[antoinefotso]

This package work well but Is there anyway to get music genre?

[marf]

Hello, with latest commit I should have added genreId and genreName for audio files. Please let me know if it works!

[antoinefotso]

@marf i used yarn add react-native-mediastore and i it still installing old version in node_modules (0.1.0) without genre and genre_id

[marf]

@antoinefotso now we should have published 0.1.1 with the genres

[antoinefotso]

@marf i got error for this new version

@antoinefotso we fixed the bug, but unfortunately, we canno't retrieve genre from music files.

To do so I suggest you something like this:

MediaMetadataRetriever mr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();

Uri trackUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
    android.provider.MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,song_id);

mr.setDataSource(mContext, trackUri);

String thisGenre = mr.extractMetadata(MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_GENRE);

If you find some solution and could patch the code to get the GENRE directly from the query of media store medias please let us know and we will accept a PR :)
