Panasonic SJ-MR250 not detected

[FlabberQuestion]

I see the device listed in: https://github.com/gavinbenda/linux-minidisc/blob/master/libnetmd/netmd_dev.c

Line 84: {0x04, 0x23b3, "Panasonic SJ-MR250"},

It shows up correctly in my Device Manager in Windows 10 with he correct driver, but Platinum-MD doesn't detect it.

It shows when i click n help and look at my Connected Devices from within Platinum-MD

Any idea what could be wrong? I was assuming since the device is listed in libnetmd it would work.

[FlabberQuestion]

I found out what was wrong here.

The device is incorrectly listed in the netmd_dev.c file

{0x04, 0x23b3, "Panasonic SJ-MR250"},

It should be:

{0x04da, 0x23b3, "Panasonic SJ-MR250"},

Can this be updated please?

Great detective work - I actually have the same model, and will give it a test as well.

Hi @gavinbenda I have some more information. I ran a test using @deenine test code. For what it's worth here are the results, 1 FAIL. I don't know if this automatically means that it would also fail in Platinum, I would assume so?

Hi @gavinbenda,

Just out of curiosity. On a windows machine with Platinum-MD installed, what file does the program use to identify the known Net-MD devices? An equivalent to this file https://github.com/gavinbenda/linux-minidisc/blob/master/libnetmd/netmd_dev.c

Is that compiled in the EXE or a DLL file? Is there a way for an end user to add the device in some way? And if not, would such a thing be an option to implement?

No clue what you are saying, try to translate, we started this in English.

This is done in two places, here by the Platinum-MD UI, this is used to detect that a device is present, display the device ID at the top of the right hand pane, show status messages, etc.

It is also done here for the linux-minidisc interface that does the communications with the minidisc device, this is compiled into the netmdcli.exe here.

@gavinbenda Awesome, thanks for the explanation!

[FlabberQuestion]

Ooops sorry @deenine I didn't see you replied, my bad!

[FlabberQuestion]

@gavinbenda @deenine Just a heads up that @asivery Fixed this in https://github.com/cybercase/netmd-js/issues/27 for Web Minidisc

Hello, sorry to revive the thread, but I acquired a Panasonic SJ-MR250 recently. I switched the unit to NetMD mode and connected it to my Apple M1 Mac Mini. Platinum-MD was able to detect the unit, but it took forever to "Negotiate with device". I've followed the instruction to install Platinum-MD and all required libraries. Did I miss anything? Thanks

It's been a while I used this device but if I remember correctly it has never been fixed in Platinum. The device works in https://web.minidisc.wiki/

Understood. Thanks
