Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

FWIW, I listened to and rated the remaining 5 tracks on the album and tried another WiFi sync. This time it did the same thing where it said it updated 1 and downloaded 5 tracks. It's definitely doing the conversion so it seem to think there is a difference in the file that requires an update even t...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I submitted a ticket but don't think there's anything to act on. The files eventually transferred by a combination of USB and WiFi. It was far from smooth but all worked out. Then today I was listening to and rating some tracks on a new album and afterwards tried to sync MMA via WiFi. None of the fi...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I have no idea why this process was so difficult, but after many, MANY iterations, I now have a synced set on my phone. I created a ticket with the info I had collected but unfortunately there is likely nothing actionable for the support team to help make changes. https://i.postimg.cc/hvdBy6TN/Scree...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I tried a couple more times with USB and it appears that most of the list synced eventually after transcoding. I still have a set that refuses to sync for some reason but they play fine in MM5. When I try WiFi sync it just runs through the list of songs very quickly and pops a message saying "S...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I tried with WiFi last night hoping that if I just left it it would eventually work but it failed a couple times right away. I tried restarting the phone and computer but no help. I submitted the MMA log (BQ7IHUJ14). I'll create a ticket now and try debugview this morning. Since this is repeatable i...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I'm still looking into this and when I look at devices & services/<phone>/music I see around 441 tracks listed. I checked my database and it appears that I have 373 tracks rated as 4 or 5 stars. I did have a playlist for "recently added" synced but I don't think that completed. That li...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I've tried a few options now and the sync is spotty at best. I am not using wifi sync because it's a lot slower than USB (or so it seems). I tried syncing with what I believed would be the correct full set and MM5 complained that there was an error and MMA displayed a different error. I tried changi...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

That was my first thought so I plugged the phone into USB and tried to sync. It gave an error and would not proceed. I can get the message but as I recall it was related to no space. The card is 64GB and the card is reporting 233MB free. I'm sure it's less because the sync failed earlier which is ho...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I have been working on getting the media on my phone synced to my current database today. I was able to get the phone to sync with a new profile and it indicated "pairing media" at one point which appears to have linked everything as expected. I ended up with 185 tracks needing updating wh...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I can keep a backup DB which is a good idea either way. What I don't want is for it to mess with my files on the NAS since that requires finding all my CD's and extracting which is a much bigger pain.

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

Well, I'm not sure why but when I loaded MM5 with the stock db location it loaded instantly. When I put the location back to the NAS and restarted it loaded instantly, too. To confirm, I deleted the MM5.DB file in the default path and restarted. It still seems to be loading correctly so for whatever...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I copied the MM5.DB file to the default location and commented out the alternate path in the ini file. When I load MM5 it instantly sees all the files in the database. It appears MM5 isn't happy with the database location for some reason.

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

\\DS1511\Music-Ben\ is a valid path and "MM5.DB" is in that location. I'm pretty sure it worked fine when I installed MM5 on the PC a couple months back. For some reason it's not happy today. I could try coping the file to the default path and confirm that the database isn't just corrupt f...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

I was debating creating a new topic but this is probably small. I can't actually get MM5 to load my database right now to test anything. It says it's not available so I should create a new one. It's located on my NAS as I mentioned and I have the mediamonkey.ini file modified to add "DBName=\\D...

Re: Sync phone (MMA) to MM5

Right, but won't that potentially copy all the files from MMA back to MM5 since the source files are mostly FLAC and they have been transcoded to MP3 on the phone? Since MM5 doesn't seem to have the device anymore, I'm assuming it won't know that one track is the same as another when it's a differen...
