Glad that sync is working!

Can you tell me what device / version of Android you're using (we'd like to examine the permissions issue a bit more to find out why it's being reset)?

Thanks!

For long filenames, I renamed them to less than 100 characters, but found that some filenames still did not copy properly.

And I found that the mma battery option is gone.

Hi,
Can you please copy/paste your filename mask page from device profile options?
Maybe MM truncate path+filename on sync.

It's resolved.
Reduced the total number of characters in the original file path.
After syncing, the file name was copied correctly.

I don't know what the maximum total path length and filename length are in Android, but I think this was causing the problem.
thanks

Hi,
Glad to that you sorted, but as we do not know the reason and cause and could not replicate your exact playback issue.

I've created https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19758 for further investigation due the fact that I have been able to replicate your filename and path truncate, but not observed any playback issues.

I deliberately used Classical music for testing due the longer Title names so that it easily goes off 250 chars. Steps I used are:
1. Set Mask to "\Classical Music\<Album>\<Conductor>\<Album Artist>\<Title>\<Title> - <Artist>"
2. Sync -> check full path = 259 Chars
3. Ensure it plays in MMA
4. Delete track in MMA
5. Set Mask to"\Classical Music\<Album>\<Composer>\<Conductor>\<Album Artist>\<Title>\<Title> - <Artist>"
6. Sync -> check full path = 203 Chars
7. Ensure it plays in MMA

Only difference is that I used internal build 1064, but there was no changes regarding syncing and naming so 1063 should behave same.

Thank you for patience and all the help you provided in order to get to bottom of this and improve MMA experience.
Best regards,
Peke

Hi,
UPDATE: Issue you observe with truncated paths is actually designed feature to prevent issues and to overcome path lenghts limitations on some devices during syncing.

https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19758 is updated and we are wortking on possible fix for the future versions of MM5
