@domubpkm interesting, i thought it was a general issue. But if not, it may be harder to spot it.
https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1766

So you are able to export to music app and be able to read them ?

[domubpkm]

@lduboeuf As i said, i can open a wav attached dekko file with music and read it (not read directly as a preview, but by pressing the play button).

@domubpkm
Doesn't work for me (xperiax arm64).
Wonder what can be the difference.
When looked into the issue, i've noticed a content-hub issue due to an apparmor policy. would it mean that Volla have a different layer of security ?

If i look at mediascanner logs, i see :
something like that:
New File was created:...
Extracting metadata:...
Added song to backing store:...
File was deleted: ....
New File was created
Error when adding new file

Do you have that workflow ?

[domubpkm]

@lduboeuf You are right : in fact it doesn't work on the Volla too ! I really thought it worked but no : music app open on the previously read wav file that's why i thought it worked. So forget everything i said, sorry !

Music app doesn't "see"/find the .wav file when clicking on the .wav attachment. Music app tells: "no music found...", while the "spinning wheel" continues.
However I can read the file when storing it somewhere with the filemanager and open it then...But that's not the intended behaviour.

Don't know if it's related to the gitlab content hub issue, but i noticed some time ago that if i try to open a video file (created by camera) from file manager with multimedia player app, then multimedia app launch and it spins forever.

Opening same video file directly from multimedia player app works.

[lduboeuf]

@keneda that could be related yes.
Content-Hub use a method to move a file, that method fails due to an apparmor restriction and makes media-scanner fails.

Now we need to wait for 20.04...

Meanwhile for the .wav, playing them with dj-turntable works...

Well, i think my MX4 will wait forever...

[lduboeuf]

@keneda oh, true, i need to tell that to the team

So hotfix could be "sudo ubports-qa install PR_content-hub_10" ( RC or devel only )

[Keneda]

@lduboeuf
I'm on stable, and maybe go RC if needed when support dropped for MX4, but thanks.

[lduboeuf]

@keneda i will try with a c++ xenial compatible code if it work i will report it here if successfull

[lduboeuf]

@keneda i've done something that should be ok with xenial. I will try to push it to the Team for OTA-24
That would need an update of music app too.

Works for me! Thank you for the solution!
The attached .wav files are copied into the "phablet/home/music/imported folder" correctly and then can be played by the Music-app. The first time when I tap on the attachment, the .wav file isn't opened. The spinning wheel continues (possibly, the first tapping does the copy into the "music"-folder?) then I have to close dekko. When re-opening dekko and repeat tapping, the wav file is flawlessly played, leaving two identic files inside the music folder etc.
In the future, maybe, Music-app will allow directly deleting these files from inside the app...
But I am happy with this solution in the moment.
Thanks again!

@uwahl i've changes a bit things, now it is harder because you would have to install MR 18 from content-hub and #68 from music app...
Tested yesterday, it seems to work

[domubpkm]

@lduboeuf Hello ! To summarize:

sudo ubports-qa install PR_content-hub_18
and after
sudo ubports-qa install PR_music-app_68

Is this correct before testing ?

Do you think or know if the PR_music-app_68 be persistent after a reboot of the smartphone because there is currently a problem of non persistence of the playback feature of one title in loop after a reboot (see inside a comment of issue 85 music app), but maybe not related to music-app.

Unfortunately we can't install a PR like this for music-app, you can checkout the PR and run clickable, but i admit more painful...

@domubpkm Found a link to the music-app that CI has built: https://gitlab.com/lduboeuf/music-app/-/jobs/2215802697/artifacts/download?file_type=archive

EDIT: humm i'm afraid that way will not work because of the same version of the app.
I propose you to wait some weeks...
