ID3 metadata not correctly read by media library when audio is stored on external microSD
Android VLC 3.2.11 is not able to correctly scrape mp3 metadata when the audio is stored on external microSD storage. As soon as the audio is moved to internal storage, metadata is correctly scraped and different songs are shown correctly in the media library. This is not a hardware issue as the audio files are still perfectly playable on external microSD storage, just artist and other info is missing in the library and a 3disc mp3 cd is only partially shown under the real artist in the library.
Should be easy to reproduce by moving mp3 files from internal to external storage. Enclosed log when mp3 folder was on external storage and a log when mp3 folder was on internal storage.
vlc_logcat_20200412_210246.log >>> external storage, only half of the songs correctly shown based upon id3 metadata
vlc_logcat_20200412_210756.log >>> internal storage, all of the songs correctly shown based upon id3 metadata
