Hi all,
I am a long time user of MB (great job) and all kind of hack to sync my phones with it.
The latest wifi official sync app was working well, but as other, it does not handle correctly android 10 with sd card (and i guess that every one put pusic on sd card if they have so ...).
SD card permissions have changed for android 10, i guess that the app has to be updated/upgraded also.
Just my  two cents  :)
Have fun dear coder for your new life !

fix for Android 10 not working. Also for older android versions, this release should improve the success of the initial server connection when you click "Locate Server"

If you are not on the internal test track, you will need to send me your google play email so I can add you

Just checking in to let everyone know that the new version solves the issues I was having.
Wifi syncing works perfectly on Android 10 using an external SD card for music storage.

Didn't have to reconfigure anything.

GMMP error still exists, but this is a GMMP issue, it also throws an error in the GMMP log about the unlocker.

It didn't seem to have any effect on the final result of the sync, but the error log showed this after I ran it this morning:

/storage/4159-E797/Playlists/ is the correct location for my playlists.


Had similar issues, cant remember the error log. Will try again this afternoon. It stopped throwing the errors after I changed the sync settings in MB to not sync playlist, and then back to syncing playlists.

Yes i see the same. I have resolved the first and most important issue but the second, I wont be able to resolve where playlists are scanned and loaded into the android media database. For Android 10+ the playlist file scan/load is now skipped, and that means that players that depend on the media database for playlist storage will be affected but i think the major media players all use their own methods for storing playlists, so shouldn't be a problem for the majority of people.

The change is available now on the internal test channel
https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4700978781087552506

and has been uploaded for beta which i think takes some time to update

Perhaps you should also check in with GMMP's forum to see if this is an error on the GMMP side. And to make sure it can read the ratings that MB sends over.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Have the same error on Huawei P30 with Android 10.
Can't sync with Gonemad 2.2.23. I can't do playlist sync also, only full sync. If I try it shows no playlists, only red server not running error, but full sync works.
With Poweramp it's fine. I've also the following issue. When I create an autoplaylist, limit tracks, random list, play or rate one of this songs in poweramp and sync back to musicbee, it shows that files not match. But files exist on Android and within Musicbee library.

I can sync to phone, when I choose Poweramp and when I scan with Gonemad, Gonemad reads ratings. But when I choose Gonemad for sync I get an error.

Just a thank you. This is great.

Is the 'full sync' or 'playlist sync' setting supposed to be remembered, though? It defaults to full sync every time I open the app, even though I would never want to full sync (because my Musicbee library is way bigger than my SD Card, and it would take 12 hours to copy to the phone).

yes thats the way its been implemented. An option for you might be to configure a full sync to specific playlists only - what goes in a full sync is configured in MusicBee

Once again today and a week or so ago I had to clear data.   Is there something that can be done so it doesn't have to be cleared so much?  I hate that it resets the settings.   Since i got my new (refurbished) desktop tower I have been having issues with the computer getting a new ip address and having multiple times to fix it in my firewall settings for my programs such as musicbee.   then that causes musicbee wifi app to act up and then I have to clear data.   I turned off the wifi to the desktop since i plugged it in wired to the router for faster speeds but does the app still work with a computer that is wired to the router?  Or do i need to keep the wifi on at the same time on the desktop?
I'm using a Galaxy S21, Galaxy 9+, Galaxy S7, a Galaxy Tab S 8.4, Poweramp, and Musicbee.
