| Summary | 0000441: Inaccessible tracks are not all greyed out & MM becomes non-responsive | ||||
| Description | In 1.4, it's easy for the user to try to play a file that has already been deleted from the hard drive because there's no visual feedback to indicate that the file is inaccessible (although inaccessible CD tracks are greyed out anywhere in the library, and inaccessible HD tracks are greyed out in the Now playing node). In addition, the default configuration is for: -deleted tracks not to be removed from the library by the File Monitor (this is usually the desired behaviour, but it means that the bug exists despite the File Monitor) -warning for playing deleted files is disabled by default (since in most cases, the file will simply be skipped by the SDB player--this feature is far more useful for WinAmp where this doesn't occur). Solution is to add a flag to track whether files are actualy in their expected locations. | ||||
| Additional Information | This issue was raised and discussed in some detail in #180 http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29537 | ||||

Just an idea--what if the app changed 'Media' to 'Local Drive - NA' that way a new field doesn't need to be introduced and this could hopefully be implemented more easily. |
|
|
I wouldn't like to change the media of given track, because it can be missing only temporarily (e.g. accidentaly moved/renamed folder) and this way the link to the file would be lost. |
|
|
Note: per http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=882, greyed out tracks should be automatically removed if so configured in the file monitor, _only_ if they are on a non-removable storage device. This means that if a user has a removable hard drive, MM should somehow be able to tell that it isn't a permanent drive. |
|
|
Note: per http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1805 another problem related to the current implementation is the fact that the user can lose control of MM for extended periods as it tries to play tracks that are not presently available. |
|
|
One question: aside from adding a flag to indicate if a track isn't in it's stored location, wouldn't it also be necessary to check whether the stored location is accessible? e.g. if a removable disc is disconnected, then all the tracks on that disc can be marked as unavailable, however, it's not desirable to flag the tracks as having been moved from their indicated location. |
|
|
Raising priority based on comments at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29537 The issue is really that MM becomes non-responsive due to this issue. |
|
|
Raising to 'immediate' because this prevents MM from running in many cases. |
|
|
I think that this isn't an issue in case user presses Stop button - in MM 3.x it works even when there's a lot of unavailable tracks in NP. I'm not sure what else to do about this issue, maybe as suggested to show some error message when MM isn't able to play >10-20 tracks? |
|
|
Let me clarify with an example: If I run MM in a configuration where the DB is local, but tracks are on the network, and I haven't logged into the network, --> MM takes forever to start up -- it gets stuck on the splashscreen. |
|
|
Fixed in build 1199. |

Retested, and there's still a crash if MM is configured to scan a network location and the network location isn't logged into prior to MM running. MM should probably prompt the user to log in (preferred), or gracefully fail to connect (not as good). Short debug log follows: [3052] FastMM has been installed.

Fixed in build 1200. 1. The original fix was related to the fact, that when there were tracks in NP from inaccessible network disk, it could freeze the Main Window for many seconds on startup. 2. This new fix moves start of monitoring of folders to a thread and so there's no delay on MM startup anymore. |

Verified that starting MediaMonkey with unavailable network tracks doesn't result in slow start or hang. |
