Using MMA Pro wireless sync is a great feature, when it works.
Does everyone else have as many problems getting it to work as me?
I feel I'm lucky if I'm able to get it to work 50% of the time.
The other times?
I often get on MMA, "MediaMonkey is waiting for other background processes to complete", then it just sits there and spins for at least an hour if I let it where it usually gets fixed if I just close out MMA and restart it.
I often get in MMA, "Cannot connect to Media Server", which typically requires a restart of MMW. The Server on my windows PC shows it's up and running, MMW is open and running fine, but it just seems the Media Server is out to lunch. I find this often happens if I step away from my PC and my PC has gone into sleep mode.
I often get prompted in MMW to "Allow remote Access to the server" when I start it up, although I've granted it remote access multiple times previously.
I often get, "Since this is your 1st time syncing, you may need to go to MMW and allow remote access" although I've synced multiple times previously.
I often get in MMA, "No media servers found", although my PC is running with MMW and it shows in my Network locations on my PC that the MM Server is present.
If the wireless sync actually goes through without any hiccups I'm typically surprised.
I love MM but this wireless sync is a big headache. It seems like there are just too many variables involved that can go wrong and they often do, and troubleshooting them to get it to work is a mess since there's no real clue in the messages of where the problem resides. I'm constantly restarting my PC, opening and closing MMW, opening and closing MMA, restarting my Android device, restarting my router, etc, etc.
I really wish I could just use one of my Network drives which is connected to my router to store my library and have MMA sync wirelessly with that HDD. At least that way it would reduce the amount of variables of having a separate PC with MMW running and all the MM server and firewall monkey business on that PC, which just seems to fail randomly and MM seems to forget the access and settings I already set.
I can't be the only one dealing with all these headaches with MMA wireless sync because I own multiple Android OS devices with MMA Pro installed on them, and everyone of them I have these exact same issues.
