Originally created by @Sacerdoss on GitHub (May 7, 2022).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download an audiobook and select/create a local media folder (grant storage permission)
  2. Audiobook downloads and displays/plays fine while the app is opened
  3. Close the app and restart.

Expected behaviour

  • Local Audiobooks in previously created library still playable

Actual behaviour

  • Local Audiobook cannot be played
  • Cover Image is not displaying anymore

Logcat when I try to issue a scan on the previously created media folder:

I'm seeing this issue on my Pixel 5a as well. Is this not a widespread/common issue? Is there something wrong with my folder location or something? My folder structure is below. I can listen on my phone to local files for a while, but via Android Auto it fails almost immediately.

I don't think it is a common issue this is the first I've heard of it. I don't have this issue on Pixel 6 Android 12

I have similar behaviour on LG V30 after restarting phone. In my case local books are stored in internal_storage/download/Audibookshelf

Scan / force rescan does not find any books. I need to remove this folder and select it from scratch - only then app finds them

I recently installed a fresh LineageOs (Android 11) same version on my new phone and thus had a fresh install of the audiobookplayer app.
The issue is not reproducable for me since then.

Might be that the problem is gone by uninstalling the app and installing it fresh.

Looks like the reinstall may have solved my issue as well. I'll check on AA later, but closing the app doesn't cause issues anymore.
