OSX: Mass storage media player not recognized (iRiver H340)

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Connect H340

2. Wait for device to be mounted as USB HDD (att. clem1.png)
3. Open clementine and switch to Devices tab What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The device should show up in the device list, but it does not. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Never worked up to, and including 1.1.1 on OS X 10.6.8 Please provide any additional information below. A SanDisk Sansa Clip+ works fine (att. clem2.png, clem3.png). The both devices have different icons in Finder (att. clem4.png), so possibly they are also handled as different device types.

Turn of Clementine. Mount your device as you normally would. Run Clementine from the console. It should mention your devices somewhere near the top. Post whatever information gets thrown at you. This will help to establish whether Clementine is completely oblivious of your device or whether it's simply struggling to manage it. It would be helpful if you had another device connected as well. That Rockbox media player should do.

Hi and thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, clementine will just print:

user@host:/Applications/clementine.app/Contents/MacOS$ ./clementine --log-levels '*:3' 00:00:00.000 WARN unknown QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread [...]

and that is it (I will get a few DEBUG messages once I start playback but nothing about connected devices). In general I was wondering if the log levels are not picked up properly or if the debug output is just so sparse...

Running ./clementine --log-levels '*:0' suppresses the output, so that seems to work.

Those are related messages from the console:

This does not appear to be particularly useful but the best I could come up with for now. Any other ideas would be highly appreciated.

I tried figuring out the source related to this (which is hopefully https://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/source/browse/src/devices/macdevicelister.mm ) but unfortunately don't know the intricacies. My suspicion is still that devices recognized as HDDs are skipped. I did not try if I get the same behavour with a regular HDD though.

There's no need for --log-levels; did you try with just ‘./clementine’?

Internal HDDs are skipped but a USB HDD should come up and it seems that that's what your device is detected as by your OS, no?

On the first try, I just ran clementine without arguments to no avail...and yes, it is reported as 'Removable Media' and 'Detachable Drive' by the OS, just not sure to which extent this is handled similarly by clementine.
