Did it! Yes baby! So to the question [quote="LePetitPunk"] There's either something I'm not getting or some kind of problem with my (old and crappy) phone...[/quote], the answer was... The seat! (me...) So, I was setting up everything up properly, however I didn't realized until now that the xml file in the phone wasn't automatically updated by PlayerPro. So after my listening period, I had to go to settings again and export my database into songbird again. It doesn't explained why the the ratings were being sync and not the playcount (I would have expect none of them to sync if I didn't export the library to songbird), but it's working and that's what matters to me. I'll just have to export the library on my phone EVERYTIME I want to sync, which I didn't expect. But still way better than doing it by hand! Thanks a lot for your help, you may think you didn't do much, but you ask me the right questions and make me think the right way!

As a follow up, I retried the whole process you describe under "android devices" after having changed my phone from French to English and using only the syncing feature of MM to transfer my music. I still get the same problem, only the ratings are being sync. The playcount, skip count and last played are not being updated. There's either something I'm not getting or some kind of problem with my (old and crappy) phone...

Yes, I've followed your instructions to the letter, and multiple times... As I said, the ratings ARE syncing, just not the playcount. So something is working. I'll had more questions or ideas, maybe it will help you diagnose the problem.

Does it matters how I import the music on my phone? I use to go strait in the library, right clic and send to my device or do I HAVE to use the syncing feature of MM. I've tried both, and both were giving the same results, however I've could have done better the auto-sync feature (I'll try it tomorrow).

My phone is in french, could it cause trouble?

When I've set up the d_USBMass*.dll instead of d_WMDM.dll, I didn't write a drive label because I don't know what it is. In MM, it just writes "New Device (H:)". Could it be a problem?

Thanks again for your help, I'm actually obsessed with play count, I've been working on finding ways to manage them for years now and I have a feeling it might be it with your code.

Did you export the statistics from PlayerPro? Please see the instructions in the first post, under "Android devices".

Hello,

Thanks for your script, it looks like exactly what I need. Sadly however, it doesn't work for me yet. I've tried and retried, and I feel that I'm getting there, but not quite yet. I'm able to sink my ratings, but not the play counts (which is what I'm interested in). In player pro, I can see the proper play count (the one from MM + the one that I just played on the device) but it doesn't sync it. When I plug my device and start the sync back ratings, it goes to the process and a window popup saying: "please import statistics in playerpro (10 tracks ...". Then : "Rating (1), play count (0), skip count (0), ..." (but I should have one playcount and multiple skip count). and then the name of the song I rated (but only that one, the the song I've played or skipped).

Does my problem ring a bell? What kind of information more would you need from me to help me?

I have a LG eclyspe with android 2.3.6. My player pro version is the trial (I want to test before buying) and I have the last version of MM (4.0.7.1511)

If you're able to help me, I would greatly appreciate, I understand it's hard to provide support for the world... :wink:

The day and month name doesn't matter, the XML only has to start with "exported_" and to end with "_songbird.xml".

Could you please activate the debug log and send me a PM with it?

In my case, MM coudln't find any updated track. So i tried import xml addon(http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=68137&p=352389) and solved that problem.
I think my Android don't use English locale, so my xml file name has some differencies. Day name and month name are not Mon and Mar but 월, 3월(in Korean).
Anyone suffering from same problem, you have to
1. modify script file
or
2. use another addon(ex http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=68137&p=352389).
or
3. modify your xml file name every time you sync
or
4. Use Android in English

I've had the same issue where it doesn't see all the songs, usually only sees as many as the last autosync. when I look in the devicetracks table in the database I would see the same number that the script sees (usually a low number like 100 instead of the 3000 I expect).. The only way I could get it to fix it was to delete the entries in the table, delete the songs off of my android and autosync again.

I think its a mediamonkey issue though. I found a few threads talking about it, but they only listed the fix, not what causes it to happen. I keep about 3000 songs on my phone and its very painful when it happens.

2 problems for me :

1/ the sync back rating takes forever to list all the songs on my s3 (about 5 minutes for 1900 songs)

2/ its not taking into account the last modifications i made, like it doesnt see most of the songs (it says that there is only 150)

edit : yes indeed, it sees only the songs of the last autosync

Awesome, I would have never noticed that. Since you made the last set of changes in the 1.9.1 version the accuracy went way up for me and I am catching most of what's left using the case fix script for Media Monkey and some careful file renaming. Great Job.

Somehow your music node is lower case on your device, but upper case in the MM settings.
I've updated the script to ignore that. :) Always this case stuff :wink:

Everything was working great with new version but today I'm getting "Music node 'music' cannot be found'..
AUtosync is working fine, the devices are set as usb drives and I see a "music" node under both..

The new version improves matching of the songs in the XML file besides some other small improvements.

Thanks for this script, it allows me to use my S3 like i used to use my iphone (thought its a mess, where i only had to plug my iphone i now have to open an UMS app on the phone, use settings in mediamonkey, click, click again... and then again UMS to deactivate UMS..)

It seriously makes you wanna throw android by the window and get back to iOS, which is seriously sad..
