Hi,

How to play those with media player?

Why? Move them to the assets folder.

This is a mistake. In B4A you should use the assets folder.

Is there any way assets folder like res folder additional?
Like:

res:

#AdditionalRes: ..\res

not that @Erel needs my help, but you should do what he says.

this is how you do it:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/organizing-dirassets.26789/#post-154946

you can have sub-folders and sub-folders of sub-folders with dirassets. no problem. plus
you can access the files by name. with res/raw, you need the resource id.

per google documentation:
"... if you need access to original file names and file hierarchy, you might consider saving
some resources in the assets/ directory (instead of res/raw/). Files in assets/ aren't given
a resource ID, so you can read them only using AssetManager."

Yes, I access the files by name.
But in media player not support this directory.

"Add Group" does NOT add a "disk" folder, it just creates a "visual" folder for you to "visually" organize your files into different groups.

I want disk folder.
In dirassets cannot be created disk folder.
