Sorry for the late reply – Easter is here, meaning family time (at least in DK) :). I got the Encore working again. The MOTS was already off, but I did take an external HD and transferred all the music there. The HDD worked with the Encore, which made me go back to the USB. And then it worked. So thinking maybe it just needed to load everything to the memory in order to read correctly. Not sure, but as said, it works now. I also got reminded that an HDD is a lot faster in reading data than an USB drive. Maybe a good reminder when having so much data available.
Once again, thanks for all the help and sparring 🙂
Hi MM,
Thanks for the answer. I have no remote for it, but it is in the sunlight. But that has never been a problem before. So I did some testing and took out my USB key which stores my music. I had just added on another 30 GB. And low and behold, the unit stopped turning on. So I figured that was the issue. Then I remembered another thing, I just pulled out the USB when the transfer was done without using windows option to push out the USB when done. I just tested that, but with no luck it seems. It still turns on. I have an external HDD, which I will try instead tomorrow. I find it odd that extra storage makes it turn on.
Hi all,
just wanted to give an Update om progress, also for anyone else who might find this thread useful. So i did the resizing of the images, which helped in some cases. However, i found that editing the metadata, even though it was correct, changed the situation. Since i had challenges with the artist name not showing and instead was under various, i just changed that. Or actually i deleted it in mp3tag and wrote it again and saved when prompted. This looks like it has fixed the issue. At least from the tests i have made so far.
so basically what i learned was that even though the metadata shows correctly then apparently there can still be something wrong with it. I will continue with this solution and hope i can get everything stored the right Way on the Encore.
once again, thanks everyone for your help on this matter.
Hi both,
Thank you your answers. And sorry for the late reply. Busy weekend. I did get the wifi connection going on the Encore. Not sure how, but now I am receiving internet radio at least. Not sure why it did not work before, but the solution is still the same. Ethernet cable straight to the router.
In regards to the meta data, then I know some albums have images that is bigger than the 600 x 600 mentioned, as I have tagged them myself and did not think of the size. However, I will give that a go and run through all of them to ensure the size is correct. Not sure if will do the trick, but worth a try at least.
Once again, thank you for all the help and answers here!
Hi again
Some follow up info, after going through the system again then I found out that it is the BS5 Encore system. Which means, as I understand, it has no hard drive to store files, but instead is reliant on having it from an external source. Not sure if this alters anything?
Hi Mr10Percent
Thank you for the welcome and the answer. This was very useful. Just a clarifying question before I start. Do you mean I should not use the USB stick as the place to store music? And rather get the network going and follow the process you describe? I am not certain of the HD space on it, but I will look into it 🙂
Once again thank you!
