Not Media Player at main profile but there's one at other Profiles?

[deleted]

When I try to open a media file (by example a OGG file) from Files app system doesn't opens it due to no one Media Player is provided with GrapheneOS (?) but when I try to open the same file, with same app, from other profile than the main profile, a popup is displayed and the file is played. How is that possible and how I can have this Media Player at main profile?
Thanks

[deleted] Is it possible that "Android Open Source Music Player" has had some permissions revoked in the main profile?

[deleted]

Nope. App permissions tok read photos, videos anda audio files are granted in both profiles

de0u

[deleted] Then I'm out of ideas, unfortunately. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable can chime in.

de0u I have tried "Root explorer" app then tried to "Open with" an OGG file then select "Android Open Source Music Player" then the file has been played using a popup (like in not main profiles) but seems to me the file association is not done in main profile and I don't know why.
Can you try if AOSMP opens OGG/MP3 files for you in main profile?
Thanks

Well, I be partially done with that...
The app that opens the media files is Android Open Source Media Player, and is available in all profiles but ONLY opens files in a profile if no any other media player is installed.
The main problem with that is the following:

I have installed Auxio as my media player
I'm using storage scopes iwth that app to only allow to access files at /sdcard/Music
When I try to open a media file in other folder system doesn't detects it and opens Auxio, that isn't capable to access this file.
Is there any way to allow Android Open Source Media Player to open files even if other media player app is installed?

Good finding! I think the next step is filing an issue on GitHub.

[deleted] the simplest solution would be, don't give Auxio storage scopes, it doesn't use network and chances of IPC are ridiculously small. Just give it access to media as it requests.

de0u Done! https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/2941

[deleted] That looks reasonable to me. Note that the issue may persist for some time (it's a genuine annoyance, but not a crash or a vulnerability). Please note that I do not speak for the GrapheneOS project.

[deleted] isn't a real solution to me due to I have a lot of MP3 files in other folders that I want not be treated as Music

[deleted]

[deleted] for that you can in Auxio go to Settings > Library > Music folders.

Then it will only see music in folders you specify, you don't need to use storage scopes for that.

[deleted]

[deleted] Yes, but in that case it can't play the files in that folders when you call from other apps if I'm not wrong

[deleted]

[deleted] you don't have to open music just by tapping on it. There is also [three dots] > Open with. Sorry, if I can't help but at least I tried.

[deleted]

[deleted] I appreciate your effors.
I use Root Explorer app (I don't have rooted the device but I have buy this app years ago) and it has the option to "open with" and I can select AOSMP (that's fine) but stock files app doesn't allows to select it (even if it has the option to "open with" but I only will select Auxio)

[deleted]

[deleted] I use Total Commander and I also get offered to use AOSMP. Files just won't do that. Anyway, thanks for suggestion. I will now be using Auxio for a while. TCmd has built-in features for playing music, just not so nice to look at :)
