Hi!
In a dedicated minimal Debian 3.1 stable system for freevo
I installed hotplug (for automatic module loading), udev
(for automatic special device nodes creation in /dev) and
usbmount (for automatic mounting of usb storage devices;
very straightforward tool: no desktop environmet required).
After doing so, whenever I connect an USB storage device,
its filesystem gets mounted on /media/usb0.
So far so good. I had then added aproppiate items in
AUDIO_ITEMS, VIDEO_ITEMS and IMAGE_ITEMS in my
configuration file to access the /media/usb0 directory from
freevo and it worked like a charm, until I discovered the
existance of the usbmount plugin and I wanted the "USB
device" menu item I statically added in AUDIO_ITEMS,
VIDEO_ITEMS and IMAGE_ITEMS to only be displayed when an
actual USB device was connected. :-)
So I activated the usb and usbstorage plugins as described
in the documentation:
plugin.activate('usb')
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('USB Device', '/media/usb0'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='audio', args=('USB Device', '/media/usb0'))
plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='image', args=('USB Device', '/media/usb0'))
...and removed the static entries for /media/usb0 from
AUDIO_ITEMS, VIDEO_ITEMS and IMAGE_ITEMS.
The menu item "USB Device" now indeed dissapears when there
is no USB storage device connected, but when there is one
something weird happens: in the "USB Device" item from the
audio menu freevo shows only images and not audio files.
This problem was already reported before in [1].

Is the other poster reading this? Did you find a solution,
