Title: All podcast subscriptions in sync settings are weirdly named
Post by: DanishBugger on September 26, 2019, 10:56:53 PM
I get this annoying error in my podcast sync settings. It just shows some code, rather than the subscription name.
All of them are named #=zTfgjXA03iekRR7_Vo2i98W0=

It doesn't matter if I select "all" or "select". It does the same regardless of the card in question, formated or not, or whether or not it is done directly to the card or through the card inserted into my phone or music player.  I have tried removing all my "devices" in Musicbee, and set it up agian. I also reset Musicbee, yet it still prevails.

Anyone have any idea how to go about fixing this annoying error?

Edit:
I can't see the screen shot I linked to (via IMGUR)? I hope you can, it is a list of the same weird "code" repeated.

Edit 2:
Image appear to be broken somehow, so I'll try a direct links.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

Your screenshot wasn't working because it wasn't pointing at an image file (.png or .jpg) but just the imgur page. I fixed it.

Thanks - I use the Microsoft store version, so I didn't think to check for patches manually. But thank you very much! :)

You will need to change to either the Installer or Portable versions to be able to make use of the manual patches.

Thanks, I did just that after trying to figure out the store app and why I couldn't get access to the folder it was in. So much for automatic updates through the MS store app fixing things like this.

I also had to re-add the various devices and also format them  (and retransfer) before MusicBee would recognise them. But my files are now transferring and I can actually see the names of the podcasts now.

To be fair to MicroSoft, and I don't know why anyone would want to be, they have nothing to do with automatic updates other than supplying them when the developer makes them available. Steven has stated many times that the Store version of MB will always lag way behind the other two versions as far as updates go.

You made the right choice by ditching the Store version in favor of more frequent updates and flexibility.

I was talking about how Musicbee at one time advocated getting the App store version if you wanted automatic updates. I am just disappointed that a bug like that wasn't fixed (it has been going on for quite a while for me).

In any case, I am back to the manual thing.
