I received my lovely new Tangera player but having a little trouble that I wanted to run by others.  

SD card has ~10 MP3 VBR files in the top level directory, no sub directories. When my player boots with a card or I insert one, I get the message "no compatible media was found on your SD Card." however I can browse and see the files. When I select a file and hit the play button, the plays but stops at its end, and doesn't play the next one in the list. When connected via USBC and enable USB storage, my Mac hangs until I physically disconnect. 

I'm running ESP32 1.0.1 which I flashed hoping to address this problem, however no change.

I got the same "no compatible media" message when I copied a few Flac files as well. I've tried SD and microSD cards, FAT and ExFat format.
 
It's probably unlikely that on release day anyone else has encountered this behavior. Any thoughts on what else to look at?

Thanks!

Hi!

Could you try placing your music within a "Music/" directory in the root of your SD card? When your tracks aren't in a top-level directory we do our best to guess at the types of tracks that we're dealing with (music/podcasts/audiobooks) but depending on how your tracks are tagged this doesn't always work.

Hey @ailurux WDYT about defaulting to treating everything as music when there's no top-level directories? I know this is something we discussed previously but I forget why we decided against it.

Hi Jacqueline - That solved my issue. I feel like I should have been able to figure that out myself, but hey I also learned how to update my firmware.

Thank you!

I’m getting the same issue — I have an ExFAT formatted 512GB SD card where I put music converted from beets in a "Music/" directory at the root of the card. It has about 500MB of music on it.

When I plug in the card, the Tangara becomes extremely sluggish, and I see nothing if I try to look in the files. If I reformat the card and just put a .txt file at the root, I can’t see that in the Files view either.

How else can I debug this? Are cards of this size unsupported?

If there's errors reading the files, that might show up in the log output, but it would require you to be running a dev build with `idf.py monitor` running and connected to the device. That would probably be the best starting point to try and debug this.

Just to check, the text file wasn't literally named ".txt" was it? Anything starting with a '.' is a hidden file and won't show up in the file browser. Otherwise, it should be visible in the file browser. If no files are showing up at all it would imply that there's some error trying to read from the sd card in this case (though the size shouldn't be the issue afaik)
