Symfonium would need auto-sync for local media library (triggered by file addition or file change (tags)).
Problem solved:
I’m using Syncthing to share my ~100GB OPUS256 audio media library between devices. So everything is automatic except Symfonum which require manual sync each time I add an album or change a tag.
Brought benefits:
Auto-sync is a must have feature for any modern media player.
Other application solutions:
Poweramp does auto-sync.
Seems that Poweramp is not using SAF , but is using its custom parser on standard Android Media Scanner.
Thanks for the reply. I know that using Android default scanner solves the autosync problem.
The reason why I use Symfonium scanner is because its the only way I found to correctly handle multiple genres (double quote separated). When using Android scanner, even with Symfonium parser : multiple genres are not processed, as well as some other tags.
And again no it does not use SAF …
I already explained all that multiple times and why there’s the option. So keep believing you know better this won’t change facts.
So check the option or use the API to sync when wanted.
why bothering with SAF… when any Android dev I talked with about it told me it’s one of the most famous piece of shit (with a few other things like SystemD…) …
There seems to be a solution for realtime sync with the local media database : OTO Music does this. And because it’s a very recent app I guess it uses the latest Google media API. Also : OTO is very low in battery consumption.
EDIT: The fix was to pass EXTRA correctly – it needed to be PROVIDER_ID:3
Can anyone share how to make “MEDIA_SYNC” work in Tasker? I added what I thought is the right package/class/action for the intent and also set the EXTRA to 3 for syncing that entry that I got from the media providers list, but when I run it nothing happens.
Ca yen a etre magique.
