Continuing in this thread as it's mainly to do with my rsyncing project.

For testing I have a small set of files locally that I can use to rsync with the empeg - about 20 mp3s and playlists - but the playlists and database files are simply the empty ones as originally created by jEmplode when there was no music at all. IOW, they do not correspond to the files that get uploaded.

After the sync the player app will not start, it just gives a lot of error messages of which this is the end:-

error: -12

The first line gets repeated a LOT first.

I thought that the player app would rebuild the appropriate files if there was a mismatch, why is it having such a problem here?

My intention is that the correct and matched playlist and database files will be uploaded at the same time with the music files and playlists, so this shouldn't be a problem in any case, but I want to get some idea of what's going on here.

Any suggestions as to what is the problem for the player?
