omonte Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hello, I have an mp3 player that when plugged in to a "Windows" computer gets identified as "Other" of type "Portable Media Player", instead of "removable disk", and doesn't get assigned a drive letter. Is there any way for autoit to recognize this device? The built in function 'DriveGetDrive( "all" )' does not detect it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 That device is not presenting itself as a removable drive to the host, so it's fairly consistent that Windows can't access it as a drive. You might find code to deal with USB at low level from AutoIt, but be prepared to a non trivial task. Some digital cameras do so as well, but most smart devices have a software or hardware switch to decide how they behave (drive or media stuff).

jchd Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Try the forum search as I seem to recall having seen something in this domain, possibly in the example scripts forum. Best of luck!
