Why does MTP suck so much? And why is it so popular?

because theres no other alternative

Fucking SSH into the device if you don't like it retard

>>55171526
Because it just werks without the device you're connecting to needing to unmount the storage.

How the fuck does it suck? It does what it's supposed to do.

MTP doesn't work for me on Debian stretch when connected to my Moto E 2nd gen.

>Why does MTP suck so much?
because it's made by microsoft
>And why is it so popular?
because Google wanted it to

And the sacrifice for that is unbelievable.

Transfer speed down the drain.
Can't tranfer files and changes directories at the same time
MTP database might be out of date. No way to force update of database.

This is just some of the problems I have found. Not worth it when the alternative was just mounting the device.

werked for me on every linux distro ive had
either your kernel is old as fuck, or you need to download a plugin (thunar for example requires one)

>but moooooom, i can't create folders and simultaneously copy all my animu porn on them on my phone RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Not that guy, it does work but its slow as fuck even on a new machine, because of the protocol, not the device/s
It lags and only allows one operation at a time. I can live with it usually but I really wish there was something better and that google had just created their own version.

first post, best post as always.

It´s also really annoying that the media scanner doesn´t work for files transfered over ftp or other wireless solutions.

I have to reboot my phone after transfering a few mp3´s to get them to show up in music apps. What the fuck?

>>55172004
that is probably be your OS or media player fault

>>55172035
It´s the fault of androids media scanner. Happened on every phone I owned that uses mtp.
It seems like it´s only scanning for new files when there was a mtp connection.
