Bug Reports / Re: Error when jumping to letter on certain "Artists" fields

« on: September 24, 2020, 03:05:52 AM »

1. Add one of the following columns to your song list

what exactly do you mean by "song list"? The Now Playing panel? The Library? A playlist?

You should update to the latest patch version and try again.

By song list, I mean the library or a playlist. Basically, anywhere you can add those column fields. Here is a picture of what I'm referring to:

      

I just downloaded the latest patch from your signature, but the problem persists. Here is a new error:

Bug Reports / Error when jumping to letter on certain "Artists" fields

« on: September 24, 2020, 02:15:51 AM »

MusicBee gives an error whenever I try to use my keyboard or the A-Z jumpbar to skip to navigate the song list.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add one of the following columns to your song list: (a) Artists: Artist, (b) Artists: Guest, or (c) Artists: Performer. The problem does not occur with (d) Artists: Remixer or (e) Artists: Remixer.

2. Click the column header to sort the list.

3. Type a character or use the A-Z jumpbar.

No plans sorry, I don't have much time right now. But even if I did it would not look like the images.

You can try this other skin tho

No prob. And the one you linked is what I currently use 😉

Thanks. Yeah, this and maybe a play all and shuffle all buttons next to the number of tracks would come in handy as well (should have added those in the mockup).

I have some ideas for other tabs and elements too, I'll see if I can do them later.

These look great! Any plans to turn them into actual skins? I'd especially like to use the dark one.

MusicBee Wishlist / Match album art settings when syncing (embedded vs. folder depending on track)

« on: June 02, 2020, 11:06:40 PM »

I would like a new option under the "artwork storage" section when syncing my phone to preserve the settings from each individual track, meaning that if I have the album art embedded in the file (for song not part of any album), it will sync those songs with the art embedded. However, if I have the art in the folder instead of embedded (as I do for albums), it will copy just those files over and put their associated art in the folder.

As the syncing is now, you have to either embed everything or put the art in a folder for everything.

This would be helpful because embedding art increases the file size, and my phone is have 4 GB left of its 64 GB capacity.

I'm not home to test, but I don't think I waited a full minute. Maybe close to it, but I stopped it once I figured something was up and never saw a message.

Portable Devices / Re: Wifi android device synching

« on: May 19, 2019, 04:08:23 PM »

However please report any issues with the existing app to see if I can fix them

1. I think an error message should show when trying to reverse sync using GoneMAD's trial (non-paid) version because backup isn't available in that. I switched ROMs last week and MB would attempt to sync indefinitely without showing any of pending tracks or anything. It wasn't until I disabled reverse sync that it worked, and then I noticed I didn't reinstall GoneMAD's pro key. Reverse sync worked fine after that.

2. The confirmation message that appears at the bottom of the screen when a sync finishes cuts off most of the Sync More button. I either have to wait a few seconds for it to disappear or press the very top of the button. Could you move the notification or Sync More button to a higher location so it'll be easier to press?

Portable Devices / Re: One file keeps resyncing

« on: May 02, 2019, 12:24:39 AM »

I noticed on the wifi sync that one file keeps deleting/copying over and over again, even if I had just synced it. Right now it's the ONLY one, everything else is fine. I tested with a wired sync and got the same result. The date for last modified is 4-12-19.

I use "preserve folders and filenames" and just made some changes to my organization templates, so perhaps that's related. But I have plenty of other tracks with similar album/track names, so I'm not sure why this one would be different.

I have the same/a similar issue, but instead of a song that keeps syncing, it's a playlist. A week or so ago when I was testing for the "preserve folders and filenames" bug, I enabled the "preserve" option, changed the sync folder to a different one so it wouldn't interfere with my library, and then synced a Test.m3u playlist with a few tracks.

After my tests, I reverted the settings back to what I normally use and MusicBee deleted what isn't in the sync profile. To this day, I briefly see "Deleting Music/Unrated.m3u" (I later tested again with this playlist) for each sync, although that playlist doesn't exist on my phone or sync profile anymore. This doesn't break anything, though.

Even on the latest version of the app and the MusicBee patch from above, it doesn't appear in the error logs.

Steven, I'd like to make a request if it's not already planned:

Could you move the reverse sync options to the settings menu and then make it so we only need to perform a single (regular) sync to add/remove music and update playcounts and ratings?

It isn't hard to understand how the regular and reverse sync both work, but it feels like having them separated is more complicated than it needs to be.

Portable Devices / Re: Wifi android device synching

« on: April 21, 2019, 10:17:07 PM »

could you run this debug version of MB - unzip and replace musicbee.exe

https://www.mediafire.com/file/k8pkr4y8a9d9g7v/MusicBeeDebugSync.zip/file

It will log some info at the end of the error log (help/ support/ view error log) starting with the text:
mtp root=

He appears to be having the same issue I am where reverse sync cannot locate files if I use the "preserve folders and filenames" option. If he resyncs his music using the "use naming template" option, it will work.

edit:
I am reasonably sure the issue is because the device cannot display all the results. I will wait for your feedback first but I have the next version ready with a change to restrict the number of results displayed.

I just did another test where I copied my entire 10,800+ song library to my phone using a fresh portable instance of MusicBee and I can confirm that reverse sync (0.5.5) appears to work as it is supposed to for ratings and playcounts (I briefly tried syncing playlists, but couldn't figure it out and didn't care to learn right now). I only tested a few tracks changing ratings and playcounts at a time, but the preview scan only took a couple seconds and didn't "scan" indefinitely like before.

My main portable instance of MusicBee still doesn't work, so it appears that the issue I'm having has to something to do with my library file or settings because when I transferred from an installed version to the portable version yesterday, I imported my settings and library instead of starting new like the test I just ran. The amount of files scanned doesn't appear to make a difference.

I'm going to a take a break and then try to figure out if I can import just my playcounts from my main library into my test one, and then manually rebuild everything so I make the test library my main one.

It generated a log that is too long to post on this board, so I emailed it to you.

the log doesnt make complete sense to. I think this one should capture the error better

v0.5.3

Thanks, I'll send you a new log in about 2-3 hours. I just finished moving from an installed MusicBee instance to the portable one and it's making me do the initial sync over again.

0.5.2 has debug info - can you send me the error log details after attempting a reverse sync preview

It generated a log that is too long to post on this board, so I emailed it to you.

Also, I downloaded MusicBee portable to test the reverse sync with a few tracks and it worked properly. My main installation of MusicBee must've gotten corrupted somehow, so I am about to backup my library and try a clean install to see if that fixes it.

i did make an assumption that the /gmmp/stats.xml file was always on internal storage. Which card is that file actually stored for your device and is your internal storage card really not mounted?
Also your security software is removing musicbeebass.dll or you are running a partial install

edit:
I can see one mistake that might cause the issue. If it still happens can you still answer the above questions
v0.5.1
https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4700978781087552506

I've just updated to 0.5.1 and tried running it again a few times. Unfortunately, it's still doing the same thing. To answer your questions:

1) I have a Nexus 6P which does not have any external storage capabilities. All of my apps are installed to the default location and I don't think you can customize where GMMP saves its backup files. The full path from root is root/sdcard/storage/emulated/0/gmmp/stats.xml, but Solid Explorer reports it as /sdcard/gmmp/stats.xml.

2) I also just checked and the MusicBeeBass.dll file is still located at C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\MusicBeeBass.dll. I also use the default program location on my computer.

---

Since I was having the same problem when my library was only 3 songs, I assumed the amount of songs didn't matter and put everything back on my phone last night. Here is a recording of the issue I'm having in case it helps: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DScStsyX6YJbQfJL6.
1. Opened GMMP and listened to a track in full and changed its rating. (I did a normal wifi sync before the recording started that completes in about only a few seconds.)
2. Opened the wifi app and tried a reverse sync preview. Let it run for about 50 seconds until the notification disappeared.
3. Backed out of the preview to stop it and pressed the "sync now" button. Got a successful sync message after about 5 seconds.
4. Did a file rescan on MusicBee Desktop and the track did not update.

MCDoubleDefDP- please also check MB's error log for entries at or near the same time and post them here. It might be helpful to Steven to see the log from the desktop in addition to the device.

Thanks, good idea. I've added it the end of my original post below.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the GoneMAD reverse sync to work? I can sync my library of 10,800+ songs one-way from MusicBee to my phone just fine using the wifi app, but couldn't get reverse sync to work, so I removed all my music from my phone and tried syncing a test library of 3 songs. I did a regular sync using the wifi app and then played songs a few times and changed their ratings, but no matter how many times I try, reverse sync isn't working.

If I press the Reverse Sync Preview button, the loading circle will either spin indefinitely while the sync notification disappears after about 15 seconds, the app will close (like %5 of the time) or I will get a message saying no changes have been found (like 2%). In any case, it never gives me a preview of changes it's detected.

If I don't preview and just try Sync Now, I'll get the successful sync message, but nothing changes on MusicBee Desktop's side after rescanning the files for changes.

Am I doing something wrong?

I updated MusicBee to 3.3.7042 and the Wifi app to 0.5, and have tried both GoneMAD 2.2.2 stable and 3 alpha. Here is the error log:
