is it possible to Build Database from syncing from portable device to MM?

Post by divilsp33d »

As the Subject says.

For some reason all of technology today is working against me not just Mediamonkey. But the library has decided to wipeitself and im trying to use a backup from a couple of months ago but I don't know if that's actually doing anything.

It would be easier to scan from the portable device my Fiio m7 and build the library from there.

You can Sync from MMA > MMW if you enable Sync to do so: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... Library.29

Hey, Will this means the playlists I have saved will be imported into the current database?

Playlists in MMA will Sync back to MMW.

If you're referring to Playlists saved from MMW to your PC. They can be imported with Add/Rescan Files, but the Paths on the Playlist files need to point to where the files reside on your PC (this quite possibly isn't the case after Sync from MMA > MMW).

Sorry I think I may be missing something here. Just to clarify when you say MMA will Sync back to MMW. what does MMA and MMW stand for? is it MediamonkeyAndroid and Mediamonkey windows.

As on the Fiio M7 I just have the default settings and havn't added any third party apps to it. Though i have enable the option to do it. Could this explain the "waiting for sync connection [PC code and name here" in the bottom left?

I have copied and pasted the .m3u playlist files elsewhere

Yes, that's what they stand for.

Are you doing a wifi or USB Sync?

Ah ok.

I'm using USB sync.

Also I don't mediamonkey android installed onto the Fiio m7. I just have its default player and settings. just with the Kernel unlocked to allow for third party apps such as mediamonkey installed.

Ah wait. I canceled it and restarted, due to changing the theme. and tried the sync option again. seems to be working now sending files to the chosen location on my PC.

And it was on MMW not on the device.

Well sending the songs, don't see anyplaylists among it but I'll wait and see.

Hi,
Playlists are synced on the end once all files are transferred.

Which Build (Help > About) are you seeing this on? Some issues related to Sync have been fixed in the latest beta of 5.0.2: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86639&sd=d and I'd recommend it.

If you're already using it, please capture the error in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643

This will help a developer analyze why this happens in your setup.

Hi,
If you installed latest Debug version from viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86639&sd=d have you got Debug window? If Not please install debug version and make screenshot of debug window also.

Heyo, It's Build: 5.01.2431

I'll have to do the debug mode tomorrow as it's getting late for me. Thanks for the help so far though.

Hi,
That build is very outdated, please install latest debug version MM5 from viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86639&sd=d and check see if that remedy your issue.

Gnight!
