Yeah, I have the file. It's about a 1 MB. I've been testing the sync and getting a LOT of weird failures/recopys. I'll post it to my google drive and PM you the link.

So I finished syncing my large collection. It failed several times, mostly for the unknown reason I posted before. Once because my computer went to sleep.

Performing the sync several times seems to have gotten it to work correctly. The only error is one song that keeps trying to copy everytime but won't for some reason. The log shows it copying, but it never makes it to the sdcard and both say the sync was complete.

Copying it over manually and then resyncing it again matched the expected results.

App 0.2.5
Musicbee 6996

A sync to the microSD card on an i777 running CM13 worked wonderfully (43 GB). I'll be trying it on my Axon 7 microsd card next with full library sync (117 GB).

Soooooo much better than MTP syncing, especially for not getting hung up on playlist syncing for 30 minutes.

Edit: Ok, so I've been getting a few failures on the bigger transfer. from the MB error log:

2019-03-01 6:44:56 PM - 10.0.17763.0 - 3.3.6996.38313 - WifiSyncAbort: Cannot write to a BufferedStream while the read buffer is not empty if the underlying stream is not seekable. Ensure that the stream underlying this BufferedStream can seek or avoid interleaving read and write operations on this BufferedStream.

My guess is the overzealous power manager on my Axon 7 is killing the app somehow. It restarts fine, but the preview still says it needs to sync files it already syncs. When it starts copying files, it starts about where it ended up.

Questions / Ripping with Accurate Stream

« on: December 05, 2018, 06:43:02 AM »

My DVD drive is supposed to support Accurate Stream for secure ripping, but MusicBee says it doesn't support it. EAC and other programs say it does though.

http://www.daefeatures.co.uk/search?model=SH-S183L&htoa=All&c2=All&caching=All&accurate_stream=All&manufacturer=0&overread=All

Is this a bug, or a limitation in MusicBee?

Portable Devices / Re: Sync Errors from windows 10 to android sd card

« on: April 14, 2018, 07:13:04 PM »

I've been having a lot of trouble syning to my Android device as well (i get a different error code, 0x80042008 a lot).

It seems to happen is that once the screen times out and the phone locks, something is getting messed up. If you set the screen to never turn off while you are syncing, that seems to have fixed it for me. Not sure why that behavior has changed -- it might have something to do with newer Android versions, as my older 5.1 devices works fine with teh screen off.

I also have a problem with playlists taking a LONG time to sync.

So, which is the official recommended way to install now?

If the UWP version just provided for covering the bases, or will that be the "method of choice"? Going forward?

Also, so settings transfer or get shared between the two versions?

Portable Devices / Re: Want to only sync modified/new songs to Galaxy S7

« on: July 14, 2017, 07:02:30 PM »

I have a similar issue.

How are you copying the files? The simplest answer would to see if that method supports keeping the file modification attributes. MusicBee will recopy anything with a newer timestamp, so it might be seeing a different time stamp than what's on the HDD, think it's changed, and then recopy it.

I know FTP and WebDAV servers hit this limitation. There are FTP clients that can do it, but not the build in Windows support.

If you are plugged in, then MTP should match those attributes correctly, in which case we are probably both hitting the same bug.

Portable Devices / Android -- MusicBee keeps trying to resync every file in the profile

« on: July 14, 2017, 06:58:25 PM »

So I've got a 12k file library that I sync to a 128 GB microSD card. I've tried multiple ways to get it so that MusicBee only copies the relatives changes on each sync.

I initially copied the music directly to the SD card via Windows, so the modification times are correct. If I plug the card back into the computer, it will sync only the changes.

If I connect the device up via MTP, MusicBee sees the whole library as changed and tried to update the whole thing -- not what I want to do for that many files with MTP.

Is this a limitation of MTP's file attributes reading, or MusicBee just trying to copy all the files rather than checking the state of them via the attributes (i.e., this "device" is different than the previous "device" so sync everything)?

I'd rather do it wirelessly, but Windows native FTP doesn't support file modification time, and there are no functioning WebDAV servers for Android that do either.

Ok, seems to be a glitch.

I removed all the old devices, rebooted everyone, and then on the reconnect the option showed up again. No idea what was going on, but it's working now.

Bug Reports / Re: "Send to Library" doesn't get correct file sharing permissions

« on: December 11, 2016, 05:33:14 PM »

Awesome -- thanks.

Will it do the same thing for the directories it creates? I assume it would have to, otherwise the files would be inheriting from a parent that isn't setup.

Yes

D:\Music\Purchased\Amazon\whatever for the downloads
D:\Music\MusicBee for the MusicBee files
D:\Music\Music Library\whatever for the actual music files (this is the shared directory).

Bug Reports / Re: "Send to Library" doesn't get correct file sharing permissions

« on: December 08, 2016, 09:16:48 PM »

The version of MB that was being used was 6122 (so between Update 2 and Update 3). It's updated to 6172 now.

Steps:
1) share the music file directory in Windows (add "Everyone with read/write)
2) everyone can see all the files
3) download new purchased music from Amazon -- gets put into a separate directory
4) navigate to music directory in MusicBee of downloads
5) right click and send to Library (which has auto-organize on)

Results:
1) the files are added to the library correctly
2) the files are moved to the correct location in the library correctly
3) other computer on network can see the new directories created, but the files don't show up at all

Workaround:
1) go into Windows sharing and essentially reshare the directory
2) Windows goes through the whole dir structure and fixes the permissions
3) other computer can now see the files as well

So somewhere in the process of moving the file from the old directory to the new directory, all of the file permissions aren't getting set up correctly. I'm not sure that MB can even correct this, but it's definitely not working now (I've used the same thing in the past, and I believe it has worked correctly, but that might have been pre-Windows 10 and definitely earlier versions of MB).

Bug Reports / "Send to Library" doesn't get correct file sharing permissions

« on: December 08, 2016, 07:49:26 PM »

I'm currently sharing my music library (the files, not the Musicbee Library) using Windows File Sharing. The permissions are set to Everyone can read/write.

If I add a file to the directly manually, Windows adds the correct permissions on that file, and everyone can view it on the network. However, if do a "Send to Library" on the local computer to add a new music file, those permissions are not setup, and no one on the network can see it. I have to re-enable sharing on the directory for windows to recurse through the tree and set those parameters.

Is there a way that MusicBee can get the correct parameters when it copes a file somewhere?

Portable Devices / MTP and Album Art Rename

« on: December 08, 2016, 07:19:06 PM »

When I connect my android phone using MTP, why is the option to rename the album art greyed out? I can pick the other options, just not the last one. I know it used to be possible. Any ideas?

I've tried other solutions for wireless syncing (WebDAV and FTP), but those change the modification time stamps, so MusicBee always thinks it needs to sync everything. I could use something like Syncthing, but that loses the ability to sync selectively by playlist directly from MusicBee.

General Discussions / Re: [SITE REDESIGN v1.2] MusicBee website and forum redesign finished & released.

I looked wonderful.

One bug/feature missing I noticed -- on the forums' topic lists, there isn't no page jump navigation widget at the bottom on the page. There is one at the bottom of the comments inside a topic though.

It makes it a lot more work to scroll back to the top to go to the next page each time.
