NetMD Wizard sees all discs as write protect

[hermanvsg]

I'm using an Sony CMT-M3333NT (Type-S) and I get the following error:

[Jo2003]

Hi! Are you using Windows? Is the correct driver installed (zadig tool)? Does WebMiniDisc work? Is WebMiniDisc running while you use NetMD Wizard?

I have never tested such device. Maybe the log says a little more. Please go into settings and set the trace level to "debug". After that press the "re-load MD" button. Please attach the log to this issue!

Thanks!

Hi! Using Windows 11 and WebMiniDisc Pro works fine using the same MiniDisc.

Debug log attached. cd2netmd_gui.log

[Jo2003]

Thanks for the log. The MD isn't the issue. Communication with the device doesn't work at all. There is always a pipe error: 2023-07-11 16:30:46|CRITICAL|sendCmd():358: libusb_control_transfer failed! Pipe error

Is webminidisc pro still open (or another software accessing your NetMD device?

[hermanvsg]

Nothing open. I checked both Webminidisc pro and it connects to the unit right away, same as for Platinum no issue connecting.

I will check and re-install Zadig to see if it makes any difference.

I'll have a look at the netmd++ library. Maybe the first call of waitForSync() makes the issue. I'll attach a modified version of the dll when ready. Please test it. First I have to have a look.

[hermanvsg]

Found the issue: I have a Sony USB COMM driver for some reason.

After I disabled it NetMD Wizard works fine.

Great work

[Jo2003]

Nice! Thanks for posting the solution!
