Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Control:Mac export problem

Hi everyone,

I import everything through a Mac Pro onto the TwinStore, which has worked well for several years. Last year I set it to export everything automatically to a thunderbolt-attached RAID partition. That worked perfectly with all the stored music and every new import until this summer. It simply stopped the automatic export. No hardware or software change at the time.

I have upgraded to Sooloos 467 and now 477 with no change. I have now set new folders on different RAID partitions and also on a second RAID, with no change. It simply will not export anything to one of the attached RAIDs, either automatically or even just an individually selected album.

The tracks just sit on the screen in the export list with parentheses around the track names and nothing happens - usually the parentheses disappear as the tracks are exported. All the material on the RAID is otherwise accessible to the computer. However, it will export anything and everything to a folder on the desktop.

I know there have been other posts about export problems and hope that this is not just a repeat. The automatic export was really useful, providing a backup and a source for non-Sooloos playback.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Did you get this resolved? I also have the same problem.

Hi,

Yes I did. All of my attempts set it up had been using "export format" as the format choice, even though the controlmac settings were set up to do nothing to the file's format. As soon as I changed to "native format" (which also does nothing to the file's format) everything was back on track, and it now exports every new addition out to the raid automatically.

Thanks for the interest.

Ross.

I'm not sure where you're referring to when you say export format, but in Control:Mac settings I can see a button called "Export Format", but in this there are only 3 main options:

- None
- MP3
- AAC

Whilst I was unsure which to select, I'd read somewhere that selecting "None" leads to nothing exporting, so chose to use highest setting of AAC (I'd already done this before, as well as tried "None" option).

Separately, I realised that I had not tried turning off my MC200 and turning on again. When I tried this, everything started exporting automatically as soon as it started. My whole collection is now exported, but it's also worth pointing out that I imported a new album yesterday and it has not exported this yet.
