| Summary | 0014982: Issues with syncing to external HDDs | ||||
| Description | When user wants to sync to external HDD (not a removable device) then: 1) In Windows 7 the disc is not presented as syncable device, user need to download and use the USB mass addon: http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/usb-mass-storage-plug-in/ to be able to sync it 2) In Windows 10 the disc is presented as removable device, but a) without drive letter b) is auto disabled due to 0013191, 0009913 c) has issues (freezes for some users - #NUM-655-86530 ), duplicate profile creation - HVG-383-44902 - 0014931 The solution would be to present the disc with drive letter and access it using drive letter whenever possible (like in case of portable devices / USB sticks) | ||||

Lowering priority to be worked on details offline. Facts: - Raid controller with Hot Swap is not external drive - There is no RAID controller that support Hot Swap, 99% of every SATA2+ controllers support hot swap and Refresh of Hot Swap drives is motherboard/controller function. Re 2a: Auto Refresh is disabled/Not Available in motherboard BIOS, usually fixed with Driver update or with apps like Zentimo to Hard Fix drive letter for device. Note this is not win 10 only issue but I see it in Win 7 also 2b: I find that behavior desirable, I would only change that if Drive is scanned in library profile should be Disabled/Grayed not allowing on/off and in case of clicking to open properties Dialog would be shown that device is in Library and can't be used as Portable/Sync device 2c: FYI SATA Hot Swap is done disconnecting DATA CABLE and then Disconnect Power Cable. I think this is more for MM5 than MMW due the non normal user setup. |

OK, note that I just wanted to fix 2a/2c for MM4 and plan to leave 2b as is, i.e. the external discs will be auto-disabled, but when enabling they will get drive letter in order to access the content by Windows file system whenever possible (as it is faster and more reliable than MTP/WMDM) |
|
|
2a/2c implemented in 4.1.22.1876 (and merged to 5.0.0.2117) Posted testing stuff (MM.exe and d_WMDM.dll) to the user to confirm. |
|
|
Commit 31627 is causing app freeze in MM5 (logs 0833B361_5.0.0.2050, 3CD6B361_5.0.0.2050, happens always when opening scan dialog). |

2b) we should probably change the original defaults in 0009913 and leave external HDDs visible just with disabled scanning ([ ] Scan as soon... checkbox), especially when 2a/2c is implemented now (that should speed the scanning and make it less CPU consuming and more reliable). BUT, we should ensure that they are still auto-disabled whenever user scans some tracks into library via Add/Rescan (i.e. 0013191 case) Alernatively we could add the prompts suggested by Rusty in the past here 0009913:0032884 , but this would be better to implement for MM5 (due to a need for new string translations) |
|
|
2b) I would leave as is, but would consider making new device wizard similar to MMA that would better allow non iterate users to quickly setup devices something like 0014101 and/or make unified variation of 0014606 to make quick predefined settings which would be easily expandable by MMDC profiles. |

2c isn't properly fixed, for the storageInfo.xml the MTP is still used (not the access via drive letter), details at http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=91709&start=15#p452646 EDIT: I found that 2c (profile mismatch) was actually a regression in MM5 only (works fine in MM4). |

Fixed in 2135 and sent testing stuff to user for confirming the fix... Re-opened, based on the log it is still not working for the user... |

Fixed in 2135. Test note: This time it was rather for flash drives which name is like 'N:\'. MM5 (unlike MM4) uses the name in cache path when caching the storageInfo.xml to the temporary directory. And because chars like ':' are not allowed in filename then the MTP error 8007007B appeared while trying to transfer storageInfo.xml to the temporary directory. |
