MMA is not the first app I have signed up for beta testing and the Playstore shows nothing is available. My personal phone is also my work phone so the "work profile" is enabled. I wonder if this is part of the issue. Regardless, I got it working and am very pleased with the updates - great job!

I'm not part of the MediaMonkey crew, but I [i]am[/i] on a corporate Help Desk... is the phone yours with an MDM controlled Work Profile, or does the entire device belong to your employer?

If the former, your Work Profile should not interfere with the personal side of things, except just some general overall security items such as ensuring that your OS is up to date, device unlock security minimums, and no rooting. My personal phone has a Work Profile set up via MS Intune and it does not interfere with getting app updates or betas via the Play Store outside of its own profile.

When you open the Play store > MediaMonkey, does it indicate that you're a beta tester?
- If yes, click the 'Update' button to update to the latest beta. If yes, but there's no update button, it means that you're running an old version of Android that isn't compatible with MMA 2.
- If no, then in MMA, tap Options | About | Register for test builds. Then go back to the Play Store > MediaMonkey and click the 'Update' button.

Does that answer your question?

Thank you, Rusty, for the information. The Playstore did not show updates still after clearing the cache. I ended up having to use the "Register for Test Builds" option in MMA and once I got the Playstore via my browser, the update was there. Hopefully, the Playstore will see future builds pushed out now.

So, I am a beta tester for MMA but I do not see any updates. It shows v1.4.4.0956, updated on 10/25/2021. I deleted MMA from my phone thinking that would update things. No Go. I am not sure what is wrong or if I have something set incorrectly. Thank you!

Thank you both. Got the update now, and missed disabling the update on my main device.

I'm all in now ... :lol:

question reguarding the beta: i run MMA on 3 devices. Can I, and how, install MMA2 on just one of my devices for testing, leaving the others with MMA?
[/quote] you should be able to disable Auto-Update on each device when in Play store watching MMA page then use ⋮ to disable Auto Update.

We'd rolled out a 'staged update' to v2, and it looks like all available update slots were used. I've rectified this so anyone subscribed to the beta should now be able to upgrade.

Thanks!

can't find it. no update message, no hit in play store beside the already installed 1.45.

If this is the full roll out, why did I not get the beta? I'm in the beta program.

MMA Pro is now showing as updateable, but I had to manually search for it. I had already made sure that it was not in my phone's Sleeping Apps list (which stupidly disabled updates for the app).

Hi Gordol,

MediaMonkey Pro 2 was on a staged rollout but has since rolled out to all users. Try checking for an update again.

Thanks!

MMA 2 just showed up in my Google Play update list.

Does this mean that I can ignore the line in MMA2 update notes that MMA Pro needs to be updated too? Because I am unable to locate a v2 for MMA Pro.

MMA 2.0 is on a slow roll out to beta testers (you can become a [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=89969]beta tester in MMA itself[/url]).

I came looking for a discussion of MMA, specifically around improving the fast-forward capabilities. I found this one, which hits the same question and is dated two yeaqrs ago. And there is a mention of MMA 2.x being in development as well. Here I sit with the latest version on my phone, version 1.45.

I am a beta tester for MMW and it has really improved. I think it's time to direct more attention to the Android companion app.

1. For we users who listen to podcasts, a [b]30-second forward skip [/b]is a nice feature. Podcasts these days contain ads that are 30 seconds, 1 minute or 2 minutes. Having a fast way to jump past those would be nice.

For we users who listen to audiobooks, certain features would be nice. One I can think of is [b]allowing a separate equalization setting for audiobook and/or podcast modules[/b] so vocal tracks will be more pleasant to listen to without having to adjst the EQ.

For the PnP function, one problem I consistently have is when I try to stream a particular album from my computer to my phone. After I choose the album through the browsing functions, the tracks almost never show up in [b]regular track number order.[/b] At least, not the first time. I've learned that pressing BACK then selecting the album a second time usually delivers the album tracks in the correct order. But this is, in my mind, a bug.

The OP suggested [b]adding a podcast subscription capability [/b]to MMA, which would be great for people who can't sync to their desktop MMW because they are away.

Keep up the great work Pavle... and thanks

Hi,
MM5 https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86639&sd=d is already in hammering/polishing state.
MMA 1.x is in stability fixes states and MMA 2.0 is in internal testing that will be released for testing as soon as MM5 gets released due the fact that using current MMW 4.x do not have improvements and means to support all the wishes and things we made.

We at MM team over the years have set very high bar for MM quality and stability and we are glad that we managed to explain to users that half build product is not an option. Stability of implemented features needs to be done and working as designed, which will allow us much need time to further improve and add new features instead just fixing bugs and half designed features.

Personally, I would be the first that would not allow/trust app with all my music collection (I collect for more than 27 years) unless it is safe. As the old saying tell "Better be safe, than sorry." no matter how small the chance is I have 200k+ and 15 years of statistical reasons to be couscous.

ATM Only thing I regret is that I can't post images of MMA 2.0 UI and all the improvements we made across various usage cases and device types.
