Bug ID: 515132
Summary: Add support for .nomedia files
Classification: Applications
Product: Elisa
Version First 25.08.3
Reported In:
Platform: Android
OS: Android 14.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On Android, there's a convention to add .nomedia files to directories that
should not be indexed by media players. Elisa does not seem to support this,
which means it's not possible to exclude non-media files from the automatic
indexing. (I grepped the source tree for "nomedia" and found no matches.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add music files to a folder that also contains a .nomedia file.
2. Run Elisa.
OBSERVED RESULT
The folder with .nomedia is indexed.
EXPECTED RESULT
The folder with .nomedia should not be indexed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android 16 (Pixel 8 Pro, BP4A.260105.004.E1)
Elisa 25.08.3 via F-Droid
[Android 16.x isn't listed in the OS dropdown so I selected the latest version
listed.]
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I also removed all paths from "Music folders" in Settings and added just
/sdcard/Music/, but it's still indexing other directories in /sdcard/. It seems
this is related to the Music and Audio permission; denying it seems to prevent
Elisa from indexing everything, even though I granted permission to
/sdcard/Music/ separately.
