SC6000 not showing USB playlist in secondary player

Engine DJ Hardware Media Players
1

Hi

I have two USB devices created with rekordbox that I am testing on my SC6000 players.

  • One is a Sandisk Ultra 256gb pendrive
  • The other is a Samsung Bar Plus 256gb pen drive.

Both players, principal and secondary, can read the Sandisk files, display playlist corrrectly. I’m not very happy with how fast the player reads but it is pretty stable, altough from time to time secondary player does not attempts to analyze the track wave and bpm when loaded. This is usually fixed shutting down the player and on again.

What really annoys me is that the Samsung Bar, despite of being an incredible fast unit, only works fine in the principal player. It is recognized by the secondary player, but playlist are not available.

What a strange thing to experience, that different brands show different behaviors on the players.

Is anyone experiencing something similar? Any clue on how I can solve the samsung not displaying playlist on the secondary device?

Thanks in advance!

  • Are both drives formatted exFAT?
  • Was the content written to both drives by the same version of Engine DJ?
  • Are both SC6000 players running the same firmware?

Based on what you’ve written (reading between the lines) I’m assuming that you have the two players networked together, and you’re only inserting the drive into one player, and attempting to read it from the other?

If that’s the case, does the Samsung read correctly when it’s inserted directly to each player?

Both pen drives are on fat32 (but i also tried formattibg the samsung as exfat)

The players are connected via ethernet cable. Same firmware, they are updated.

I used rekordbox to create the playlist, altough I also made Engine read the metatags and analyze the songs.

The Samsung is being correctly read in each player, but playlist are not available in the secondary one. No matter which one I introduce the pen drive in, the other won’t work.

So,

I’ve been doing further tests and this is what I’ve found out so far:

  • After formating the Samsung Bar Pen Drive and addling just a couple of lists with no more than 50 tracks I can insert it in any of the two players and both master and slave will read it and display the playlist.

That makes me think that I may have some content in my rekordbox collection that does not get allong well with the Denon players. So, here’s a new thread to pull from: is there any specific format allowed in rekordbox that would end up being corrupt in Denon?
