I had three sessions with two users that complained that after inserting second/third external HDD/FLASH disk one or all other vanishes. All two issues solved by deleting USBMass plugin and let WMDM take over. |

I have already added this issue for MM5 as #12178 But you are probably true that we can remove it even for 4.1.6 |

Removed from the installer in build 4.1.6.1721 |

Verified 1721 |

Peke, there are some complaints / usecases that are no longer possible: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=78611 I missed the mapped drive issues previously, we should make d_USDMass.dll as standalone plugin/addon (MMIP) available to download here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/usb-mass-storage-devices/ Currently the plugin is presented there, but MM 4.1.5 install package is downloaded instead of the MMIP, could you create d_USBMass.MMIP and publish there? |

Can you please just add simple check so that USBMass1.dll do not trigger on Removable drives that are handled by WMDM? It should be fairly easy to add "IF (not Removable) OR (is Mapped) drive THEN" check. |
|

Peke, can you clarify what do you mean? Do you want to add the condition directly to d_USBMass.dll so that it cannot handle removable drives? Which is the reason? I think that d_WMDM does not interferre with d_USBMass.dll until the device is manually mapped when configuring d_USBMass.dll, right? If yes, then I think that we can publish d_USBMass.dll as is (just add it to separate MMIP) and post here: http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/usb-mass-storage-devices/ |

Yes exactly, just plain condition so that USB Mass do not handle/detect Removable drives. WMDM do not interfere with USBmass but WHEN USB Mass can handle some device then WMDM New device detected is not trigerred and the reason we removed plugin in first place. I would like that we publish USBMass as separate plugin that will allow user to do manual settings and it should work only in that case no other cases where WMDM can handle the device. Maybe we should rename d_USBMass1 to d_xDriveto avoid init/query handling prior to d_wmdm plugin? |

I am not sure about htis, I think that if user manually configured USBmass for the given drive letter then he did it intentionally and wants USBmass to control the drive/device (overriding WMDM). I think that publishing USBmass as separate addon will be enough for now. |
|
|
I agree but that interfere with other devices of same type that ocupy same drive letter making WMDM not trigger at all for any subsequential inserted device. This is the case due the windows dynamically assigning drive letters to remote devices. The only workarround is that if you use it for removable HDD you FIX drive letter to that device which will tell Windows to assign new letter for other inserted devices and make WMDM work. |
|
|
I am not very keen on the change, I guess that assigning USBMass to a single drive letter can be desirable in some user scenarios. e.g. user wants to use single device profile for multiple HDD/memories/devices that occupies the single drive letter. Note that in Win 8 some external HDDs are recognized as removable instead of fixed. I still think that publishing USBmass (as is) as separate MMIP here http://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/usb-mass-storage-devices will be enough. |
