My1 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 For some reason most lists (aside from maybe all titles or recently added) are empty, which kinda sux as it's kinda hard getting to the titles you want, when you pass a few thousand and only have a list. Phone:xperia xa2 Android ver: 9 Rom: standard, no root no nothing. The only thing that may be of note is that i am on it as a secondary user running off my microsd.

andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I would generally suggest not running the app itself on SD Card, it works better in internal memory. Looks like you need to adjust the ticked folders in Settings > Library > Music Folders, as you've got a lot of notifications and/or game sounds in your music list. If there is some content you want in those same folders, you might want to change the value of Settings > Library > Ignore Short Tracks to maybe 10 or 15 seconds.

My1 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 The app is iirc not on sd but the music is. Sorry for having used confusing wording. Also these tracks are part of a soundtrack, so no problem with those. Does Poweramp for some reason need write access to the music folders? As extra users for some reason can't get that.

My1 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 okay interesting, as the scanner kinda half-works, it finds the tracks but for some reason cannot categorize them into where they belong are there logs I can send? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Have you tried a FULL Rescan by the way? I'm assuming that all of your tracks are properly tagged (with Title, Artist, Album Title, etc) in the first place Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My1 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 most of my tracks are tagged in some way but I honestly dont care about the tags as I usually run by the folder hierarchy but even THAT is empty (as indicated in the screenshot) and on my earlier phone (Galaxy Note 4 on Android 5, was a while ago), everything worked nicely. for the rescan apparently for some reason while I am in the menu there seems to be no indication of ever stopping even after the folder/file count doesnt increase anymore, if I leave the menu it basically just shows 0 titles, 0 folders, 4 playlists, which is plain weird.

andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Worth completely uninstalling and re-installing (or clear app data) as obviously something is amiss with the database scanning process. The scanner should still accept files which are poorly tagged or untagged, you'll just see them as filenames only in the folders list.

andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Then I suspect there is something odd about the way your new device is handling the memory card. It could be worth backing up and re-formatting the card, then copying everything back onto it? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My1 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 weird enough, the only thing I am so far aware of is the write perms are missing, but sure I can try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
