For some reason my music folders are showing but the folder shows empty when I go to it. I know it's on the device because file manager shows it. It's the internal sdcard folders. Any ideas? I'm running GPRO G3 v3.0.

I have been using Meridian for some time now. I got it and the verifier installed on my note 2. I went into the settings and told it to look on the sdcard for the video folder and for the music folder. It will see and play the video files. The music however, it doesn't see at all. I have rebooted, reinstalled, cleared the data, unmounted and remounted the sdcard. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas how to fix this? It does not have a .nomedia file in it.
UPDATE: For some reason it will not look for the music on the micro sdcard eventhough I told it to. My solution was to use directory bind and create an empty Music folder on the internal sdcard and bind it to the Music folder on the external card where my music is. Works great now.
I have been trying to track down a culprit that has been creating over 1GB of thumbnails in the .thumbnails directory in the root (not off of DCIM). After much googling, I got nothing.
Basically, off of the phone's storage, sdcard0, there is a hidden .thumbnails directory. In there is a folder for every single video I have on my external SD card. The folder is named "Movie_6xxx", where 6xxx is a number, like "Movie_6634". In that folder are 13 files for each video - 12 named "filename.0000.lvl" to "filename.0011.lvl", plus a 13th file named "filename.ListView.lvl".
If I delete the files, it stays empty until the phone is put on the charger. Then the files are regenerated.
I have checked running programs and such, but I cannot find the culprit that is doing this. Gallery creates thumbnail files, but I think those are off of DCIM and are less than 100MB in size. This .thumbnails off of the root is 1.3GB in size - a definite problem.

This guy had the exact same problem, with no apprent solution:

Anyone got any ideas?
I don't know what application do that, i simply delete the .thumbnails directory and create a .thumbnails empty file. Phone works well, with no problems with gallery or video player.

If you go into the "Thumbnails" tab of the stock video player, you will see that your video files are "animated". I rather suspect that the thumbnails you are talking about have been created by the media scanner to provide those animations.
No idea how to turn this behaviour off I'm afraid.

Dave

I guess you're right, when i remove the directory and replace it a .thumbnails file, there is no more animated video files.
I was hoping for an actual fix/turn it off, but I'm afraid you are right, the ".thumbnails" file seems to be the only way...thanks all.
I'm using cyanogen 10.2 on my sgh-i317 and recently downloaded an album (320kbps/mp3) through utorrent. It downloaded it to my download folder on sdcard 0. I then moved the folder to my music folder on my external sd and listened to a few songs off of it. When I got up the next day, the music files were not there. So, I downloaded it again on my PC and then transferred it to the same folder on my external sd along with another album from my collection. Both albums do not show up on the sd, either through ES file explorer or Apollo. The only notification I got was in windows when I was transferring them. It said something along the lines of these files may not be compatible with your device do you still want to copy them. I selected 'do this for all current items' and then clicked proceed. All my previous music files give me no problem and I'm having a hard time getting to the bottom of what is causing this. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
Storage/emulated/0/extsdcard or some such nonsense.

Yes I know where they're supposed to be. I'm saying the folders are empty. They are there and I've even played some of the tracks and then they just disappear.
DRM issue with the player?
Is this for every type of file or just these?
Can you see the files when you are connected to a PC?
Hello, today I plugged my phone in to try and transfer some photos I'd taken earlier, and to my surprise could not see the photos in the DCIM folder. Using FX File Explorer I can explore that folder just fine on the device itself, and see everything.
This problem seems to be affecting several folders, but not all of them. Sometimes it affects different files in the same folder differently. For example, I have some .pdf and .apk files in my Download folder, which I can see on my phone, but on my PC I can only see some other files in that folder, including a .zip file. The issue appears to be based on the date the file was created, as outlined in this post in Google Support forums. I had no success with the cache-clearing of External and Media storage system apps outlined in that thread. I had success with being able to view all my /Downloads/ folder items by putting them in a subfolder and then bringing them out again into Downloads. The trick did not work with the DCIM folder for some reason.
I am rooted, but this issue has persisted through at least one re-flash of a stock image (I just updated to the newest July build without wiping all my data).
The only thing I can think of is that I ran this command to change the permissions of /su/bin when I was trying to get Android Pay working and perhaps that screwed something up? But wouldn't that be reset after the stock image was flashed anyway? Or would I need to wipe to do that? And even so, it still doesn't explain why it only affects certain files and folders.
Thoughts on things to try? Is there any way to undo that chmod command? FX File explorer says my current permissions on that folder is 0755, could that even be causing the issue? Apparently the change to 751 failed.
The issue persists using different USB cables and ports on my PC.
Did you have any luck figuring this out. I am having a similar problem as well.
I have always been able to transfer music from my computer to my nexus5X's Music folder with no problem. Today, something isnt working right. When I plug the 5X into my computer and select File Transfers, I can see all my files on the 5X. When I select the Music folder, it opens but only shows 237 songs. When i look at the folder on the 5X is shows 1016 songs. For some reason when connected to the computer it cant see all the files in the music folder. Also, when I try to copy a file to the music folder windows give me an error and says "The device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" If i try to copy is somewhere else on the 5X it works. I just can send it to the music folder. What can I do to fix this?
I actually noticed this before the update to 7.0. I used TiBU but the folder was not there. Using root explorer I can see the folder. I placed the Titanium Backup folder into another folder and then I could see it via the PC.
I uses a usb 3.0 port on the PC , have not tested 2.0 atm.
This is a typical MTP bug, just find & clear 'Media Storage' system app data, reboot. Dont connect PC before media scanner service finished.
You will lose media playlist, though.
