[REQ] iTunes XML & 2-Way sync [#21002]

[MagGyver]

Ludek,
Thank you for implementing this. I have installed it in v5.0.4.2692 and found the commit dialog to be intuitive, although it would be great if there was a way to configure the filename and location as a set option so I don't have to browse to the designated folder each time I want to export.
However, after 5 minutes, the library is still exporting, and it never used to take this long in the previous v4 iteration. I have 13000 files and maybe 200 playlists. The status bar along the bottom shows "Exporting (filename and path)" but I see no colored status bar along with it so I have no way to tell if it's incrementally progressing or not. I'll leave it open for another 15 minutes but I don't think it should be taking that long...?

Update: after 15 more minutes, there was still no advancement of the status bar. I terminated the process, closed MM5, waited a few seconds and reopened, where I can confirm the status bar is working properly for other tasks.

If you need a log file to examine, please advise.

Hmm,
you seem to be right, it does not work with 5.0.4 builds, only with latest 5.1.0+ builds and 2024 builds..

I'll look why it does not work with 5.0.4 -- although it is probably seamless, because we are going to release it as bundled addon with the newest builds..

EDIT:
ok, I added one new function to the API, so yes, you will need to install 3021 build ( https://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/MediaM ... _Debug.exe ) plus the addon installed from my DropBox link

Success! It worked as expected on 3021 and took about the same amount of time as it used to on v4.

Thank you for your quick response.

Would you please modify this feature to re-create the folder structure with the MM5 playlists in the "iTunes.xml" file? The old MM4 script "export to iTunes.xml" does this. To be more specific, don't append the folder name(s) to the front of the playlist name and re-create the playlist folder hierarchy in the iTunes.xml file. This is the very last thing that I am still using MM4 to do - export to iTunes.

Hi,
OK, I added it as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=21002 for future features.

When trying to use this export function, the export starts fine but hangs and will not finish. On my machine it stops at 94950 of 148650 files.

Using Windows 10 Pro, Lifetime Gold MMW5 license.

Tried the export with MediaMonkey_2024.0.0.3027_Debug and also with MediaMonkey_2024.0.0.3033_Debug. Both versions had the same result. Neither version resulted in any kind of error, all other features worked fine during this time period, the export just appears to stall at some point.

Hi,
My best guess would be to start DBGview around 80k and send us Zipped log in Ticket.

95k in iTunes XML I hope you have fast PC. For me last time I checked iTunes Behavior I could not go over 35k without big big lag , crashes and freeze.

Hi,
FYI https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view ... 002#c77948 is further improved in MM 2024.1.0.3103+ so it supports playlist hierarchy.
