Can you play the videos? 

If so I think the album app take the first frame of the movie file and create a thumbnail. And the first frame usually is black in a movie.

Hi,

Same problem here, in Italy, with latest versions of album app on Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z, Z1 and Ultra.

Yes I can play videos, because it opens them in Movie app... and I understand your explanation about the first black frame... by the way previous versions of album app are used to display an album art for the movies.. like the movie poster, the one the movie is diplayed with on Video Unlimited, not a thumbnail.. it was nicer...

You can still do this: Main menu > Movies > Menu Button > Settings > Get Video Details.

Doesn't show some/many assets in My Albums> My SD Card. but only showing their thumbnails (images/videos), in my xperia z (album latest version 52A120).OS 4.2.2

Even if I changed the folder name, it still showing only thumbnails of its assets, not the files when I go in. Also, 1 moved one video inside this 'not showing' folder. This video is showing correctly, but not other files (yesterday the same were being shown).

Rebooting, Clearing data and cache not solving. I'm trying to find where does it store its cache in its folder structure? Any help?

I had the same problem before. I do this it help me . Hope to you guys too.

1) clear data at media storage(for all media). Setting->Apps->All->Media Storage.
2) reboot device for force it to rescan the media.
3) Album/Movie will back to normal, won't show thumbnail pic or misc video.
May take up some time.

Good luck.

Thanks for your solution buddy.

I found this very solution in another thread (See here.) and it solved my problem. But be wary, for a few minutes, it seems that you've lost everything in internal and external memory.

[zopfan]

Just an hour back, I thought, I've found a new way to delete the 'Media Storage'. I.e. I deleted internal memory> storage (or its subfolder named legacy/emulated).

BUT WHAT I DID! GOD! I DELETED/ERASED ALL MY EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD! SUCH A BLUNDER. NO WARNING, NOTHING! I GOT NO WARNING AND HAD JUST DELETED A SMALL FOLDER NAMED STORAGE (OR SOME OF ITS SUB FOLDERS NAMED LEGACY OR EMULATED). THAT'S ALL.

I NEVER THOUGHT ANDROID COULD DO THIS TO ME. IF IT WAS WINDOWS, IT WOULD HAVE WARNED ME 100S OF TIMES BEFORE TAKING SUCH A DRASTIC STEP.
