Do the tracks by chance order them selves relative to how long (track length) they are?

In short, no. If you look at the example I give above (Grateful Dead's American Beauty), Truckin' is 5:26, followed by songs that are both longer and shorter in duration.

If this helps, here is the output from an 'ls -la' from the actual files on the BDP-1 being used for playback:



Feel free to ask for additional details and/or things for me to try.

^^ FWIW, I took the same files, transcoded them to FLAC using XLD, loaded them onto my 'New Music' flash drive, Updated the flash drive and loaded them into Media Player using the Default View:





...as you can see, they now load correctly. Also, I can load the original ALAC files, in the correct order, using MPaD via MPD, without any track ordering issues. There does seems to be something peculiar with ALAC and MM.

Hi Chris,

I accidentally pushed the update button, and only then realized there's no cancel button.... Could you add that?
The BDP now is updating to the official firmware while im on betas..

If your running manic moose and it's still downloading the first of the three files, you should be able to push the power button, followed by the down arrow button on the front of the unit.  If the installation makes it past the checksum before it powers off you may brick the unit and have to reflash the cf card.

All the more reason for a safe way to cutoff the accidental update-process with a cancel-button. Maybe also add an 'are you sure' button before actual the actual updating, after downloading the updates. You describe a horribly unfriendly process, remnant of the old pc-era it seems.... Let alone the need of actually being near the BDP, instead of operating it over the net.
Users shouldn't be able to brick the BDP through any command in MM.

Luckily the update process didn't follow through then, don't know why, cause i could not stop it.

Cheers,
Marius

latest beta mentions 2 memory play functions.. Could you tell us a little more - difference between them and difference from existing  CD replay feature for example?

Thanks

I've upgraded my unit to S2.12 and also replaced the old sound card with the new IAD.

All is working great however, I noticed that in MPoD (iPhone 6 Plus), I've lost some of the Album Art (Album Covers).  I took a second look on my USB memory stick and the Folder.jpg files are still there.  I did an Update Database and Refresh Local Cache but it did not fix my issue.

Any idea?

I took a second look at my setup and nothing has changed.

All my album art is called "Folder.jpg" and all Folder.jpg files are located with the list of songs.  This is true for all albums.

I also took a look at the titles and metadata and I have no special characters.

As, I mentioned before, all album art was visible & present with S1.60 however with S2.12 I've lost a handful of album art via MPoD.

Any ideas?

The main difference is the new features rip the entire cd into system memory at once instead of doing it as its plays.  With the new system the drive is relatively loud for a few minutes (about 70 seconds for every 10 minutes of audio); but no longer spins afterwards.

So no one else has this issue?

Post the full path to a song that doesn't show cover art or place the BDP into service mode and email me the service id with some songs in the playlist that have the issue.

Thanks Chris,

Tried this using my Plextor drive.  Using "Next" , on front panel it gives me a number of minutes (to rip to memory?) usually 7 or 8; and shows Dst as Sys Mem (presumably so far so good) then shows which track it's ripping in order.  However it always gets to the final track then nothing more (I.e. It's taking some time to rip the whole CD to memory but then not actually playing anything).  Using "Previous" I get the same except it doesn't even get to the point of actually ripping.

Incidentally my drive works fine using original play option and now also works fine ripping to SSD.

How do the 2 new play modes differ from each other?

What's the procedure to place the BDP into service mode and to get the service id?

Forgive me if this is a very old issue, but before I upgraded my BDP-1 to MM a year ago I was able to save the urls of my favourite (Scandinavian) radio stations to a playlist by using the Gnome application.
But now this doesn't seem to work anymore. Have I missed something perhaps, or is there another method that is recommended nowadays?

You can try bRadio.  It could also be that your Internet radio stations have upgraded and are using new codecs or even software.  I believe the bbc did this recently causing confusion with listeners.

Thank you unincognito.
No, the urls haven't changed. I'm just unable to recreate my old (Scandinavian,public) radio station playlist.
What I suspect is that - with MM installed - the BDP doesn't accept urls being added to playlists by means of Gnome anymore.

Hi Erik,

I do not think Gnome is being supported and longer - do you know?

HI Chris,


Before i click these 2 new DB options in Media Player settings, please let us know what they do (i would have thought the DB was enabled, since i am able to view, select and play tracks)
