TacoEmergency Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Any help is greatly appreciated! Poweramp doesn't locate any of my audio files. I'm using on an android head unit in my car. I've selected the correct folder. I've rescanned many times. I've deleted and reinstalled. I've ejected the SD card. I’ve checked all folders and tried specific folders with music and rescanned (full rescan too). I’ve purchased full version, off google play. I’ve done this (haven’t gotten a reply from support, which is why I’m writing here): “Hello from Poweramp support team! Please uninstall Poweramp Trial and Unlocker, restart your device and update Poweramp (trial - which is the main app) from Poweramp site - https://powerampapp.com/downloads/Poweramp-v3-build-last-uni.apkThanks!“ im using Poweramp for my android head unit in my car. Here’s a video: thank you in advance for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Video does not work, has you set it to public visibility? What version of Android does your head-unit run? Do you see the SD Card folders listed in the Settings > Library > Music Folders screen, and can you tick/untick folders there? What about if you put a few songs in a folder on the device's internal memory as a test, can they be made to scan correctly? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 @andrewilley Thank you for the response! heres the link: I accidentally deleted the last letter of link. ive tried putting music on internal and it still won’t locate. im running Android 9. for some reason when I’m in Files, it keeps asking me to Grant Access. Maybe that’s it? I’ve tried going in Settings and allowing it to “make any changes”. But it doesn’t “stick”. maybe that’s it? but again, any other “player” app I download works totally fine. They see all my music files without having to do anything. It’s only Poweramp that cant find anything. Big thank you for helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 You should't need to Grant Access for reading permission to the SD Card (only for writing). I assume you've already tried the advice of uninstalling everything, rebooting, and re-installing? If you go into Android Settings > Apps > App Permissions check that the Poweramp app is set as allowed in the Storage section. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 @andrewilley yeah, completely uninstalled, reinstalled from link provided by Poweramp support. Same thing. can I take a video of anything else to help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 And what about the app permissions, is Storage enabled for Poweramp? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 @andrewilley made a video reply, is that ok? I’m a visual guy haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Thanks for the detailed videos. Seems like some issue with storage access. Very hard to remotely debug, if you can capture logcat (right after you hit Full Rescan button) that would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 @maxmp No problem! How do I do that? im not good at android interface(I use apple) Can you link me to a walkthrough or an app I can download that will “capture logcat” big thanks!

andrewilley Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 @maxmp Do any of the current catlog apps provide enough info for you on non-rooted recent-ROM devices, or would the log file need to be captured via an adb terminal session (which might be a bit complex for a non-techie user)?

maxmp Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 @andrewilley @TacoEmergency It's built in into Poweramp: Settings / Get Support / Send Log. Please PM me here with your email so I can find your log 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 sent thanks @maxmp ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Sorry Max, I always thought that option was for sending a previous-crash log, not a recent usage catlog. You learn something new every day! Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 @TacoEmergency thanks for the log. From the log, cause of the issue is: 02-27 17:04:53.790 31822 31895 W ScanDispatcherService: Media not mounted There is a simple check in Poweramp scanner which won't scan the storage if media (storage/sd card/etc) is not mounted, as this will cause tracks removing from the playlists, categories, etc. Unfortunately your ROM seems to always indicate that media is not mounted. If you wish, I can try to prepare test build which tries to workaround that, but that will require test build testing + log again from your device.

Absinthequ Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I had this similar issue with my android head unit. I have to full rescan each time I start the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 @Absinthequ Full Rescan won't help in @TacoEmergency case, so the issue doesn't seem the same. Please describe it with some details (probably via new topic). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Any word? @maxmp I know shits crazy now, but I also wanna listen to tunes on a quality music player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacoEmergency Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 @andrewilley oh sweet!! I’ll check that. theyre been super helpful. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 @maxmp you mentioned making a test build for my system, can you do that? I really want this to be my main audio player. I love the look, feel and functionality. let me know what you need from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 @maxmp totally interested in getting the custom build you mentioned. Can you still do that? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 The latest build 871 includes all those changes. In your case you probably want to enable File Access Legacy Mode (search in Settings). Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoEmergency Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 @maxmp still finding 0 tracks. i have the most recent version, enabled File Access Legacy Mode and reset. any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
