First of all, thank you very much Ghisler!!, not only for this plugin but for TotalCommander!

I want to know if it's possible to edit groups of mp3s tags of my media player (Creative Zen Vision M) directly from your plugin. I want to edit, for example, all the songs in a folder. I know that I can modify the tags individually but, that's a way to do it in group?

Thanks a lot!

How do you edit the mp3 tags? The media player plugin doesn't offer this function, it just allows to access your device, so you must be using some other way...

Thanks for the report. When exactly do you get this error? E.g. when uploading, downloading, or just browsing? And in which moment?

Hello,

As I far as I noticed, it pops up only when stepping back to the MediaAudio "folder".

When once inside, I can choose between Phone Memory or Memory Stick, and from there I do not get any errmassage browsing deeper inside the folders...

But it only pops up when entering the "root" folder the second time (the very firs time it goes without errors), but since then, every time does it pop up, twice. I have to click on OK twice, one right after another. No problem, just annoying a bit, you can live with it. Maybe a spec problem of my system.

Best, Gabriel

It's not really an error, it usually means that another part of the media player still accesses the released interface. Therefore I have removed this debug message now.

A new beta of the Windows Media Device plugin is available at the usual URLs:

Windows Media Device plugin 0.76 beta

Thank you!

It works now like a dream!

This plugin is a must for users of such MTP Devices!

Great work!

Best regards, Gabriel

I have creative zen. Embedded artworks can't be transfered. In other words, mp3 transfered but its artwork is not visible in zen.

I'm aware of it, but unfortunately I didn't find any solution. There is no documentation on how to transfer artwork, sorry.

I have a Sony Ericsson C702 cell phone. I've read in this thread that this plugin works for this kind of phones.

But when I connect the USB cable to the phone and enable the Multimedia Transfer option, a camera device appears on "My Computer", but the plugin doesn't detect any device (only detects the 4in1 card reader installed on my PC).

I also tried disabling the PC card reader, but then nothing appears inside the MediaAudio device.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I made a quick Google search for your phone and found this:

Thanks, Mr. Ghisler!

After writing my last post, I started to read the MTP Wikipedia article, and I realized I had to install WMP11 or the WMP11 runtimes for MTP to work on Windows XP.

I downloaded WMP11 installer and extracted the runtimes from it (wmfdist11.exe, just for the record).

I installed the runtime libraries, and then I needed to uninstall the NoMTP drivers of my Sony Ericsson cell phone, so it gets recognized as a MTP device.

Unfortunately, when Windows recognizes it as a MTP device, I get an error on driver installation, saying something like: "Error on device installation. A section of the services installation in this INF isn't valid".

And I've been reading some people have had similar problems (same error message), probably related to the Sony Ericsson drivers installed before, and they only get to solve them by reinstalling the OS.

So I've just desisted and will use it on a non-MTP related way. I'd better buy an USB memory stick micro card reader., and will test it again on a future OS installation Sad

EDIT: OK, solved!!

After reading a little more, I learnt that, beside of installing the runtime files (wmfdist11.exe), I had also to extract and install the User Mode driver framework (umdf.exe inside the WMP11 installation file).

And now the plugin is working fantastically!!

Thanks a lot for such a great plugin, Mr. Ghisler!!

Thanks for sharing your solution! Btw, my plugin also works with older versions of Windows Media Player, but some phones or mp3 players may indeed require WMP11.

You're welcome!

Anyway, I wouldn't have had any problems if I had installed WMP11 from start...

But I don't wanted that piece of bloatware to be installed on my system, so I started reading how to get the Media Transfer Protocol working without WMP11.

And, as I previously said, it's just a matter of extracting and installing wmfdist11.exe and umdf.exe from the WMP11 setup package, and the uninstalling any non-MTP drivers from your system.

Thanks for your interest!

Can you add rating column, so we can delete low rated tracks easily like mediamonkey do?
