  1. Hi folks,

    Is there any way to disable or make disappear the Category (>>>) buttons from the main player UI?  It's really annoying when I am half way through a long playlist and accidentally touch one of the buttons, which then switches the category and there's no way to resume the position of the previous playlist.  

    Thanks,

    Simon.

    @andrewilley there are no any changes to this, and the permission can’t be fixed by app. Access via SAF works well on Samsungs (disable Legacy File Access, reselect Music Folders).

    If this is a permission issue that can't be fixed by the app, then can I ask why it doesn't affect numerous other music player apps?  Does PA require different permissions to other music players?

    If it's working straight away, no need to wait for hours to test again. It will mean that you need to do a manual (quick) Rescan whenever you add new music, but at least your music isn't constantly being rescanned when you don't want it to be after a reboot.

    OK, thanks for the advice. I guess that's a workable workaround, but it still seems this issue is to do with PA as it doesn't happen with other music apps.

    Then again, thinking about it, other apps, such as Samsung's own music app, are now taking several minutes to respond to any changes / additions to music on the SD card, so clearly something has changed with the Android 11 update.

    @Si6776 And if you turn PA's Auto-Scan feature off, what do you see when you launch PA a while after a reboot?

    Andre

    When you say "a while", do you mean a couple of minutes or a couple of hours?

    I've just turned the Auto-Scan feature off, as you suggested, and have done one reboot, and one full power cycle.  Both times PA seems to have launched as it should.

  5. So, here's another couple of things:

    I wondered if the problem might just be occurring with a full "power off" power cycle rather than just a reboot, so I have tried both three times and the issue occurred with all three full power cycles, and two out of the three restarts.

    I then went into (PA) Settings > Library > Scanner and disabled USB Disconnection / SD Card Mount, but the problem still remains.  

    I know nothing much about the technical side of these things, but it does seem as though Android 11 may be unmounting the SD card when the phone is shut down, and this may be causing the issue with PA, but that doesn't really explain why it's been fine for the last two or three weeks, and the problem has just now reoccurred.

    @Si6776 And just to be clear on the details: you are using a Samsung S10+ with a fairly recent update to Android 11, and you've already tried a complete app reinstall. And this full rescanning issue always occurs the first time you launch Poweramp after a power cycle, even if that might be hours after the reboot when the SD Card ought to be fully available.

    Andre

    I can confirm all of the above.

    I would also add that this doesn't happen every time, and this is in fact the first time it's happened since the last time I posted when the issues seemed to have been resolved.

    @Si6776 Have you tried a clean re-install of Poweramp since the late Android update? Remember to backup any internal playlists first, as the whole PA setup will be rebuilt.

    Andre

    No, but what I did do was restrict the scanner to the one Music folder on my SD card (previously the card was allowed at root) and I've since rebooted the phone twice and the issue seems to have resolved.  PA now opens with all music intact and the playlist position is saved.  Just keeping fingers crossed now. 🤞

    @andrewilley

    Just received a new update for Samsung Galaxy S21 plus. No more issues with Poweramp not finding any files after reboot. I can play all my songs instantly after reboot when I start Poweramp up for the first time. I'm not sure if the new update has fixed all the other issues though, since I already fixed them before the update. Good luck!

    Had the same update this morning on my S10+, and the PA issue still remains for me.  I didn't actually start PA until this evening, so it's had all day to locate the SD card, but I received the "nothing seems to be here" error, followed by a rescan, upon which everything was OK, but once again I'd lost my place in my shuffle playlist, which is quite annoying.
