Re: Sync to iPad works - but not podcasts

Well I am sorry to report that I have officially given up on MediaMonkey for managing podcasts. I've been using MMW to manage the podcast library and then syncing to an Android tablet. But I switched to an iPad tablet, and the technical issues with syncing MMW to the iPad have proven to be unsolvabl...

Re: Sync to iPad works - but not podcasts

Update (Podcast playlist hell): Since there's no MM app for iOS you're stuck with the Apple music and podcast apps. The podcast app doesn't support playlists, and the music app doesn't include podcast files in a playlist. So I changed the Type property of my podcast files from 'podcast' to 'music', ...

Re: Sync to iPad works - but not podcasts

Update: This is apparently a new "feature" from Apple - starting in iOS 11, you can't create podcast playlists, BY DESIGN. :oops: https://appletoolbox.com/create-podcasts-playlists-ios-11/ I confirmed it - I have a podcast playlist, added a music track to the list to test and voila, the pl...

Sync to iPad works - but not podcasts

It's been a long painful process to get MMW to sync to my iPad (I was SO looking forward to leaving iTunes behind, but no). And I'm getting close, but..... Everything syncs except the podcast files. So far I have: * Configured both MMW and iTunes per the steps on this page - https://www.mediamonkey....

Re: MM4 can't write to iPad

OK, problem solved - partially. I missed the part about "run as administrator". I installed the plugin again and now it works - almost - it syncs the music files but not the podcast files. I just spent 45 minutes searching the web - there are apparently some other settings needed in iTunes...

Re: MM4 can't write to iPad

Thanks Peke, I did install that plugin (item #2 in my list above). According the knowledgebase article: https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/knowledge-base/mediamonkey-sync-iphone-ipod/mediamonkey-apple-device-compatibility/ "...Apple Sync Plugin (for MediaMonkey 4) add compatibility with iOS 15...

MM4 can't write to iPad

From the info I've read on the MM knowledgebase, these should all be compatible versions to sync MM on my PC to the iPad - but no, when I plug in the iPad MM gives me a message saying the iPhone firmware is not compatible with this version of MM, and I will be able to view the device but not write t...

UNDO - repeat request

Please, please add a ctrl-z/Undo function. I just did it again - intended to delete a track from a playlist and instead deleted the whole playlist. It is unrecoverable - does not go to the system recycle bin. So very painful. This has been requested in the past, by me and others. Thank you.

Searching podcast removed episodes [#18054]

Not sure if this is a bug report or a wish list item, but when doing a text search in my podcast library I would like to be able to search the removed episodes. I've enabled showing the removed episodes, so they show up in the list grayed out, and all the text fields for each are available to peruse...

Re: Reconfiguring for streaming: MM Server, or NAS DLNA server?

Many thanks Lowlander - I got the MM server set up and it's working, at least from the MM end. There's a weird glitch in the Sonos system - Sonos will only allow me to select one track at a time to add to the play queue. Bizarre. I've got this posted in the Sonos forums but don't expect there's a fi...

Reconfiguring for streaming: MM Server, or NAS DLNA server?

Hi all, Need some advice on how to (re)configure my system for server/streaming. Up til now it's been simple - MM & music library both on one machine, plugged directly into the stereo as the primary audio system. I have a NAS on the network, which has a DLNA Media Server but until now I've used ...

Re: new podcast - RSS/XML, or iTunes/Spotify/Google Play???

I've had mixed luck with iTunes links (Apple podcast) - some have worked, some have not. Here's one that doesn't work - when I create the new podcast with this link, then update the podcast I see "updating podcast" in the status bar briefly, and then.... nothing. https://podcasts.apple.com...

new podcast - RSS/XML, or iTunes/Spotify/Google Play???

Hoping someone can educate me here... More and more when I go to subscribe to a new podcast in MM, the RSS or XML feed URL for the podcast are NOWHERE to be found. The iTunes/Spotify/Google links are everywhere, but if/when I do manage to find an RSS link it's usually through some 3rd party service ...

Re: UNDO! (ctrl-Z)

Thanks Erwin, that looked promising but not what I'm looking for - that option determines whether the confirmation appears or not. What I'm asking for is that the default option on that popup be set to NO rather than YES.
