Package: gtkpod Version: 0.88-1 Severity: normal The new gtkpod (0.88) package should have support for the iPod Shuffle, but it doesn't work. The Shuffle fails to play anything after sync.
It seems, that the iTunesDB has a wrong field in the header. The version number for iTunes software must be the highest available for the shuffle. (0x0C from http://www.ipodlinux.org/ITunesDB#Database_Object) If this value is changed, everything seems to work for the shuffle. I don't have anything other than a iPod Shuffle, so i couldn't test it on other iPods. You could use the patch i will attach, but its just one line in itunesdb.c Greetings, Jörg :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-tpx40 Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages gtkpod depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.1-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.2-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libid3tag0 0.15.1b-4 ID3 tag reading library from the M ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio -- no debconf information
