Over Capacity error message
« on: July 29, 2023, 04:58:46 pm »
I am testing transferring small playlists to my device, which has a 1TB SD card o f which 953GB is free.

Music center throws an "Over Capacity" error saying "You have attempted to transfer 129MB more media than can fit on your device."

Clearly, this error message is erroneous.  Any ideas?  I'm trying to transfer about six files, all under 10MB.

Restarted Media Center and the problem went away, at least for now.  Seems like a bug...

Yes, it's a longstanding bug in device size calculations. You can workaround it by a) performing a "recheck sync" (doesn't always work) or b) sync twice, first by allowing MC to remove files over capacity, then once more to transfer the rest.
