I installed MMW 1616 this morning, and my first attempt at finding a sync server with MMA 87 succeeded immediately.
Searching for UPnP servers, again, all available servers were immediately populated.

But since one of those servers, the Synology NAS, has nothing to do with MMW, I'm thinking there might be another reason for the improved discovery. Specifically, the entire computer system was powered down last night, including the modem/router and the NAS.

MMW 1615, MMA 87, I'm getting the same unreliable server search, whether looking for a sync server or a UPnP server. I just tried this, and after failure, hit the "send debug log" option, and it said logs have been uploaded.

MMW 1614, MMA 80, with a completely new Android installation

I see a slightly longer timeout and the word "searching" instead of "no devices found" but the behavior's not much better.

Searching for sync server took several attempts but finally did locate the server. During the "analyzing list" portion, MMW was taking 95% CPU (dual-core 2.5GHz machine) for a couple minutes, with only about ten albums selected for sync. Now it's actually synching, which includes FLAC->MP3 conversion, which makes more sense that it'd take 95% CPU.


First try searching for UPnP servers located the NAS but not MMW, then suddenly reverted to no entries and "Searching..." It seemed the timeout here was quite a bit longer than earlier builds.

Yep - I have managed to sync via usb so that will do for now thanks. I'll wait for the full blown app when it is ready - thanks for your help

Did you upgrade MMW to 1613 and MMA to 0080?

I have installed the latest versions and now when I try and sync my S3 shows "searching" but no mm server is found and it asks me to download the latest MM to my PC. I can see MM is enabled in my firewall and the S3 is shown as connected through the wireless router so I do not know where the problem lies. Any ideas?

I have done a clean install of the new versions but still get the same problem "no devices found" - any ideas?

Re:
Both are old versions. MMW is at build 1610 and MMA is at build 0075.
I have installed the latest versions but still get "no devices found" when attempting to sync. Driving me nuts!

Thank you. Please could you advise where I can download the latest versions and subscribe to updates?

Which version of MediaMonkey for Android (MMA) and MediaMonkey for Windows (MMW) are you using?

No Devices Found

I am using MMA on a Samsung Galaxy S3 but when I try and sync I get "no devices found". I can see MM in the firewall but MMA cannot find the MMserver. please advise. Thanks

I kept playing around with MMA and finally established a UPnP connection to the MMW UPnP server, and also to the Synology NAS UPnP server, simply by trying and trying and trying again. (Altho, after I'd browsed the MMW server, the app dropped the Synology entry.)

So I started trying and trying and trying again with the sync server discovery, and finally it found it. I was surprised to see that the connection was established on the same port as the UPnP server, since there are two ports listening: 50973 is the UPnP server and 57710 is the other listener.

This appears to be a timeout issue. Developers, you need two changes here: the discovery process should run in the background for a long time (at least five minutes, I'd say); and the UI needs to adequately show what's going on. Instead of "<no devices found>" and a "No servers found" error message that cuts off discovery, the UI should show "discovery in process" or some such until you have well and truly given up.


Anyway, I've finally been able to set up some sync parameters and am trying it now. It's a slow process: I had a bunch of files there already via WinAmp USB sync, and I'm telling MM to discard all of those so I can start with a fresh slate. Ooo -- "analysis" just ended and "deleting" is in process.
