Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #20202 (September 28th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Sent to Portables (USB) function doesn't work or crashes
« on: July 26, 2024, 01:59:14 AM »
Hi, first, thank you so much for all your work, DrO et al!

I'm on the latest 32-bit Preview Build #19516, running Windows 10 latest build.

This thing seems to fail whenever I use the Send To -> Portable drive (in my case, it was a microSD card). It seems to always crash now in this build.

I think in past builds, it was also very buggy, but you could at least sort of get it to work by going to Advanced and changing the File Name Format to <filename>. If you didn't change the File Name Format (FNF), it would just keep adding all your mp3s into one huge MP3 file until the process fails, and the rest of the files would just say Transfer failed.

But in this version, all it does is crash, no matter what you put in FNF.

Is there any chance we can get the USB Portables plugin working again? Thanks.

There's a handling issue with the send-to api related to the ml_playlists plug-in which is causing it to fail for some setups. The 19762 beta that just went up last night has the likely fix for it but I'm waiting on seeing if the change helps for those beta testers who were having issues before a newer preview build with the fix goes up.

Whether that'll help with the other issues from the re-used ml_pmp portables plug-in from 5.666 or not I don't know & I've yet to start on a viable replacement for ml_pmp (whatever I come up with is likely not going to be like for like nor targetting all of the devices with usb/mtp more likely just it). Alternatively the newer build has a modified yar matey plug-in which can be used for basic copying of files to a known folder which might be an alternative but there's none of the filename control but it's a possible fallback if ml_pmp doesn't work still after the build with the send-to api fix is out.
