Hello,
there is a serious problem with the current version of GMMP which makes it totally unusable for me!
I have a really large music collection on an external hard disk which I connect to my LG G2.
I use this for having all music with me at work (I'm a music teacher).
Up to now it has worked great; the database always remained, unless I said GMMP to do a rescan.
But with the new version, the database simply vanishes a short time after I disconnect the hard disk!
When comes a fix?
Regards,
Hasenbein

Its a beta for a reason and that is because it might be buggy.. i might know the cause of your problem, so i'll try to fix it or add an option in then next update (gmmp auto scans when it detects chagnes in the android media library so it stays in sync) |

Thanks!
Well, if I don't tick "Auto scan" then obviously the scanner should do nothing itself and the database should remain unchanged under all circumstances...
But the new UI seems great!

But the new UI seems great! no auto scan is an old feature that is deprecated in 2.0 (unless you have music in a non standard format like mpc or ape). That setting is nothing to do with syncing with the android media library which is a completely new function/feature |

I have difficulties to understand what you mean:
Do you mean that the feature that GMMP doesn't auto scan (and which is invaluable for me, otherwise I would really have NO use for GMMD!!)will be removed completely in future versions??
But WHY???
One of GMMP's great, special features is the ability to cope with really large libraries.
And for that, having the possibility to not auto scan is CRUCIAL.

And for that, having the possibility to not auto scan is CRUCIAL. as i said.. revert back out of the beta until i fix it no.. what i meant was auto scan is not necessary to use anymore because it now automatically detects when new files are added to the device and runs a scan accordingly. That makes running periodic scans, or scanning on startup redundant. The settings are still there in the rare case that you library contains file formats not natively supported by android (and therefore would not be in the android media library) |
