captainkev Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Build=860 Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Exynos on Android 10 I have a fairly large music collection - around 37000 tracks occupying around 300Gb on a 512Gb MicroSD card. I'm a new user of Poweramp having previously been using MediaMonkey. I'm finding that when Poweramp scans the library, it finds all ~37000 tracks, but when I go into the 'Artist' field in the Library, Only Artists beginning with letters A to T are shown - anything after Travis is missing. When I go into the Folders option, all files and folders are there and can be seen. Neither MediaMonkey or HiFiCast apps have any problem adding the entire catalogue to their libraries. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Sounds like the scanner process is maybe not completing reading the tags from your music correctly? Try doing a FULL Rescan, and leave it for a while to complete. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Yeah, tried this several times now. Even tried deleting cache and data and starting afresh, with exactly the same result. Only thing I've not done so far is an uninstall/reinstall. Will try that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Ok, so just tried uninstalling and reinstalling, then doing a FULL rescan, with exactly the same result. However, I did notice that the scan does indeed seem to finish early before scanning all files as you suggested. Is this a known error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'm wondering if somewhere in your music collection there is a file (or files) which is breaking the scanner somehow? What happen if you move just some of the later file folders (X,Y,Z for example) to a different folder, and then enable only that one for scanning in the Settings > Library > Music Folders list. Then if that works after a Full Rescan, add more files/folders until you find the culprit. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 That sounds like a major faff 🙂 Do you know if there is a log file that might point to the error that caused the scan to exit prematurely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainkev Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 I've tried to add in folders around the bit where it seems to fail, so I've added all folders between Soul Asylum and Tyler Lance Walker Gill, and then done a Full Scan. Somehow the only artists that appear in the Library are those which start with 'The...'. Everything before and after is missed. Very very weird!

andrewilley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 It will depend on what the actual 'raw' file order of the directory table structure is, as to which items get scanned first. Try again with all the files after 'T' and see if they all load correctly. Sorry, I don't know of a logfile that the scanner creates (apart from the database itself of course).
