Save photos on the way

Danik

Hi,

do you how to save photos of my digicam on my meizu player?

my old player could connect the cam via an usb-wire and my player showed the folders of cam in the browser.

I heard that I need something like an usb hub...

This function was called OTG (On The Go) - and it is same as USB Host. But now, it is disabled due to errors when transferring. Maybe, in future versions will be back again.

Danik

but i need extra hardware, do I?

just a full size usb connector (the present on the battery case or any mini-USB to USB adapter)

glacier

ah, sadly, the m6 currently doesn't support OTG. but i've heard that the external battery pack does? in any case, i do hope meizu will implement the OTG sooner than later. i have some pics in my handphone that i want to transfer to my m6.

Danik

Hi, hello,

I read in a french forum that meizu allows OTG with frimware T1.010:

can cou corroborate this?

Anywhere in my flat lies an adapter


do I need a bridge or just this adapter above?


Bye

it will suppport OTG... seem that you could use that adapter in order to get a full USB port to plug devices. You can also use the Meizu External Battery Case

Danik

if i understand youn (and the french website) correctly I can use the external battery case for transfering files form my usb source (digicam) to the m6?

Betacart

It must be also supported by FW. Current version S 1.010 or S1.010.3 does not support it.

Danik

I#ve got the T version.

marcelo1251

TP will support it as well.

liquidsense

Marcelo,

I'm a bit confused. You're not saying that T1.010 currently supports OTG, correct? But you are certain that it "will support OTG"? Just curious.

(I'm still using T1.009)

Danik

Well, I'm a bit confused too. Everyone says something different.
So TP1.010 does support OTG and I can youse the external battery case for transferring files?!

bye

marcelo1251

Ok, here's the real deal. Both versions TP and SP will support the OTG as said by Meizu. In the Current version V1.010 is not yet supported, but as all of you know, they made an important change on file structure and internal management (not big external changes though) that hopefully will let miniplayer to accept devices pluged to it... of course in the V1.011 :D

I hope they get that out soon... I have plans on trying to build myself an M6 case with a built in something-Gigabyte microdrive (or flash drive) that plugs into the mini USB port so I can carry all my music with me to transfer at any time. Seeing this info about the battery pack being able to be used to plug USB devices into makes me wonder if I can tear one open and incorporate a separate power source for both the microdrive and the miniplayer.

I'd be tearing apart a bunch of things and rewiring to do this, though, but if it worked, it'd be a hell of a deal! Great player with all my music with me, still in a small package!

you need the external battery pack if you need to power the device you are connecting via the USB, (exanmple USB memory sticks). if the device has its own power like cameras etc it should be ok to use an adapter cable.

The miniplayer can not power USB devices from its own battery and need the external battery pack for that.
