Sounds like a problem with permissions? Apps request permission to access the files, maybe you denied that on the first run.

Is this a new problem after an update or straight out the box?

I have a Sinotec (South Africa) which is modelled as A Skyworth something and I had this issue after the android 8 update.

Cannot read any files from external NTFS hard drives unless I used the built in media player (which was terrible). It also broke bluetooth audio volume controls.

I even contacted support and they were useless (told me it was a motherboard fault). I resorted to playing stuff over the network anyway and about 2 months later there was another update that fixed the audio. I dont know if it sorted the reading of ntfs as I I just view everything from netflix or stream from my pc via kodi
