The only problem is the BS/BM5 will not see the new music files on the external USB disk directly. (like it would if you copy it to the standard disk in the music  directory). But a quick reboot sees them directly and will put them under "recently added"

Hi all,

A little update 

During the weekend i looked through the Music and it was a mess 

had bmmusic/music/music so i got it cleaned and did the update last nite but today after i had listened to a CD it started the reboot again 

so i did a new update deleted the database 

so i will see tomorrow if it is start the rebooting again then i have to do a complete delete of all the music and start adding it all slowly again

i will report back within the next few days

A little update 

it is still rebooting so if anyone have a good idea what to do before i delete all my music and start again

then please let me know

Hi Michael,

Have you already run the recovery process?

If not I would also look at the event logs to see if there is anything contained therein that gives an indication as to what is causing the reboots before you perform the recovery process.

As I mentioned before, if you do end up needing to copy your music across again, I would do this over the network as this will help to ensure the files end up in the right place, without the risk of corrupting the file system (this may be happening when you are removing the drive and attaching it to another computer to copy your music across), and that the files are stored with the correct NTFS file ownership & permissions.

You don't have to use the beoconnect app. The BM5 will the folder automatically (just make sure you have configured a password in the menus of the BS5).

I think you mentioned before that you were a mac user, so hit command+K in finder to bring up the connect to server window, then enter:

smb://192.168.1.10/BM-Share/Music

(substituting the IP address above for that of *your* BM5)

You can then drag your music files into that folder a batch at a time, allowing enough time for the BM to index for MOTS, and testing whether you experience any issues between each new batch of music files.

Kind Regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

yes i did the recovery and even deleted the Databases just now i did another recovery and what is weird the wheel is extremely unresponsive and when press go on a Album it takes about 2 minutes before it starts to play.

i think i will delete all the music if the problem aint solved with this recovery my problem is i dont have a cabled network only a wireless connection and that one is dropping out pretty often can that be a problem ?

Hi Michael,

The unresponsiveness is probably because the BM is busy doing stuff in the background - rebuilding databases, MOTS, etc. I'd give it a little time to see of it resolves itself.

It will be much quicker and more reliable of you can set up a wired network for copying your music across if at all possible. Depending on where the music is being copied from this could be as simple as configuring a static IP on both devices and using plugging in a cable between them.

Hi Martin,

it have not rebooted for the last 3 hours 🙂 in standby mode even though i cleaned and look through the directories maybe there still is some crappy files 

but i will try to see what happens during the weekend (just let it be in stand by mode)

Hi All,

it looks like it finally worked out for me.

at the 17TH January i made a new clone and started adding the music over the network and 1 month later 

there is still no reboot a few unknown artist but that is easy to fix

Thank you so much for all your help with these problems i had 🙂

Cheers 

Michael
