Specific Media Folder

Per default, the whole user folder is searched for available MIME types and all audio files are indexed within Audio Player.

Include Selection

To specify a dedicated folder of audio files, please go to the settings, located in the hideable navigation on the left. In folder selection, a single folder for indexing can be specified.
It is also possible to re-select the root folder to have all folders in your cloud searched by Audio Player for supported audio files. To do this, select the home icon in folder selection.

Exclude Selection

To exclude a folder, you have to create a .noaudio file (empty file with just that name – no other ending) inside that folder. This is also necessary in subfolders, to exclude them.

Hints

  • The file can be created via the + button of the Files app. Please take care that the default ending of .txt is removed during the creation.
  • Per default, these kind of files are hidden in the Files app. They can be shown by enabling the checkbox within the settings of the Files app (please click the gear icon in the left lower corner of Files).

External Storage

Audio Player does not search for titles on file level.
Only these files can be indexed, which are already "known" to Nextcloud or ownCloud (indexed in the *PREFIX*filecache table, because of the MIME type filter required).
If a new external storage is connected, either the folders need to be navigated once or occ files:scan needs to be executed to populate all files.

Attention: WebDAV is not recommended due to performance limitations.
