I did have issues, which I consider fails, but have nothing to send you because it isn't a Debug version.
Fail #1 - Install frustration.
- I use a normal MM install (ie. not a Portable install).
- I uninstalled MM5 using the standard Windows 10 App uninstall facility ... It warned that it was unable to delete everything, but gave no specifics.
- I found and deleted the MM5 database, because I wanted a copy sync'd to my current production (MM4) database ... btw both MM5 and MM5 db's are in a custom location for auto backup|recovery reasons.
This is a frustrating 1st experience, because it is hard to understand what to do
I consulted the MM5 Online help ... I could find nothing to help with what is probably going to be a common install frustration.
I acknowledge that knowing what to do would probably have been simpler if I didn't have the MM db in a custom location, because I would have seen the ini & json files etc
I think this is a fail because:
- MM5 needs an Install|Import Wizard, and to be frank its absence is piss poor, due to the complexities of regular vs portable installs, and people wanting to relocate the database for backup reasons. I hope a wizard is under consideration for version 5.2
- the MM5 online help should address this common problem ... Maybe it does? I couldn't find it,. Please advise.
- I attached my android phone (Pixel 4)
- My phone has MMA, and I used Wifi sync as per the advice in the MM5 UI ... the phone has over 60GB of free space
- I selected some albums, and configured for them to be also transcoded from FLAC to mp3.
- the wheel was spining, the the count was not moving ... I looked into the phone, and could see that some tracks had been transferred, but nothing more was arriving ... no error debox ... no error message, no status bar message re the stall
- I tried to close MM5 ... I approved the message warning that it would terminate background tasks (or something like that)
- ===> (?!) MM5 still sits there spinning its wheel, and doing nothing
- deployed Windows Task Manager to kill MM5
* I have no log file that I can review or send to you ... can this be considered for v 5.1?
* the message where I authorised you to terminate background tasks should be guaranteed to result in MM5 closedown ... can't you go nuclear on it?
BTW, I restarted MM5, and restarted the Sync task, and it transferred the remaining 2,440 tracks to my phone without problem and relatively quick too.
