Title: filenames replaced with numbers when converting and syncing
Post by: iggyiggy on February 08, 2010, 03:31:53 pm

When I am using the server computer and I convert and sync to a handheld everything works correctly.  The filepaths get written out correctly and the copied/converted filename is correct with the new format.
 
Example:
10cc\bloody tourists\dreadlock holiday.flac  becomes  10cc\bloody tourists\dreadlock holiday.mp3    on the portable device

when I try to do the same thing from any non-server computer the following happens:

10cc\bloody tourists\dreadlock holiday.flac  becomes  10cc\bloody tourists\.mp3    on the portable device and every additional song filename changes to a number.
.mp3
(1).mp3
(2).mp3


The filenames is not copied over to the portable device.

When I view it through Media Center, the filenames are visible ...(i guess MC pulls the names from the ID shell information)  but it does not write the filename to the device.  All the paths are replicated correctly but all files appear as .mp3   (1).mp3   (2).mp3  etc.  I've been unable to get this to work.  It worked fine in MC 12 but hasn't worked since.

If anybody knows the answer, please let me know so I can stop tearing my hair out.  Thanks

What type of portable device are you using?

What's the full filename of the file inside Media Center that you're sending to the portable that doesn't work?  I wasn't quite sure what you meant by "non-server".

Thanks.

I have a "library Server" machine set up with my music library.  Most of the files are in .flac format.
I connect to this librsary server with my other machines in the house (non-server).

I am writing to a "swimp3".  an mp3 player that appears in MC as a 1 gig usb memory device. I have tried just generic usb sticks and the action is the same. 

Here is what happens in my tests:
When transferring from the mc server to my client computer with no conversion to MP3 format;
D:\archive_1\3rd Matinee\Meanwhile\Meanwhile -01 - I Don't Care.flac    ------>  f:\Music\3rd Matinee\Meanwhile\Meanwhile - 01 - I Don't Care - 4992.flac

When transferring from the mc server to my client computer with conversion to MP3 format;
D:\archive_1\3rd Matinee\Meanwhile\Meanwhile -01 - I Don't Care.flac    ------>  f:\Music\3rd Matinee\Meanwhile\.mp3

I need to convert the format for my player to work.  Let me know if I can further clarify or need to test further.

Thanks

Which build of MC are you using?  Did you try updating?  140 is current.

I just updated to the latest version (server and client) and I get the same results.
