Hi,

I was uploading some files today and my computer hung (not jemplode's fault). I had to quit it and when I re-syched it I got some "errors found - sync to fix" messages. *However* when I added a new playlist and uploaded files I got the "errors found - sync to fix" messages again. I can't remember exactly the order the errors happened and precisely what I did next, but files hopped between the the playlist I had been uploading to when the machine crashed and the playlists I created. I apologise if the explanation is a little vague but I did so much faffing around I can't remember! I also couldn't delete playlists - when I clicked "delete" it didn't do anything.

*Finally* it wouldn't even sync - it hung at "retrieving playlists" and I couldn't find anything in this (excellent) forum or the FAQ to help.

I flashed the new Hijack (289) but nothing changed, and then when I got home a couple of hours ago on I flashed the consumer b13 image and ran emplode - it worked and it logged the following:

20:04:10.907 CheckMetaData.cpp(366) : W [0bd0] length tag (24) doesn't agree with the number of children (16)
20:04:10.907 SyncProgressDialog.cpp(609) : I [0bd0] CSyncProgressDialog::ReportWarning(w = 2, s = 'Temp #1', status = 0x00000000)

..along with an error displayed error to do with with the child nodes not matching.

Generally, the question is "does emplode do stuff jemplode can't?" - I ran jemplode here at home right before running emplode and it hung at the same point (retrieving playlists).

Cheers,

Gareth

Please state the version of Jemplode you're running. The latest version has some bug fixes related to synchronizing.

D'oh, sorry missed that one! I think was using 37 at work then I upgraded it to 41 to see if that fixed it but I presume it could have broken them but not been able to fix them, but emplode could?

Gareth

Yes ... Currently released jEmplodes don't have code that deals with playlists with no parents. If your machine hung during a sync, then it's very psosible you synced playlists without parents, which jEmploe would just kind of ignore, but it Emplode would fix them (and jEmplode 42, which isn't out, will also).

Sorry for the annoyance...

Mike

Ah, I see - it would be cool if it could automagically fix such errors though it is pretty rare that I get problems uploading.

Cheers,

Gareth
