Hello everyone
,
I had an issue with syncing my playlists and just found a solution. Even though it is not the best one, I want to share it here, because it took me hours and it drove me nuts - and maybe the following is saving someone else from the some situation. Hopefully.
So just in short, what I am using:
- MMW 5
- Mobile: Samsung S20 (Android) and the
- Mediamonkey App with the Wi-Fi Sync-function (pay).
The problem:
- MMW didnt recognise my mobile anymore (only via USB-cable) and therefore, no syncing via Wi-Fi was possible. It said
"Connection failed"
- Within the app under "options" in the "Wi-Fi"- section, it didnt find anything / no server (it just said "
Searching...", but even after some minutes it found nothing)
Solution:
After deactivating the Microsoft Firewall, MMW recognised immediately my mobile and the synchronisation worked also immediately.
So yes, I know, deactivating the Firewall is not good in the long run, but if there is no other solution and you want to sync your playlists, then it might be a solution to do this:
- deactivate the firewall
- sync your playlist
- reactivate the firewall
If someone has a better solution, it is highly appreciated. But at least the above is one and as said, I hope it helps some people to reduce the annoyance that I had.
Peace and happiness to all of you
