Ok, I went and tested this again to look more carefully. I'm running 2.0b11 empeg and emplode. I'm also running Hijack v. 263
I had 36MB free on the player. I first threw in a 40MB file. The free space went into negative numbers and when I tried to sync, it gave me an error saying there wasn't enough free space. I then threw in 3 MP3s files that were approximately 10MB each. The free space indicator told me I still had 2.95MB free. I went to sync and got absolutely no warnings before hand. It seemed to upload the first file fine, but when it got to the second file, it stopped and went straight to rebuilding. When it finished, it gave me errors on the two other files, saying space was below allowed minimum. It also gave me an error that my playlist did not match actual number of children detected.
I closed the error box and went back to the playlist that I had put the files into. The first file was in there fine. But, the other two files were nowhere to be found. The playlist was marked as changed, though. Also, my free space indicator went back up to 25MB.
So, it looks like there are two issues here. First, the free space indicator is incorrect. It should take into account the amount of free space that is needed for the empeg to work, and adjust accordingly. Then, you really can fill your empeg to 0MB free space and still be ok. Right now, it looks like you can't go under around 25MB.
The other issue is that files that have errors on them when uploading should not be removed from the playlists. They should stay there, marked as changed, so that I can make fixes as necessary, without having to remember what I put where.
