Description Jazzy Vidalia 2016-11-07 00:16:48 UTC
Using the latest KDE Connect from the Play Store I have incurred the following problem:


"Using KDE Connect to sync my music files from my computer to my phone, I noticed that the files would not show up in any music player unless I did a manual resync in the music player. However, a lot of music players do not have this option and I also noticed when deleting music the entries stayed despite the files no longer existing on the device.

This doesn't seem to be happening with other transfer methods. I have confirmed USB and Airdroid both do not seem to have this issue so I have isolated it to KDE Connect." (see Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/5bhrba/kde_connect_on_file_sync_issue_with_music_files/)


I received an answer back saying there might be a problem with either KDE Connect not using MediaScannerConnection in Android or this feature is broken: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaScannerConnection.html.  Properly utilizing this function would fix this issue.
