Wifi android device synching

[Dzib]

Hi there!
I am getting an error while trying to sync my PC with Xiaomi 12 Pro. There is message "MusicBee can't match the device name to an existing configuration. Enter the device name that is displayed in MusicBee:". I think that the problem is in technical naming of my device. While MusicBee on my PC identify it as "Xiaomi 12 Pro", MusicBee Wifi Sync says that its name is "2201122G". I tried to enter "Xiaomi 12 Pro" into the input field, but it doesn't work for me. Also I already tried to reinstall both apps on PC and android device, delete device on PC and do a wire-sync again, so I have no idea what should I do next

I have the exact same error with Xiaomi Redmi Note 12S, but it was working fine with my Redmi Note 8 Pro

Edit 1: Looks like that on some phone models, the device model is used instead of the device name, so Musicbee is creating a device "profile" based on the device name while the wifi app is using the device model, so it can't work. A solution would be to be able to change de device name in Musicbee to match the one in the app, is it possible ?

Edit 2: It's working !!!! Juste changed the name of the device in MusicBee3Settings.ini (under Device - DeviceSettings) to match the model of the phone.

Using MB v3.5.8659 P

I've been using Steven's WiFi Sync app ever since it was introduced. A while ago my Galaxy  S22 updated to Android OS 13 and the WiFi sync app continued to work flawlessly.

This past weekend the phone died and I was sent I replacement. Everything is the same (including the model number (SM-S901U)) but the sync app now does not work. I get the dreaded "Can't use this folder" error. I downloaded and installed the "new" complied apk and started a sync which resulted in a lot of these in the sync error log.

Code

java.net.SocketException:java.net.SocketTimeoutException:Read timed out

In the MB error log each file that was attempted to transfer threw a "I/O error occurred. What was even weirder was the MB's status bar showed that the sync had completed successfully. Even though nothing was transferred.

Needless to say (but I'm going to say it anyway)  I'd really like to get this working and ideally using the S22's root folder.

Any ideas?

How did you fix the "can't use this folder" error ?

How did you fix the "can't use this folder" error ?

If I recall, using the new, compiled apk took care of that.

For the record I'm on the third day of (almost) non-stop configuring the replacement phone. With this particular issue I tried a lot of things so I may be getting mixed up in the sequence and/or results.

The apk on the last page? That's the one I used but without success unfortunately
