Affected app version

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 14

Affected device model

OnePlus 9 Pro

How did you install the app?

GitHub releases

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. In a file management app, create a new directory and add to it files: .nomedia and any music file.
2. Open the file from the file management app in Music Player.

Expected behavior

The app should play the file.

Actual behavior

The app either:

• shows a blank playback screen like there would be no metadata and doesn't play anything
• plays another file from the device (from scannable directory)

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

The issue was originally shown in #111, but I decided to create a more generic bug report.

Also, the app behaves the same in a very niche scenario:

1. Install the app, but don't run it (or run, but don't grant the media permission).
2. From a file management app, open a music file (from any directory) in Music Player.

for me this isn't a bug but yes a feature, because i use this to manually hide folders that arent music. i personally don't want it to be removed, so i think it can be turned into a option that would be Activated or deactivated

As I understand, this bug report isn't about adding .nomedia directories to the Music Player, but to be able to play those files via intent (what means you navigate to that file via a File Manager and open it in Music Player). It would be strange to lock such possibility via setting.

changing from toMediaItemsFast to toMediaItems works and fixes the issue. What do you think?

That would make the app slow and possibly cause ANRs with large queues.
