New Development Builds Will Not Allow USB Connection Clip Zip

[bbildman]

Unless my mind is playing tricks on me, it seems with this new dev build I installed yesterday, my music and books sound clearer and better. I guess it doesn't make any difference if it my mind doing it or the Rockbox, I am a happy camper.

Mihail, is this the page in which I can find all the new "additions" to the daily dev builds::

Hi Mihail,

No complaints, but I notice regarding Windows 7 USB connection takes a significant time to finally give me the Zip's and it micro-drive File Explorer connection.

When I connect to the laptop, I get the "Rockbox Rockbox.org device enabled"  balloon, then there is a short wait when the Autoplay pop-up (from Windows) displays. Then ofttimes there is maybe a 5 - 10 minute (or longer) wait until the Auto-play disappears and the 2 explorer windows show, indicating the I and J drive with the files displayed. When I had 3.13 installed, the drive windows popped up very quickly, as it does with the Original Firmware option is enabled on boot.

98a69ec is my current build, but when I reinstalled 27c7e47 (where you and I left off) is works quickly.

Is this correct, or must there be some more tweaking that need to be done.

(Sorry to bother you, Mihail)

Someone else have idea whats wrong or we should try do bisect again?

[saratoga]

People have had random problems with builds on the AMSv2 players since USB support was added.  My guess is that bisecting will find weird things that make bugs more or less likely, but probably not fix much.

Mihail.

Couple new things::

I installed build 9076b433, and the first time I connected to the USB it worked ok, then the next time, the autoplay popups displayed and never finally connected to the drives with files showing, when I clicked "Open Content" in the autoplay box, it takes me to the drives but the display showed no files at all. This happens also with the 27c7e47 on occasion.

This problem is different than my original problem, where the computer never acknowledged the Sansa at all, whereas now it is hit and miss as to whether the Sansa and the microhd will display files even though I CAN look on the explorer for those drives, but no files.

Head scratcher, also see this thread here::

Can you try disable autorun/autoplay in windows?
Try use safe disconnect in windows before  unplug player.

[bbildman]

Ok, first I ALWAYS safe disconnect, so that's not a problem.

Also I tried disabling Autoplay; the options in Autoplay from control panel are::

1. Open Device Stage

2. Take No Action

I already tried "take No Action, and the Autoplay popups still open up, with option to Open Folder To View Files. If I wait a little while, and then click on that, the Folder Opens with an empty folder, rather than with the files inside.

I'll try it again, and restart windows to see if there's any difference with the restart.

Gets weirder by the minute.

[bbildman]

Ok, I restarted and when the Zip is connected, the Autoplay (Take No Action) still pops up, and when I click the Open to View files, still 0 files.

Put it back to Open Device Stage, which is where it was when youy and were working on it in February.

Of interest also is when I connect it, between that time and when the Autoplay popups open, connections to the internet with my browser do not work, soon as the popup opens the web page displays

[Mihail Zenkov]

I can't find 27c7e47 revision in git. Rockbox12 have 21c5ffe.

[bbildman]

Ok, I must have installed that one 27c7e47 AFTER you sent me 21c5ffe, I will install 21c5ffe again, and see if that works like before, I will get back to you.

Again, thanks, Mihail

[bbildman]

21c5ffe works, I will stick to that one, seems the subsequent builds have a USB problem different from my original, but still a problem
