FriendlyFire Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 4 (stock with faux kernel). I've tried to clear the data, uninstall and reinstall the app, reboot the phone, change the files, nothing works. Just to address the typical problems:-The files do exist on the disk. Folder rescanning didn't change anything.-Can't unmount the SD card on the N4.-Files are mp3s and flacs for the most part, with some m4as thrown into the mix. None of them, regardless of type, works, though when I select one to play the correct metadata (title, album, bitrate, file type, etc.) will show up. The only element which doesn't show up is track length; I just get -:--.-Files can be read by Play Music without any hiccups whatsoever, so they're definitely correct. My only guess at this is that I've switched to a new Google account recently and did a factory reset afterwards, using the new account as a primary account instead of my old one (which has the Poweramp license). Poweramp initially complained about not being licensed, but I uninstalled it, switched the Play Store to my old account and reinstalled and now the app doesn't say anything. Could it still be confused about licenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfalc0n Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm having the same issue on my HTC One with 4.3 and Sense 5.0, and I just bought the full version because I thought that might have been the problem. It's definitely not an issue with CyanogenMod since I'm not using that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyFire Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'll bump this as I've yet to figure out a solution despite many attempts (including reinstalling the app and unlocker a few times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo5 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yo tengo el mismo problema al actualizarse el Poweramp se produjo el inconveniente, por favor solucionar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyFire Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I just did a factory reset and reinstalled everything and Poweramp still isn't reading my files. There's no license problem or anything else that I can see. This is on stock JB 4.3 with faux kernel and stock bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyFire Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 They're in /storage/emulated/0/Music (the default folder) and Poweramp most certainly looks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 They're in /storage/emulated/0/Music (the default folder) and Poweramp most certainly looks there. So all the files show in PowerAmp's Library list, but none of them will play? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piolec Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Is anybody from Poweramp woks on this "hot" topics? If there is no chance to correct it just let us know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnr Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I searched all over the net not finding any solution, I just send a bug report about the issue but I guess they have tons of reports for this bug. What botters me is the fact that I payed for the app and used for a coouple of days before it crashes.As some of you goys I did try everithing from the "known" solutions provided by Poweramp to do a factory reset.... wasted my time cause none of that solved the problem!Hope we get a solution ASAP!

FriendlyFire Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I submitted a bug report too (probably a week ago by now) and didn't even receive a simple automatic confirmation email. Not a word. I know Poweramp isn't very expensive, so I'm not asking for instantaneous tech support, but it's still rather frustrating that we can't even tell whether they give a shit about the issue or not.

Danm it! my first mail was answered in lest than an hour ... but only to say those 4 or 5 posible causes... after that I got not a sigle word! It doesnt matter if it cost 1 single buck or a couple of 100s they are not given us that for free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapmr Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 It seems like it is CM 10.2 issue not Poweramp, you should write to CM dev so he could take look at this issue and try to fix it. I am still waiting for a solution since I really like the player (that is also why I bought the pro version). Now, how is the issue a CM 10.2 issue if problems are reported since 2011 with the same error "too many failed files playing will stop now"? When can we expect a proper fix?

When can we expect a proper fix?Now consider that I am not on CM at all and still am getting the issue. I'm on stock (rooted) Android with the faux kernel, that's it. The app is great but the support is really terrible, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3DMaX Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 it is a kernel related issue: i used pa 3.99 (android 4.3) on my lg p880 for over a month and used Poweramp everyday for several hours.then i decided to flash a new kernel yesterday and today when i wanted to listen to music, i got the same issue as you guys. i switched backto the kernel i used before and now everything works again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyFire Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Gotta wonder what the hell Poweramp's using that could cause a conflict with kernels, of all things. What's the kernel you tried, if I may ask? I'd like to determine which feature is causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I know some kernels/ROMs had issues with accessing larger SD cards (greater than 32 GB), I wonder if that might be a common factor? If people have this problem, does it also happen if you put your music files (or a selection of them) on the phone's internal memory?

FriendlyFire Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Being a Nexus 4, my phone only has 16gb and no real separation between the "SD card" and the "internal memory". At this point my guess is that kernels which modify the audio drivers (which is a lot of them) somehow are causing Poweramp to blow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 At this point my guess is that kernels which modify the audio drivers (which is a lot of them) somehow are causing Poweramp to blow up. Could be, but certainly not a problem with all kernels. I use Googy-Max kernel on my Samsung S3, and that gives me Wolfson or ScoobyDoo sound engines, dual ROM sand a ton of other extra stuff, and Poweramp works fine on it.

FriendlyFire Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 How annoying. I'd rather keep my current kernel (faux) on my Nexus 4, but I really miss some settings from Poweramp versus the default music app, like ReplayGain support. Should I just assume that nobody who can fix this ever reads these forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyFire Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I just reverted to the stock kernel and I still can't play files. This is getting absurd, and still not a word from the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Wolpa Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 "Too many files failed" message is shown when more than 5-10 files in a row can't be played. This can happen because:- no such files actually exist on sd card (files or folder were moved somewhere else, deleted outside of Poweramp, etc.). Folders Rescan will fix that- sd card is unmounted (e.g. phone is connected as usb storage)- given files are not in Poweramp supported format- files can't be read (sd card is broken, files were not downloaded completely, etc.) APRIIL 30 2014 I am really annoyed with "Too many failed files, Playing will stop now" error message and , considering the possibility to download another player. There is nothing wrong with my sd card , all folders (media>audio>mp3 folders) can be read , the files are mp3 files that used to play normally in the last week. Problem started a couple of days ago. I remember I had the same problem in playing unsupported wma files but they were replaced by mp3.So what is wrong and is there a way to correct it ?
