Loading Media Files to iPod #128

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Quod Libet is not able to load media files properly to my iPod Nano, and
I'm  forced to use Rhythmbox for this. That is, QL just copies the files
and folders as is, but iPod needs them to be distributed among special folders.

I'm also affected by #102 — at some point Quod Libet refused to start when
the device is connected.

Which Nano? QL version? OS version?

iPod Nano 3G, Model No.: A1236. Quod Libet 2.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). Quod 
Libet
package version is 2.0-1ubuntu2.

Also, #102 doesn't seem to affect me any more.

Aww, the Nano Chubby!

Can't reproduce, although it's a fair bet that it's not being detected as an 
iPod for
some reason. HFS+ or FAT partition type? Does the device have an iPod icon in 
the
Media Devices browser?

Sorry for the delay.

The partition is FAT. The device is shown in the Media Devices browser with some
generic icon which looks like a floppy drive.

Test if the gpod Python module can be imported. Run 'python' from a command 
line,
then run 'import gpod'. If it throws an exception, libgpod's python bindings 
aren't
installed; find 'em in your distro's package manager. If not, HAL might not be
detecting your iPod properly. I'll try to reproduce using Ubuntu, but I'd also 
try
restoring your iPod from a Windows machine to see if that causes the iPod to be
identified correctly.

Ah, that's it! Sorry, I got an impression that quodlibet installs with all 
necessary
modules as dependencies and I didn't see any import errors in the pluglins 
dialog.

After installing python-gpod quodlibet detects my iPod, I can see the iPod 
icon. Thanks!

Sorry for related-topic question, but does gpod also support the iPhone?  Or am 
I
stuck with iTunes on a windows machine?  I tried installing gpod, but doesn't 
seem to
detect the device.

BarronShaw: No, sorry. Apple uses a proprietary method to communicate with 
iPhones
over USB which hasn't yet been reverse-engineered.

As I did not say: this is still open because the 'ipod' device backend should 
warn
the user when libgpod is not found.

I have added a print_w for this.

I'd say that's sufficient. Simple but effective.

So now that Rhythmbox supports iPhone/iPod in Ubuntu 10, any chance this will 
happen in Quod Libet?

Does it work for you using Rhythmbox?

According to the libgpod changelog there is no API change, so it "should" just 
work.

Yes, Rhythmbox works OK, but no QL does not.

I can't get QL to recognize the iphone.  Other media players are recognized.  
Ubuntu recognizes the device immediately and launches both QL and Picasa (my 
default photo software), but QL can't browse the music.  I can browse using 
Nautilus.

I played around a little more..  Quod Libet has often given me problems with 
devices.  I've found that the problem can often be fixed by editing the 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi, similar 
to the suggestion here... 
http://blog.pcode.nl/2006/08/24/introducing-hal-to-your-digital-audio-player/ . 

But I haven't been able to get it to work with my iPhone 3 yet.  QL doesn't 
show any device attached.
