United StatesA simple app that updates the media database (aka MediaStore). Each Android device has a database that stores media information. It is not immediately update when files are transferred from another device (eg via USB). This app scan storage and add new media to the database.
Features
-List recently added files
-List detect media while scanning
-Fast multi-threaded scanning
Limitations
-The app will skip the directory holding ".nomedia" file
-The app will skip directories starting with "."
-The app cannot scan unmounted storage
Working good. I like it 👍🏻
Used to work. Doesn't since recent update. Scan on startup no longer happens. Hit "start scan" and nothing happens.
I finally found a media scanning app that is fast, properly logs what it is doing, and actually works on the latest Android version. Downside: Does not remove stale entries from the media store, at least when the folder has been deleted. Works fine for adding new files.
Not compatible with devices with SD Cards. Only works with internal storage.
I found some instructions on the web on how to refresh the media store, but they to no longer work on newer Android versions (I'm on 13). So I tried this app and it worked.
It adds new files to mediastore but doesn't remove the deleted files from it, so my gallery, media player, etc. still detects the deleted files
Doesn't work, no idea what it does, but doesn't update the media data Base
