Maschine+ Suddenly No-longer Loading Library from SD

Hi, I have a Maschine Plus, it is showing up to date, no issues. When I first set it up I reset everything and inserted a 512gb SD card which I then formatted with the Maschine+. As of this week, the Maschine+ in standalone is only showing 11 items installed , no updates, and 33 items available. It also shows 414.0 GB available.

I think I may have put it in controller mode earlier this week when I was rearranging - orange power light, left screen Maschine+ right screen Production and Performance System. I put it back into standalone mode and it still does not recognize my library products.

If I rescan, it sometimes sees everything, but not always.

If I eject storage, it still shows 11 installed and 414GB free. If I rescan, it shows the 11 and says no SD card. If I reinsert the SD, the CPU thinks for a while as it rescans. It may or may not find them.

If I power cycle the M+, we are back to the beginning.

Any ideas?

    Sounds like there is something wrong with your SD Card, is it full size or one of those tiny ones that require and adapter?

    It is full size and exceeds the uhs-I and other specs needed. I ran chkdsk on it and it did find file errors that were fixed. I reran full scan and it found no further errors. Everything looks fine in windows explorer. I put it back in today and still shows 414gb free and only 11 items installed.

    I've experienced this issue too. A workaround was to redownload one of the smaller items, wait a minute or two, then the maschine plus seemed to reindex/reload the other items on the SD card.

    I think I'd backup de SD, format it, then move the files back just to be sure its clean.

    Oohh good tip. Maybe this is related to database corruption, on the desktop version the procedure is to delete the it for the SW to regenerate the database but I'm not sure if that would work on the M+ standalone, maybe just installing something does the same thing.

    Worth mentioning that the re-indexed addons only persist when the maschine is plugged in. It doesn't need to be turned on, just plugged in so the on button is lit and red. Unplugging the maschine for more than around 30 seconds will cause the addons to disappear again. It's very odd as it suggests the library index is held in RAM rather than any persistent storage.

    I'm going to try reimaging the SD card as maybe there's a corrupt index there. I rarely use my machine so MLC cards can loose integrity if they're not read often enough. I have an industrial SLC card in a cupboard somewhere but it's only 8GB so wouldn't be much use.
