Portable Devices / Re: Wifi android device synching

« on: June 01, 2024, 08:01:24 PM »

I have been running into this issue as well. Files and playlists sync fine, but playcounts do not update. I have the full version of Poweramp and have tried a few variants of the Wifi Sync APK, but nothing I have tried has worked. On Android 14 on a Pixel 7 Pro.

I have written about Poweramp before,
Uri.parse("content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/files")
to retrieve the playback history and update it to MusicBee.
This is a bit technical, but this Uri.parse is an internal storage,
/Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer/
This is equivalent to accessing the internal storage under /Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer/data/.
And access to this folder is no longer allowed and can only be accessed in the normal way with a rooted device.
It is undeniable that there was a lack of testing of the interactions between GoneMad and PowerAMP. But this is my mistake. And there is probably no solution.
It is very likely that it is also failing for GoneMAD, but I have addressed it to you for a solution.

Thank you for the explanation. I assumed it was a file system permission, since that was the big issue with newer versions of Android. I appreciate all your work!

Anybody able to get Poweramp playcounts to sync in android 13+

You need the paid version of Poweramp for it to work.

If you have the paid version and it's still not working, the only thing I can suggest is changing to GoneMad as I know that works. You need the paid version for that too.

Just wanted to check in and mention that the Wifi Sync appears to fail if a filename contains an emoji. I was trying to sync a playlist that contained the track below, but the sync would keep failing before the filename could appear in the progress updated during the sync mode on the Wifi Sync app.

It's strange because I have a few other songs that contain emoji that seem to sync fine. Not sure if there's something in particular about this one.

Bug Reports / Re: Artwork Downloader Issues in Inbox

Gotcha, makes sense! I'll have to play around in that section of settings, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The reason I had put this under Bug Reports is that the default Artwork settings don't play nice with files in the Inbox, but your explanation makes sense.

MusicBee Wishlist / Allow Sort Fields in Search Function

« on: September 12, 2022, 07:36:13 PM »

I am using Win 10 and MusicBee 3.5.8150

When I switched to MusicBee, I was very glad that I only had to apply the sort name once, and then all tracks by that artist were sorted by the new name, but I soon realized that I couldn't search for the sort name with the search function. Only the tracks where I specifically entered the sort name showed up when searching for the sort name.

I know there is a list of applied sort names in settings, and I can create an Auto-Playlist to see every track that actually has a Sort Name change, but it's a pain to track which files would still need a manually-entered sort name to function like I was expecting the search to, especially across a large library.

Bug Reports / Artwork Downloader Issues in Inbox

« on: September 12, 2022, 07:25:57 PM »

I'm using Win 10, MusicBee 3.5.8150

I noticed that, when I change the album name of music files after adding them to the inbox, it doesn't change the temp folder that the files are kept in, and the Artwork Downloader applies the new artwork to the entire folder (the album as added, before changing some album names), rather than just the applicable album. I suppose this is because the artwork system functions at a folder level.

I haven't tested whether converting the files to my preferred codec/bitrate AFTER changing the album name places them in a new temp folder in the inbox. For now, I have been waiting until I send the files to my library before running the Artwork Downloader, but I would prefer to finish prettying up the files in the inbox.
