Locsta Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Okay so I never used to have a problem with this on prior devices but now I need help. I need help finding an aio codec for my phone so I can actually play some music. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Poweramp does not require specific codecs, it uses ffmpeg to decode music. That should work for all normal devices, and the sound is output via whichever of the standard Android methods you select (OpenSL ES, AudioTrack, AAudio, etc).

Locsta Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 So do I have to download ffmpeg? & if so, where do I download it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6b6561 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 @Locsta are you by any chance looking for help for Mx Player Aio? This forum is for Poweramp which as far as I know has all codecs embedded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The ffmpeg decoder is built into Poweramp, there is nothing extra to download. Are you having problems playing some particular file format? As @6b6561 has said, I too wonder if you are talking about MX Player which uses external codec packs to support video formats which would otherwise require licences to be paid for their core product. As Poweramp is an audio not a video player, the issue does not arise here. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locsta Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 No I'm talking about Poweramp. But I just tested something, and it wont even play mp3s. Idk what's wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 What device? Do your files scan into the Library OK but not play? What happens when you try to play one? What audio output mode? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locsta Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Samsung Galaxy J7. All my files are there, scanned fine. It just says failed to play file. Audio output is - OpenSL ES output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Try a FULL Rescan in Settings=>Library, it sounds like the scanned files might be logged as the wrong paths (unless they are all faulty anyway). Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
