SD Card music will not load about auxio HOT 11 CLOSED

I'm not sure if MediaStore [The way Auxio loads music] supports SD cards. Can you link to any apps that correctly find music on your SD card [Not including Vanilla & VLC since they don't use MediaStore].

(I have no idea if either of these apps use MediaStore)

On my phone (Android 8.1), sdcard is working already as the app can load and play songs from there without issues.

That's what I thought. Theres no difference between my implementation and Pulse's implementation aside from that I do all the loading upfront. It could be a device-specific issue.

Thats strange SD cards work fine with pulse music for me.

Are you stuck at the "Music loading failed" screen when you open Auxio? Or is the music just not loading? If its the former I could be able to trace back the issue further.

its not that its stuck or wont load, the issue is the music on my SD card wont show up in the app, the music on my internal storage works as expected,
When i try to add any SD card folder to the excluded folder list it says "this directory isnt supported"
but when i open music from my file manager (thats on my SD card)
it works fine,

Strange. It might be a quirk with the way Auxio filters music. I'll prepare an APK for what I think may be the issue.

When i try to add any SD card folder to the excluded folder list it says "this directory isnt supported"

This is expected behavior, as the excluded folder system only works with internal storage currently.

but when i open music from my file manager (thats on my SD card) it works fine,

When you do that, does it open up Auxio and play the music correctly or are you using another player?

Can you try this APK? I disabled a part of the loader which could be filtering out your SD card music due to a device quirk.

app-debug.zip

[Quick Note: Don't add any folders to the excluded folders list with this build, as that will break the app]

@OxygenCobalt Ok so it turns out (im really sorry for this) that my SD card music does show up in debug and non-debug versions,

So what happened was that all of my SD card music got stuffed into one album called "unknown album" instead of it having albums for each of my music folders,

(First 3 albums is music thats on my internal storage,
unknown album is all of my SD card music)

again im sorry for wasting your time,
Suggestion: maybe have each music folder from SD cards show up as there own album instead of them all getting stuffed into one album.

Okay, thats even stranger. This seems very device-specific and unless someone else is able to reproduce the issue theres nothing I can really do about it. Sorry.
