Portable Devices / Re: Something wrong with playlist syncing
« on: January 08, 2025, 12:42:18 AM »
I implemented the patch, this is what happened (all with relative paths, bc without it, nothing shows up besides sub-maps):
Syncing playlists as .m3u:
-Nothing shows up on phone's playlist player.
-Also no files when I check via PC.
-I can export the m3u files to desktop and then move them to phone, but, as always, I can only see the playlist content amount in file explorer, not in the playlist player (there it says it's an empty playlist).
As .m3u with sub-folders:
-Same as above, except the sub-folders show up with the right amount of songs, but no .m3u files.
As .PLA (I don't think I had this option before the patch?):
-The playlists show up, just like they originally did with the m3u sync: only the smaller playlists were complete, the rest is missing songs.
-The playlists are missing the exact same amounts of songs as before the last patch.
As .PLA with sub-folders:
-The playlists show up, the smaller ones the same as above, but the larger ones still have missing songs. I deleted everything, synced again and now they still have the same songs missing, but show every synced song twice, like the phone adds up the .PLA and .m3u or any combination with the sub-folders, yet still only so with the larger playlists, everything 74 songs and under -> still normal.
-Sub-folders have the right amount of songs if I check via PC.
.WPL:
-Doesn't show up, just like .m3u
I think I got it to work during one of the first tries when I used the .PLA container with sub-folders, but after I did other tests, I couldn't recreate it anymore...
And sub-folders wouldn't be a great solution since it nearly triples the memory size needed for the songs.

« on: January 07, 2025, 03:16:48 AM »I have found the MTP protocol is quite flaky on some android devices. As an experiment, i have added a small delay after the playlist is written to see if that helps

also could you check the error log for any entries that start with "Add playlist"
I have implemented the patch and still have the same problem: playlists only partly syncing.
I checked the %appdata% ErrorLog.dat , and it had no entry that started with "Add playlist".
Some other things I found on the forum, but also didn't work:
-Switching around "\" and "/" in the device options path names.
-Exporting the playlists as ".m3u8" in stead of ".m3u" files (then all the playlists were completely empty).
Could it be something with an arbitrary file amount limit? All my playlists with 74 songs or less are syncing correctly, yet:
My 200 one is stuck at 131
My 305 one is stuck at 230
My 966 one is stuck at 263

@Psychoadept what do you use to play the playlists on your phone? I use VLC for Android and have a similar problem:
I tried syncing playlists to my Samsung S10 and only half of them appeared complete on my phone (in VLC). For example: MusicBee has 200 songs in one of my PC playlists, my phone only showed 116.
After creating a new playlist and renaming it, but putting the same 200 songs in there, it synced more, but still not all. (131/200)
I repeated this test and it's still 131/200.
When I open the playlist on my PC with a text editor, it does show that all 200 paths to the files are there and are all the correct format.
When I view the playlist on my S10 as a file in VLC (so via the 'browse tab' in stead of 'playlists'), it says that there are 200 songs in there. (But I can't play it from there.)
Only when I look at the playlist on the 'playlists' tab, it says there are only 131 songs, and only shows that many when I press play.
I re-installed VLC on my phone, but it still has the same problem.
