Aller2TeaM allerteam Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hm, Max, how about this solution for file access? Permission "All files access"? Current version of Nextcloud app, for example, using it. Or there's some cons of this method? Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 @Aller2TeaM allerteam currently Legacy file access mode does the same. All access is not granted automatically and requires permission from Google, though I know at least one player (VLC) who got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent so much time adding this. What happened? The downloaded artwork files will still be there, but your music has for some reason not scanned correctly at the start of the session - note the filenames without any Title/Artist/Album info, showing the file has been found but no tag data was read. Once PA has fully loaded, try a Full Rescan in Settings > Library. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 @Aaron Caldwell can you please press one of such "missing album art and tags" track and capture Info/Tags for it and post here? I guess Poweramp has no access to these (direct file paths without "Legacy file access", or SAF paths without SAF permissions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Caldwell Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Thanks for the help (both of you). I did a Full Rescan and it didnt change anything. Here is screenshot of album info. If I click on album art it says "no data available". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 @Aaron Caldwell thanks for the screenshot - this is the "direct" path and it will work only with "Legacy File Access" option enabled (search in Poweramp settings). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Caldwell Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Wierd..I can see it when I search for it but it says it wont be supported. It doesnt take me to the option when I click on it...just back to the misc settings. I have Android 9 on my Note 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 @Aaron Caldwell right, but it's supported for Android 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Caldwell Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Samsung Note 8 cant update past 9. Can I go back to the last Poweramp update or am I s.o.l. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 @Aaron Caldwell Android version is important as Android versions are very different in file access approach. When replying here, if no Android version provided, I assume the latest (11/12). In your case I see some files are accessible, some not. I guess you just have no those files available (no sd card, sd card has different path, etc.). In this case use Settings / Library / Music Folders, select proper folders, then use Full Rescan. Still ensure app has file access: long press Poweramp icon / (i) / Permissions / File access - should be Allowed. Poweramp asks for this permission on start, but if that previously denied, or manually set to not allowed, or automatically removed by any tools, then no access to files allowed.

Aaron Caldwell Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Thank you for your help. I went into music folders and for some reason a fair share of the folders were de-selected since the update. I selected them and did a rescan and Im good to go. Thanks again.

Aaron Caldwell Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I woke up this morning and a vast number of files were missing album images again. Went to the music folders and found half of the folders de-selected for some reason. Artist A-J fine...artist H-Z un-selected. I wonder what could be causing this all of a sudden?

maxmp Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 @Aaron Caldwell unselecting folders in Music folders selection won’t affect your album art. Unselected folders and all the songs in them just disappear completely from Poweramp. All music folders selection logic happens in that Music folders selection dialog, nothing outside of it can change it aside of resetting Poweramp data.

Aaron Caldwell Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Overnight half of my music folders were un-selected. I could see and play files but they had no image. Now I selected all folders again and the images are restored. Not sure why this is occuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 13 minutes ago, Aaron Caldwell said: I could see and play files but they had no image. When you say you could see and play files but they had no image, did the related song information also vanish? So for example you may have seen just a filename in your chosen category list - such as filenames ending in .mp3 or .flac showing in the Albums list but without any song Title, Artist, Album or Duration information. If so, something may have caused the filename entry to remain, but without any scanned tag data. Tag wording (such as Artist and Title or Album) provides the structure that PA uses to construct the filename that is used to access any previously downloaded and cached artwork from the internal album_art data folder. A similar issue has come up recently in another thread about playlists (https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/23077-reset-phone-reloaded-playlists-playlists-have-no-artwork) so there could be some underlying common reason.

Aaron Caldwell Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thanks for assistance. I didnt check but if happens again I will check the file details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Caldwell Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ok.it just happened (again). Half of my music folders (in alphabetical order) are suddenly not selected in the music folder. Wonder what could be causing this behavior. My files are located on an SD card inside a Samsung Note 8..Android 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I select all and then I log back into Poweramp and half my collection is de-selected. These files are on a micro-sd card inside a Note 8. It just started doing this after the latest update. Another oddity is that my playlist are always changed from small grid view to list view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 @Aaron Caldwell Is it always the same folders that go missing? I'm wondering if somehow your recent changes are not being saved correctly when you exit the app? I would suggest completely uninstalling and start again with a fresh setup (remember to export any internal Playlists and Ratings/etc first as they will be lost otherwise) Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still present in 925 by the way - did you manage to identify it, it's fairly easily reproducible? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
