ZiprHead Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 LG Escape 3/K373 Android 6.0 Poweramp V. 3, Build 823 I have two folders checked in the folders hierarchy, Downloads in the phone's memory, and Music on the SD card. I've triple checked the folders are chosen and done several full rescans. Poweramp will not show or recognize the Download folder to allow me to choose files from there. If I go to the download folder, choose a file, and choose Poweramp to play it, Poweramp pops up but then does nothing, just showing the last file played. This used to work on the prior version but I'm not sure when it stopped working. Bug has been reported but any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you also remove the one that doesn't work, close Poweramp, reopen Poweramp and choose it again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxmp Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 What is the exact path to that Downloads folder? This looks like some specific permission issue to me when e.g. downloads is on some external storage. Or all your Downloads tracks are broken/too short (scanned duration < min duration which is 6sec by default). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiprHead Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 The path is the phone's standard memory, Internal Storage/Download. I don't know about changing file or folder permissions on an android OS. Like I said, it used to work fine. The files themselves are all podcasts of at least an hour in length and play fine in the standard android music player, which sucks because the player must always remain on top to play.

Tried that. Even shut the phone down and rebooted between doing so. No difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you move one of them to a location that you know works correctly (you main music folder for example)? Does PA pick it up from there?

ZiprHead Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Sorry for not getting back sooner. I D/Led a 25 minute podcast and playing from the D/L folder worked fine. Apparently the problem happens with larger files, which are usually over an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 If you get some track which you should be recognized, but it's not recognized by Poweramp, please PM me a link to the file for tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
