Re: Booting Android deletes Playlists

So this is very odd. First boot I just recreated the folder structure and threw some .pls files in there. They all got wiped when I booted into BLAZN. Then when I booted reference, I put some .pls files in there with a bunch of other files. Nothing got removed. So I removed everything but the .pls files, booted reference again and nothing got removed. Booted BLAZN again and STILL nothing was removed. All the .pls files were still there.

So it was only that first boot. I don't get it...

Interesting. I wish I could reproduce that somehow, but with my luck those files get hosed every time I boot.

arrrghhh (and Androktasie): Here's another one for you -- maybe related. For some time, my WeatherPanel layout files (*.wpl) have been erased from my SD card after every Android boot! I noticed my Windows PC thinks wpl files are for Windows Media Player -- so this thread title got my attention!

I used to use BLAZN, but now I'm running reference (10/25), with the latest rootfs and kernel (11/8 and 11/3, respectively). It's possible, however, that I'm still carrying an app or other left over file from BLAZN.

arrrghhh -- if you get a chance, can you check if this issue is reproducible for you? Thanks a lot!

Smile Found a fix! Re: Booting Android deletes Playlists

Folks,

After some digging, I found a fix! ...or at least a work-around. Create an empty file called ".nomedia" in every folder where Android is deleting "playlist" files. This finally solved my problem of losing WeatherPanel layout (.wpl) files on every Android boot!

I think a .nomedia file tells Android's media scanner to ignore that folder. I'm not sure why Android is deleting playlists, or why it's not consistent across builds. Again though, adding .nomedia files solved my problem with this issue.

Re: Found a fix! Re: Booting Android deletes Playlists

Where did you find that?

Haven't given this too much attention lately, as it was inconsistent for me at best...

Hey, a workaround is a workaround. Let us know if it works guys!
