I did some searching on here and Google and I am coming up empty. I have added a bunch of new music to the sd card, but cannot get the media player to see it. Ive spent 3 days messing with this and I am just a bit frustrated.
Here is background.
I use both Fresh and DC roms. This issue is in both.
I have unmounted sd card
I have rebooted phone
I can access and play files using astro.
I have installed app after app that claim to refresh with no avail.
I have cleared the music play in app manager.
A wipe data is the only way to get this music to show. This now is my only option, but I nandroid back as I dont want to restart from scratch.
Does anyone have or know of a working way to refresh the damn library.
Market, "ScanMedia"

Used it and all it does is scan. Will not finish. It did add pictures to gallery, but nothing for the music. That was 8+ hours of scanning.
Sometimes it does that to me too... i fix that by opening HTC Music, going to the list of playlists (artists, albums, songs, whatever... i just happen to use playlists), then long press home button to switch to ScanMedia and initiate media scan.
Then switch back to HTC Music, and if you see a rotating animation (aka, loading animation) on top right - it worked. Give it few mins and it'll update your music library. Takes no more than 2 mins on my 16gb card

Sdrescan in market
Last night I pulled the whole music file off the sd card, cleared music player cache and verified that nothing showed up. This worked as music player could find nothing. I then replaced the entire 3.5gig music folder to the sd card and cleared cache. Rebooted phone and only 83 songs showed up in the player. (I have 800+ in the folder). Used SD rescan, Scanmedia, and music scanner apps. I now have 100 songs showing up and thats it. Why will Android NOT see all the music or at least display it all. If I copy the same folder to my fuze player, everything shows up. I even forced stop the DRM protection in case that was the hang up. My son confirmed that the same thing is happening on his hero. Am I SOL to expect this device to be used as a media hub?
I've been having this problem for awhile too. Always stuck at 100 songs. Subbed for possible solutions.
I really couldn't stand the default music app on this phone, so I decided to pull the Google app from the market. Here's what the problem is.
If I start my random shuffle after plugging in my headphone cable, it will play the first song. Then, it stops. If I hit the power button or unplug the cable, the next song starts playing. I have to do this for every song.
Has anyone else tried that music player and experienced this?
(and for some reason I can never, ever put these things in the right forum. *facepalm*)
I have a similar problem with this app on my sgs2 too! But on my sgs2 i stream at work everynite with the google music app on my vibrant it streamed flawless with no gapps of dead air BUT with my sgs2 it buffers between every song! i know its not the building because my vibrant played perfectly in there. but between every song i wait anywhere between 30 sec to a few min until the next song plays on random, i never waited anytime on my vibrant!!!
THIS IS MY ONLY COMPLAINT ABOTU MY SGS2, I LOVE THIS PHONE, SO THIS COMPLAINT IS SMALL COMPARED TO MOST PEOPLE
This is one of two problems I have. The other, and very much more serious issue, is that the alarm clock function fails 20% of the time to ever go off. I'm trying a replacement app to see if the behavior is app or rom related.
My google music app won't reliably play offline music while offline. When I play a song, it will skip crazy fast through songs, stop on one and play it, then repeat. It's very annoying. This will happen with songs that are on my sd card as well, so it's not completely the app's fault.
I think samsung may have setup something weird to force you to use their music player. I was having similar weird issues with ubermusic, which NEVER gave me any issues. quite the coincidence...

Thats something u need to either reflash rom, or take phone back!!! i would would say odin back to stock but we dont have that yet. I use my alarm on my phone 6 days a week and it has never failed on me.
My google music app plays fine just not flawless like the vibrant which it should be the other way around, when i say flawless i mean no dead gaps of airtime, buffering etc

I've been thinking about flashing, but was really hoping to wait until something cleaner, say, CM7, was available. Flashing tweaked stock roms feels kind of pointless, but with the issues I'm having I'm starting to get concerned...

I've experienced similar issues with the ICS google music app.
Hopefully the powers that be don't do a DMCA takedown on my youtube video, but I've uploaded an example of a video playback glitch that regularly occurs on my device. Does anyone else see this on their Note 10.1 2014 edition? Very annoying... SM-P600, 32GB, USA version, MK1 firmware. Not rooted.
http://youtu.be/gU6x1CLGa8E
So far, I must be in the less than 1% that have experienced this problem...
you didn't include any info on the clip. audio codec, video codec, bitrate, profile, etc. what videomplayer are you using. is the glitch repeatable at that exact frame each time?
You can be sure that when somebody else had such problems, you will already find it here in the forum. So, no, never have such an issue. Also not over the network.
And, as mad squabbles already wrote: For more we need much more information.

The movie was downloaded from Samsung Hub to the device. HD quality. The videoplayer was the only one that plays these movies (to my knowledge): The stock Samsung video player. The glitch is not repeatable at exact locations. I can go back and rewatch the same clip and it will not appear, which says to me that there is not a data corruption problem. It seems like an I/O or "interrupt" problem to me. I've run Androbench on the device and I get as good as or better than the Anandtech benchmarks for the device.
This type of glitch occurs on any kind of move I play, including those I put on the device (mp4, etc). For the ones I have put on the device manually (not through Google Play or the Hub), I've tried the following players: Dice, MX, Archos, and the stock player.
In all other respects, the device works flawlessly: no lag to speak of (except for the occasional stutter on the notifications pull-down, which seems to be the norm). It doesn't crash randomly and battery life seems normal (no less than 7-10 hours of screen on time, ~4% drain overnight. The only thing that I have that probably isn't too common is that I do have MDM software installed (MaaS360) so that I can sync with my employers Exchange servers using TouchDown.

Normally I would expect that you have an background process which got more attention from Android then your video player. This can be anything. Did you have this issue also after a directly after a restart?

I just removed MaaS360 and rebooted. The glitch remains...
Factory resetting now. Will report back when I get it back online. I'll test video before installing any third party apps...
And.....it's still glitching after a factory reset.
First thing I noticed was that this scene is similar to super Mario live action movie
Second, this glitch can happen when you read from a slow SD card or can be reading and writing at same time, for example downloading from torrent or installing apps and playback movies from same location.

Indeed. However, movies are playing from the internal memory without any other significant activity going on. (no D/Ls, etc. just normal device behavior that is native to the OS) going on in the background. I also have played video in airplane mode...

and the media scan which have issues with scanning some files. Maybe you check which processes are running in the background?

There is always *some* process running in the background... I have cleared all other applications while playing a movie, but really, should this be necessary? (Problem still remains) I've tried playing movies without any non-stock apps installed. Problem occurs. I've tried freezing as much bloatware as possible without rooting before installing third part apps. Problem occurs.
What I would like to explicitly know is this: has anyone rented a movie from Google Play, played at least 30 minutes straight while doing nothing but watching the movie, and saw any stuttering whatsoever during that 30 minutes. I can live with it if it is a suboptimal experience due to firmware (I'm on MK1, btw) if this is "normal" for this device. I could only hope that it would be fixed in a future firmware update if that was the case. However, I have a strong feeling that if I sent this in to Samsung, they'll fiddle with it for 10 minutes, see that it "seems" to be fine (except for this glitch, the device performs completely as-expected for an Android device), then it be returned to me with no action taken. I can live without this thing for a few weeks, but it will be extremely annoying if nothing is actually done about it. Given that this glitch is not reproducible on command, I fear it will be an ongoing thorn in my proverbial behind. Unfortunately, my return window has expired or else it would go back in an instant.
Used Kies to download and reinstall the MK1 firmware in case one of the OTA updates were corrupted. No joy. Still stutters. Samsung Live Chat help of no use. I expect a call or email from them telling me to send it in in the next 3-5 business days unless someone else states that they have the same tablet and sees this problem too, possibly confirming that it is a firmware/device combination issue.
Mmm this is weird, I have no problem with video playback (any supported format by this device)
I have no MK1 but MJ2 and maybe media scanner is working hard in background
Are you using external SD card and / or have many pictures?

Try MX player if you just want to play it somehow

as far as i can remember with pc's.... if video card gets warm or hot, the screen starts to show glitches...

MX player shows glitches as well on movies that it can actually play. i.e., MX player doesn't play nicely with rented (digitally rights managed) movies from Google, which is the primary problem. Perhaps Android tablet users just don't rent movies all that much?

Media scanner isn't working hard in the background as far as I can tell. No to the two questions.
Hi guys i've just bought a fresh new moto 360. I played with it a few hours and there's something i can't get to work.
I noticed that when i launch the google play music on the phone, the card for controlling the music disappears in a second and it never turns back until i pause music from the phone. If i press play on the moto360, card goes away and never turns back until...and so on. I think (and i hope) that this is not the way it's meant to work
Android Wear app on the phone is the latest i suppose, i've downloaded it a few hours ago
Build number of the moto 360 OS is LWX49L (5.0.2)
Help please

I think it's a bug in the music app as I have the same intermittent issue both on the watch and on my Nexus 6. I'm sure a fix will roll out shortly.
I'm running 5.8.1836R of Google Play Music.

Hi guys,
has anyone tried to use Shazam on the watch? It's not working for me. The app starts and I also get the Shazam animation, but it never identifies a song though the same song is quickly identified by the phone app.
I'm not quite sure how the animation should look like on the watch, but on the phone you can see the beat as spikes in the "spinning detection animation". (I hope you know what I mean)
On the watch the animation just spins but without any spikes. This made me wonder, if there is a problem with the microphone as it seems the app does not get any sound from the mic at all.
The mic itself is working fine for "Ok google" commands, so the hardware should be okay. This was the case before and after the recent update (LC43B).
Any thoughts?
Okay, it's working with the latest update of Shazam. ?

Nor me
I have the problem again with the MEC23L update. However it's not the microphone or audio connection, that causes the problem.
When Shazam on my watch tries to recognize a song it always gives up with an error message saying it was unable to tag the song, but if I open Shazam on my mobile phone later on, I can see that the song is in the list of tagged songs, so it actually did work.
It seems that the feedback from the smartphone app to the watch is somehow not working properly anymore.
Please also check this on your phone.
I'm the original poster of this thread, but I don't know if it was the same problem with the old firmware as I did not check my phone for tagged songs back then. Is there anyone here who has no problems with Shazam?
I already tried to re-install Shazam on the mobile (and watch), but that did not solve the issue.

True, i checked and the song is tagged and it is shown on the phone app, but for some reason it shows as failed on the watch
Guys if you are on update 1.4 go into your permissions section and under Shazam enable microphone and storage. Mine were disabled and thats why it didnt work for me. After I enabled them Shazam is working again.

The permission for memory storage was disabled for Shazam on my watch, but unfortunately enabling access did not solve the issue for me.But as you got it working, I'll try to re-install it and take care about the permissions before the first start.
I wonder why the permissions were disabled in the first place.

Rebooted my watch and now back in the same boat with the one exception. The watch app stays open for like good amount of time and it will just close out but the tags show up under my shazam on the phone app. So it is kind of working just dont get confirmation of the tag on the watch.
This is still an issue for me ... Anyone else?

still an issue, I can't get shazam to pick up songs at the moment.
Shazam app updated yesterday and it appears to have fixed the issue with my watch.
I can finally tag songs from my Huawei watch
Can confirm, Shazam is working again.
