What's the mount point of USB OTG storage on the disk? Since there is no way to play the music on the usb disk using Play Music app (correct me if I am wrong), I'd like to add the mount point to kodi and play it from there. Note that es-explorer is able to use Play Music app to play one mp3 at a time, but there is no playlist support or play complete folders/albums.
Any update on this? I to wild like to know. Thanks

Hello fellow xda people.
I have searched to solve this issue but couldn't find a solution.
So here's what going on.
I have received my USB OTG cable today. So I wanted to test it out. I hooked up an external hdd with external power on my phone. I was able to see and browse it in root browser. But I couldn't play any video's in .avi format with vplayer or mxplayer. Which was weird. I also couldn't start the following apps: root browser, file browser from cyanogenmod (with root permissions), mx player, vplayer. (I only tested those apps). I started root browser before plugging in the hdd. The hard drive was under /legacy/0/ (the phones internal storage). I also tried an USB stick with the same effect. But I could play a movie because it was a .mp4. I played it with stock Android videoplayer. I tried the apps stickmount and otg helper from google play but they didn't help. So I know the cable is not broken. It is a issue with my phone.
Has anyone a solution or at least can point out the problem?

hi, so im rooted and used OTA cable with stickmount, it mounts my usb3.0 drive but it doesn't show any files, does it only detect or show fat32? i think my stick is NTSF
i also tried nexus media importer and it doesnt detect my usb drive
any other apps? thanks
i used free app called usb otg helper and it detects my ntsf drive but when i play the .mkv file theres no audio, maybe i don't have the right codec or video player?
Is the USB Micro port capable of being used to copy music to and from the device?
Bluetooth is so Battery hungry and slow... I was hoping to just plug her in and copy the music over.
adb
Just use adb to push your music to /sdcard.

I was able to "adb push" some 100 mp3s in a couple of minutes to the SWR50 by turning on USB debugging and using the default Android ADB interface driver, however I only have one playable song (that I sent over BT via Walkman app as a test) in the music player. I tried pushing mp3 files to both "/sdcard" and "/sdcard/Music" directories but could not make a pushed song visible by the music player.
Anyone had any luck with this?
Anyone had any results/success with the above?

No.
It seems you have to either use the walkman app or register via the google play music store (with a credit card!!*) to be able to play the music.
This is a really poor implementation either way - having to send music to the cloud and then all the way back again to see it on your phone.
I guess someone will come up with a workaround app sometime soon. Or at least I hope so!
*apparently you can register for the google music download manager then remove your credit card info from google wallet and it will still work (but it means your details are still there, somewhere).
You could try installing Play Music or some other music app via adb
This works for me. However, the app I use to listen to music is wear media player. You can find it in the android wear forum or on the play store. If you can't, I can link to it.
Someone also broke the forum rules to promote another paid app that does the same.
Where is the Walkman and Google play storing their music?
Does anyone know where I can push music to be able to play it though google play or walkman?
I tried wear media but I can't get it to play song in the right order.
What is the order you want? Are you trying to play a playlist? I do not think Google play recognizes sideload music.
Also, if you are dead set on a drag and drop without adb solution, twrp (for 5.1.1 supports mounting the scared as a flash drive).
Hello everyone,
I have been trying to find some current information from this, but all of the options out there seem to be from older iterations of Android. Currently I'm running a Nexus 7 (2013) with 5.0 Lollipop. I'm trying to add music files from my NAS drive (WD My Cloud) to my tablet's music library so that I can use it with Google Now (basically attempting a variation of Amazon Echo). Unfortunately, all of the music apps that Google Now recognizes do not recognize any NAS enabled music apps. I've tried CIFS and Mount Manager, but they don't seem to work anymore. Can anyone let me know if I can still mount an NAS drive to my local storage or if there is some other solution that would allow me to say "OK Google, play ****** by ********" and it play the file of my NAS? Thank you.
Up...
VERY interested in this...
Tried to mount NAS folders in my MX4 Pro Flyme but no success
Any suggestion?
Regards
Hello, Is there any way I can mount my OTG drive so a music app can see it, as if it was internal storage? I want to put all my music on an SD card and plug it into my phone, I can only see the contents of the OTG drive through a file explorer, any music player I tried will not see the music on the OTG drive... Is there any way to accomplish this? Are there any music players that will do this or a way to mount the OTG to do this?.
