Samsung Galaxy S6 Compatibility with MediaMonkey, Lollipop
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2015 4:20 pm
I apologize if this is in the wrong section, or if this redundant information, I could not find help with my problem by googling so I thought this might be helpful for others.
I upgraded from Samsung galaxy S3 to a Samsung Galaxy S6 yesterday. I installed the normal free android build (version: 1.1.1.0412) on my S6, and had version 4.1.6.1736 on my PC (Windows 7). I primarily use the UPnP streaming feature, where I just access my music on my phone from my computer over the local network.
The normal build for android crashed immediately upon opening on my S6. I read around and saw that there are known problems with Lollipop (Android 5.0) and MM so I installed the latest android Beta version on my S6. the app now worked without crashing until I tried to connect to the Wifi streaming UPnP. Clicking on my server would crash the program. So I updated my windows MM to the Beta version 4.1.7.1739 and now everything works perfectly.
Hope this is helpful to others!
PS_ I did notice on the Beta android app install it says: "Note: For Wi_fi sync, use MediaMonkey for Windows build 4.1.6.1736+" As stated above, the 4.1.6.1736 did not work for me with my S6, I had to use the beta -1739.
