Files in external storage app folders not showing up #347

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Shuttle version: 2.0.4

Device, OS: Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1)

Motorola Moto G4

Description of bug: Files don't show up in the list if they're in application's folders. Only tested on external SD.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Put music in application folders (i.e on external SD, Android -> data -> [app folder])
  2. Nothing will be found.

Expected outcome: Music would show up in the list as normal.

Observations/Actual Result: It doesn't get loaded in.

NOTE: I have no clue if this was due to the bulk of the files I had or if it truly wouldn't work. I don't have time to test. I know Shuttle takes time to load the files in, but none of them were showing instead of some of them. I have done this before with similar amounts in different locations and at least some would show (~1900 files).

To add, the only reason I need this is because Syncthing cannot put files in any other folder except its own on external storage, regardless of root (which I have and supposedly I should be able to put it where ever I'd like, but alas, it is very hellbent on telling me I cannot apparently). So, I'm at a loss. Unable to streamline the way I transfer music between my computers and phone, I am understandably very frustrated because I would rather not have to constantly take out my SD card in my phone to put music on if options exist to do this without ejecting it.

I’ve used Shuttle with almost 5,000 songs so I don’t think it’s the song count.

Do you have any .nomedia file in your Android or data folder ? It might be the cause. I think the problem comes from Android's MediaStore that doesn't scan files in this folder. (need to be confirmed?) At least if you have Shuttle+ you can manually scan the folder, or move your music files in another folder, but it doesn't solve the problem..

I use Syncthing to sync a music folder on my SD card.

To add the folder to Android MediaStore, you can use the Shuttle scan fonction. Steps:

  1. Go to folder view in Shuttle
  2. Go to the folder in external storage
  3. Click the hamburger menu
  4. "Scan"
  5. Music will be visible in the main view.

I think issue can be closed, except if anybody think it should be scanned automatically.
