It just happened again. MM crashed, afterwards Playlist were disappeared. I've sent an Android error report

So i startet once again from scratch.
- Uninstalled MM
- Deleted Playlist folder
- Deleted Music folder
- Deleted DB folder

After a fresh install and sync, everything was fine.

2 days ago, i've updated to build 555 and now, there is another major bug. MM deleting the playslist. This happend now two time. When it first happened, i've resynced and it copied all 2000 mp3 files again. Then it was fine - I listened Music yesterday evening.
This morning the same again, all playlist are away from SDcard.

I've send a debug log: 48K0VCEFID

Yes, unfotunately it looks like the DB is broken. It is not visible in the log. The DB is not removed when MMA is uninstalled. Please uninstall, remove the DB (it is located on internal storage /MediaMonkey/files/mmstore.db) a reinstall.

The playlists are there because they are resynced from Android DB. But they should be overwritten after sync.

If you still see the duplicates, please send me log right after wifi sync. And send me your mmstore.db via PM here. Thanks

So I tried to check, if album art issue is fixed and run into many other issues:

- Uninstalled MM on the device, assuming that it will remove all data (database)
- Reinstalled
- Immediately after reinstalling, I already had all playlists visible in MM. How is this possible without synchronyzing?
- I have some playslists twice, and most playlist have not all songs (eg 71 on device, but there are 1283 songs in the list)
- When I do a sync, some playslist are still twice and the others still have not all songs
- So I removed the playlists from the device and did a resysnc, it then copied the same wrong playslists again.

So i am stucked, whats going on now. It looks, that MM has a completely wrong database on the device. How can I get remove it? I think it should be deleted, when I uninstall MM, but this strangly seems not to be the case.

I sent a debug log RCSTB9VIRY shortly after a fresh install, when MM aleady displays doubled and wrong playlists, without any physical playlist and mp3 on the phone.

If it won't help, may I ask you to do following ?

1. delete one album with invalid artworks
2. do wifi sync
3. artworks are still invalid for this album? So please send another log immediately.

Thank you for your help!

Hi

I did so many tests, reinstalls etc the past day - especially regarding the first problem with writing to SD Card - that I can not say, when exactly I deleted and resynced.

So I will do again a complete test soon: removing library and resync and let you afterwards know, if the problem with album art is fixed definitevly.

Thanks for you patience

Regards

Also Build 554 still not showing most Artwork.

For me its not fixed in build 551.I did a fresh install and resynced everything but still have most artwork not displayed.

Yes we know about this regression with artworks in Marshmallow, it is already fixed in 551...but resync is needed . Let me know...

Build 551 should fix the crash that you experienced immediately after granting access to the SD card. Can you uninstall MMA again and then install build 551? That way we can be sure that access permissions to the SD card have been properly granted/configured.

Thanks.

Hi Rusty

I've uninstalled Build 550 and installed 551 and yes, it fixed the crash while grant the permisssion. Also synch is working over wifi.
However since 2 or 3 build, I have another nasty issue/bug: 95% of my album art (embedded) is NOT shown in MM

Let me know, if and what information i can give you regarding this bug with album art.

Regards

Hi Renato (icon),

Build 551 should fix the crash that you experienced immediately after granting access to the SD card. Can you uninstall MMA again and then install build 551? That way we can be sure that access permissions to the SD card have been properly granted/configured.

Hi bhiefer

I just uninstalled MM Beta and installed new Build 1.1.3.550
After the initial start, MM showed the confirmation dialog for SDCARD access, where I proceded.
Then MM crashed immediately, I think it has sent the internal debug log automaticaly, however i've also reported via standard android crash reporting

I've anyway proceeded:
i did a sync with 10 files in one playlist
it copied the files to the right folder SDCARD\MUSIC
What is a bit strange is, that I still see all old Playlist (which I removed to to this test) in MM, but not in the standard music player of LG.
I did a "Check for new/changed media" in MM, but it still shows old playlists. I've created a manual debug log, maybee you see something in there (OLVILWHLJH).

Regards

You said you granted the permission so it should write to /SDCARD/Music folder. Could you please add e.g. one album to your synclist, start wifi sync and then immediately send me the log as soon as the sync finishes?

We are working on fix that will properly update all paths after upgrade. As workaround, you can remove all tracks and resync

It looks like 13095 but it is tracked as:

Okey, but it doesn't fix it temporary to remove the files and re-sysnc, becaues MM does no longer store them on the SDCARD\MUSIC folder but on the program internal MUSIC folder an d this means, only MM can access it afterwards. So it seems MM has lost the ability again to write fully to the SDCARD.

So I wait for a fix then
