Android: Access to media files [#20007]

Post by CVDK »

Hi, I am using a Samsung S22 FE and as of today I can't access the app any longer. Whenever I open it, it immediately says: "to use media monkey please give it access to your media files".
I can only choose exit and continue. Exit just closes the app and with continue nothing happens.
I checked the general settings and MM does have access to alle media files (photos, videos, music and audio) so now I am stuck. How can I solve this?

Thanks for your adive,
Chris

Hi,
Please upgrade to latest MMA 2.0 version by going to ⋮ -> About MediaMonkey -> Register for beta testing and follow steps till it show upgrade in Play store.

It should fix all of your problems.

Same problem as CVDK - upgrading to beta version did NOT correct the problem

Yes, uninstall and reinstall worked for me also. Be sure to keep music files when uninstalling.

Thanks for the feedback and clues--using them we were able to replicate this issue by rejecting the prompt to grant permissions.

Your workaround works fine, but we hope to fix it nonetheless. Tracking at:

EDIT--this issue has been fixed in build 1080.
