nVidia Shield
JimH:
What happens if you try to play local files?
Did you try a Google search?
GreggP:
I connected an external 14 TB drive via USB to my Shield.
JRiver for Android lists it as 'EA2CA3762CA33C87'
When I use my remote to navigate, I can get to
/storage/EA2CA3762CA33C87/Music
Inside this folder, there are lots of subfolders for artist/album, organized the same as I have it on my PC. I can navigate down to individual songs but I assume the import function can find them from the parent folder.
JRiver for Android is not importing anything.
What am I doing wrong?
JimH:
Could you just put a few FLAC files on the Shield and test playback?
GreggP:
Sure, how?
Like I said, I attached the external drive. JRiver sees it, and I tried to import some music files. It doesn't work.
I also copied a few FLAC files from the external drive to the Shield's internal storage folder named music. Still won't import from there. I can display the individual tracks but this app isn't letting me import individual files.
I'm clearly missing something very fundamental. What is it?
BTW, I get the message "Import files from /storage/emulated/0/Music?"
I select CONFIRM and the message 'importing...' flashes briefly on the bottom of the screen. Then it goes back to a previous navigation screen showing both Internal Storage and my external USB drive. After navigating back to the main UI and up to Audio, when I pick one of the buttons, like Artist, the message "View is Empty" flashes on my screen.
JimH:
No idea what this problem is. I'm just asking you to test local files. Can't you put a couple on a USB stick?
Try a Google search on sound problems. I found some discussion on Nvidia's forum.
