Reboot empeg before sync

I reboot my empeg before i start synchronizing. Now emplode can't connect to the player (Could not connect socket error).
The point is i don't want to restart emplode (it's still open on my PC) , since i maid a lot of change in the playlists. Is it possible to resolve that easily (if it's to difficult i just restart emplode) that will save me a lot of time.

No. If you rebooted the player after Emplode grabbed its databse, you cannot synch without exiting emplode and losing your changes.

Don't do that.

Since the entirety of the state information is held in emplode until the sync occurs, I can't conceive of a reason that there couldn't be a reconnect option added to emplode. It might want to check to make sure that it's the same empeg, or warn the use that reconnecting to a different empeg might cause data loss, but there shouldn't be any reason that it's undoable.

I think you could seriously damage the database if certain things happened in the wrong order. Early on, before they added the failsafe into the software to prevent this problem, I seriously hosed my database once doing something like this.

Well, thank you any way.

I'll sort it over again.

JEmplode manages reconnection no problem. I often synchronise my changes a day later, having gone home and back (and used the player there as well as in the car both ways) in between.

Why not? Did I break something? The only reason that I can think of that would break it is if the DHCP server gave you the wrong IP address, or the USB path changed, or whatever.

We protect against database corruption by keeping a generation id (sequence_id) so that we can tell if you changed the database on another PC.
