little 'systemic quirk' (much like a cosmic queef)

[q] Network audio player?

Hello there, besides Neutron, is there any other player that supports playing folders from local network. I mean I've shared a few folders over the network with mp3 and flacs and I want to play them with an player from my Tab S. I've found only neutron who does the job. Other players they don't even have the function to play files from the local network. Any suggestions ? Thanks
Why not just use something like bubble upnp?
I will try it when I get home. Thank you!

Ok, so I've installed the app but it doesn't play my mp3/flac files from an shared folder trough my network. From what I see , I have to install an Bubble upnp server on my laptop then the Bubble upnp app would acces that server and play the files.
I'm not looking for that. I just want a player that can play files in shared folders on my network, no additional servers or stuff like that. Only Neutron can do that?!?! In Android OS , I'm kinda shocked, because when I had the IPAD I've had like 3-4 apps that can do that.

Out of curiosity if you have Neutron why are you looking for something else? A while ago I ran onto this hassle and ended up buying Neutron because it can play from multiple sources (network shares, streamed URL and mSD storage) it also has superior audio compared to Power Amp. Neutron's UI needs a modern refresh but functionality is good. I have also purchased and set up Plex app including its server. It's app is beautiful but it's lack of Playlist ability and how it groups audio files makes it a video server choice rather than audio. I do not use Plex anymore as I ended up implementing my own solution.
In the end I wrote a python script that takes my m3u playlists from my desktop/server and converts them to urls listed in a rss file and make the music directory and modified m3u rss file accessible from my local lan's web server. I'll usually use Server Steam (playstore) to stream the m3u file launched through Simple RSS widget (playstore) which shows a scrollable list of m3u urls.
Sometimes to get exactly what you want you need to roll your own.

Is the Neutron UI that is holding me down and the fact that on a open source OS like Android I don't have at lest 3 applications to choose from, I think that is what is bothering me ). Thank you all for your answers!
Until I will find something new I will stick with Neutron.
Windows has its own upnp server built in. No need to install anything. Just open media player then add whatever you want to share to the library, be that a single file or a whole folder or drive.
It will then be available on the network for any upnp or dlna device or software.
Most file managers will let you play music files. ES File Explorer has its own media player built in.

Maybe I'm ignorant of the term "Network Player". I know if I use ES go to Network then access my NAS's music folder I can play my MP3s. I have the option when I tap one to use any of the installed apps to play it. That's not a network player?
Also Dice Player has the option to setup network access and play media...

No you're correct, I stand corrected. Don't really use es explorer, so wasn't aware of it.
I use ArmAmp (for local & network). It has way better UI than Neutron, and more features / customizability than ES File Explorer's player.
