Just updated to v 5.2.34 and now Rocket Player is not showing any of the files in the music folder, despite the folder being selected when viewed in the select folders for library window. I have reinstalled the app and also cleared the cache on the Android Media Storage app but on opening the app it just shows the add music window. App was working fine before the update.

There are no known issues for this. Can you try unselecting and reselecting the "Music" folder? That'll make sure all sub folders are selected as well.

Tried that, I have another folder with sound files in and if I select that RP will search, find and list the files. Switch back to the music folder nothing. Files are still there because I can see them in my file manager and get RP to play files by clicking on them.

Oh, another reason this happens is ".NOMEDIA" file. Can you try turning on "Ignore .NOMEDIA" file in the Rocket Player settings?

Here is some more information on a .NOMEDIA file.
