Hello @nesper8! I'm here to help you with any issues you encounter. Let's tackle this together!

The issue you're experiencing, where Rune does not advance after selecting a media directory, might be related to how the application handles directory permissions and access. Although specific details about directory selection logic are not available, the application does have logging and error handling that could provide insights into why the page does not advance. The logging is implemented using the log crate, and logs can be enabled with the --enable-log argument, which might help diagnose the issue by providing detailed logs of the application's operations and any errors encountered ^[1][2].

You might want to check the logs for any errors or warnings that occur when you attempt to select a directory. This could provide clues about what might be going wrong. Additionally, ensure that the application has the necessary permissions to access the media directory on your device.

To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.

As the file name and readme suggest, the Android version is not feature-complete and is still under active development. Thank you for your interest and support!

on my HiBy M300, I can proceed if I choose the Music folder on the internal storage. Choosing the Music folder on the microSD card does not let me proceed. It also doesn't add it as an extra library when I add a library within settings.

edit: Other music players do not have issues accessing the microSD card.
I've tested the latest stable and latest pre-release, and the latest pre-release does ask permission to access files, but the latest stable does not. Still isn't able to access the external storage.

Yes, this is a known issue. The reason is that the Rust part hasn't yet completed handling file system permissions. This is quite complex, and we are still working on it.

Mind if I keep this open until you guys are ready?

Sure, let's keep it open!

I am getting this error after allowing access to music folder and selecting local hard drive

@dheemanthm2003 As it's shown in the README, android builds are highly experimental. All fs related things are still buggy, we are finding solution to integrate Rust and Android correctly.
