When adding a virtual folder the track tags do not appear in the podcast list
I have a number of downloaded podcasts as mp3 files, but the track names do not appear in the playlist or player (only the filename appears). The track tags are ignored.
This is already done. In case of virtual podcasts I extrat the file metadata to display it in the app.
If you want more information on the process I’m using: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaMetadataRetriever.html
The key that stores the title is called: METADATA_KEY_TITLE

Which metatag do you use for the description? I am using a virtual folder and everything shows fine except for the description.

The path is: /storage/extSdCard/did/1378194054075ipp32_dida60_19600523-1310a.mp3

Then it's a ROM issue because it works fine on my device. All the TAG extraction is done by default Android API calls. If those calls return nothing for the exact same file, then there's nothing I can do.
Maybe if you used special character in the folder path it might explain some issue ? can you please send me the exact full path of the stored file so I can do the exact same test ? -

Here is a link to a file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60772029/1378194058572ipp64_dida75_19740316-1900b.mp3
They are BBC podcasts and show up with the filename ("1378194058572ipp64_dida75_19740316-1900b.mp3") instead of the title. I cannot work out how to take a screenshot of my mobile.
Thanks! Dave. -
There's nothing to do except selecting a folder, nothing you can have done wrong.
Can you please share one of those files with me so I can do some testing ? Can you also send me a screenshot of those files display within podcast addict ?Thanks

Hi Xavier, I must have done something wrong on the import as Google Music correctly identifies the tracks from the tags. Is there a way to re-import them? Dave
