Hi All,

Trying to figure a few things out... I just installed v69.00000000001 and I'm still having the same issues so the problem is yet to be solved...

Everytime I do a mass download from my empeg to my HD, some folders are re-backed up every time. I think it has something to do with comma's in the album name or song title... Example songs are:

Live at the Roxy, Hollywood, California, May 26, 1976 - The Complete Concert

and this track:

Makin' A Living / Hot Wheels (The Chase) / Theme, The / Gimmie Some Love - Kenny Dope/The Powerhouse Three/Badder Than Evil/Unique 3/Love Corporation.

Also, some folders won't back up at all. I THINK it's folders where I use a colon...

Anyone run into this before? Is there a fix?

I've gotten to the point where I deliberately remove all Windows-illegal characters from all tags, just so I don't run into problems like this. For example, instead of a colon I'll use a hyphen.

Ideally, Jemplode shouldn't barf on illegal characters, it should just be nice and convert them to an underscore or something.

By the way, the windows-illegal characters are:

/
\
:
*
?
"
<
>
|

I actually cleanse MOST characters ... I might have missed colon or something. I think they turn into _'s actually. I'll have to look when I have a free moment. Been 100x busier than normal recently with the new job.

Mike,

Ok, I have tested all the questionable characters by putting a /, a , and a : into the song name and the album title name, and I can't get jemplode to NOT download the file. I have whole directories of files that jemplode just refuses to download, and I can't figure out why.

Should I get you a sample of a file that can't be downloaded with jemplode so you could see if it's something else?

If there is a playlist with a weird character in it, it's possible that's untested -- So is it literally an entire playlist that isn't downloaded?

Can you run jemplode from the console and send me the output from when you try to download?

java -jar jemplode.jar > output.txt

Ok, I've attached the output file. It looks like all the files that didn't back up are listed in the file. Check out the Danny Elfman directory - the whole thing doesn't get backed up...

The songs that used to re-back up every time I would do a back up isn't happening when I run java from the console, which is weird...

So "unknown source" - sounds like a directory name or file name problem...

Also, here's the contents for both Danny Elfman directories. I originally backed up the 2nd directory using emplode, that's why it's even in there. jemplode just ignores that directory...
