Wifi android device synching

[phred]

No. The PC and the device have to be on the same WiFi network.

This is not accurate.

You are correct and I'm an idiot. <sigh>
My PC doesn't even have WiFi. So yes, an ethernet connected PC and a WiFi connected device can work together.

Sorry for the incorrect information.

Seems I'm  stil a Beta tester for Rocket Player from JRT studios, who also have a WiFi sync with iTunes App.
The developer (in Texas) was always quick to fix any issues, is:-

RIP JRT studios. Idk what happened but it is SO different now. Trying to charge $15/week for iSyncr and Rocket Player

iSyncr worked but that's about the only good thing I can say about it. It was painfully slow and Rocket Player would take forever to refresh music. Then whoever took it over made it infinitely worse and tried to charge insane amounts for it.

Wifi Sync with Musicbee is 100x better. And it's free.

Version 2.7.10 was released for open testing.
Again, this time it is a timeout countermeasure.
It now does not go to sleep on the screen during Sync, i.e., the screen remains displayed.
I implemented this as a timeout countermeasure as my user, where I had to touch the screen to keep the screen from disappearing.

MusicBee continues to show a timeout in the error log. The music files seem to work mostly without issues. The playlists seem to be causing the problems. Unfortunately, I don’t know where the problem originates. Whether it’s the app, my phone, the SD card, or MusicBee itself.

I'm running into the same problem as well. The app syncs the mp3 files without issue then hangs on syncing playlists (m3u) until the "non-recoverable error occurred.. please restart app" message displays.
@kimt1688 have you experienced this with version 2.7.10? The wired sync is my only work-around for now

I am using the latest beta version (ver 3.6.9156) for the MusicBee itself and 2.7.10 for the Wifi App and no timeouts.
With the fixes you have made so far, it no longer occurs in my environment.

How many playlists are you trying to sync?
I recently had an email support interaction with a user who wanted to sync 600 playlists.
There may be a number issue.

@kimt1688 This may be a version issue since I'm still on 3.6.9047 and haven't installed the beta. I'm also syncing only 5 playlists but a few of them have over 10k mp3s each.
Do you recommend installing the beta and retry?

Having emojis in the filename is crashing wifisync. Syncs just fine with the cable though. Are there any workarounds without having to change the filename?

This log only has track numbers 7 and 11 on the CD, what is the status of the other tracks?
Does the error occur in all files that use EMOJI? Or is the error only in these two?

These are the only files I have with emojis

This log only has track numbers 7 and 11 on the CD, what is the status of the other tracks?

the other tracks don't even appear on log and doesn't get updated on either end. The android app just says it's copying/deleting these two files and then says the syncing is complete. On musicbee's side it shows the above error and then shows the following for every other file

I also can't get wifi sync to work, on the most recent of both the app and music bee (3.6.9156)

It sometimes works at first, but then crashes. The app says successfully completed, but it hasnt, it does it after attempting to copy one song (a random song that I havent updated or added, but it is always trying to sync from this one artist) .  The computer program recognizes that it failed and says it failed


Here is a screenshot of the error log (I couldnt get copy to clipboard to work)

https://imgur.com/a/rkiBbBQ


I am also on galaxy s24 android 15 (which is a beta) so that could be the issue.  This is when the old app stopped working and when I noticed someone here had created their own version of it

I will delete the data in teh app and sometimes it will require me to select the folder (this is when it will somewhat work and remove some files and copy some over before crashing) and other times it doesnt ask and that is when it doesnt do anything and crashes

Any ideas?

This is just a guess, but perhaps the discrepancy between UTF-16 and UTF-8 is causing the error or exception.
On the Widows NTFS file system, UTF-16 is usually used.
On Android, UTF-8 is used.
I believe the conversion is not being done anywhere right now. At least Wifi App does not consider encoding at all.
I suspect that Wired Sync is completed because Windows writes directly to it.
However, I don't use EMOJI, but I use Japanese file names regularly.
Japanese is also supposed to be different between UTF-8 and UTF16, but this has not been a problem.

I think the conversion can be implemented in a few days and can be beta released (open tested), but if indeed the cause is as expected, I cannot predict how the file names will be converted. Especially the EMOJI issue.
If the Wifi App has converted them, then the next Wired Sync may have other problems.

[c0sb0rne]

@kimt1688 were you able to reproduce the timeout issue I posted a few days ago?
I'm currently on beta 3.6.9160 using app v2.7.10 and the timeouts persist when playlists exceed 10k files each when syncing to Samsung Micro SD 512gb Pro Plus.
Playlist 1: 14k mp3s
Playlist 2: 6k mp3s
Playlist 3: 2k mp3s
Playlist 4: 14k mp3s
Playlist 5: 100 mp3s

Hmm one of the artists track name is literally ★★★★★

I wonder if that is causing the issue, perhaps if I rename it to just 5 Stars or even ***** if I want it to be closer to the original

I did not test for playlists with track counts such as 14k or 6k.
The playlists in my MusicBee with the highest track counts are at most 1.5k.
They have not been a problem.
Please wait for me to create and test a playlist with a similar number of tracks at my place, and if possible, I will issue a corrected version!

Thanks, I can test it. Is joining the beta on play store enough or will the apk be posted here or on your site?
