[Bug 253785] Re: Apps can't sync with Rockbox
Following comment #9, I added the file .is_audio_player to my Rockbox device (ipod 60Gb v5.5) so that I could specify the location of Playlists directory when syncing with Banshee (1.8.0). I've tried setting/adding the line playlist_path=Playlists/ to the file, the default for Rockbox, but Banshee still added my playlists to the path Music/Playlists. Thus, it seems Banshee isn't reading my .is_audio_player file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253785 Title: Apps can't sync with Rockbox -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253785] Re: Apps can't sync with Rockbox
Following on from my last comment (#12), I've created a script which rsync's my playlists to the path Playlists/ (on the Rockbox device) and then converts from the format .m3u to .m3u8 (smaller files + seems to be preferred by Rockbox... can an option to use m3u8 be added to Banshee?) This needs to be used after syncing with Banshee (i.e., shut Banshee down) with the Rockbox device still plugged in. ** Attachment added: fix_rockbox_playlists.bash https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/253785/+attachment/1762420/+files/fix_rockbox_playlists.bash -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253785 Title: Apps can't sync with Rockbox -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 253785] Re: Apps can't sync with Rockbox
Syncing Banshee 1.5.1 with Rockbox 3.4 (both the latest stable version) is like a dream. Banshee displays the device as Rockbox Device and syncs all the music, videos (you have to preconvert them), and podcasts you could want, giving you options to sync automatically and whatnot. It even syncs album art! The other cool trick is that your Rockbox device acts as a remote for Banshee, meaning pressing pause on your device pauses the music in Banshee! -- Apps can't sync with Rockbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253785] Re: Apps can't sync with Rockbox
I have been spending some time patching Banshee for Android to work - so, I got to know the code a bit. I had an old ipod, I put rockbox on, as well, and was able to get it to work marvelously with Banshee by including the file .is_audio_player on the iPod root directory. You CANNOT leave it empty though as was suggested above. The file should contain: audio_folders=Music/,Videos/ video_folders=Videos/ folder_depth=2 output_formats=application/ogg,audio/x-ms-wma,audio/mpeg,audio/mp4,audio/x-wav playlist_format=audio/x-mpegurl playlist_path=Playlists/ cover_art_file_name=cover.jpg cover_art_file_type=jpeg cover_art_size=320 It works great - it syncs music, podcasts, video, coverart (you need rockbox 3.0) and playlists (to Music/Playlists directory) perfectly. I could easily write a patch for Banshee to have it look for .rockbox and then automatically use these settings. But, I don't think it is a good idea because a lot of rockbox users dual boot with the original iPod firmware and still want to sync the iPod db with banshee. If you want to sync to Rockbox instead, add that file. -- Apps can't sync with Rockbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 253785] Re: Apps can't sync with Rockbox
Ok, I talked to the Banshee Dev. on IRC on if we can incorporate those settings from the above .is_audio_player file into Banshee. He agreed it was a bad idea to do it by default if a .rockbox folder is found due to the dual booting issue. But, I am going to try to create an option for the user that if .rockbox is found on an ipod it asks the user whether they want to treat the device an iPod or as Rockbox device with the above settings. I will try to work on it this weekend.

[Bug 253785] Re: Apps can't sync with Rockbox
As far as I understand Danny he is having the same problem I had: when an iPod is attached applications like Rhythmbox or Banshee show the device and display the tracks on the device as they are listed in the iPod's database. The applications access the files on the device through the iPod's database. When Rockbox is installed on the iPod all media files are just 'dumped' on the device and the iPod must then be treated as any old USB mass storage device with media files on it. (An iTunes/iPod database on the device is then not feasible anymore since it would require iTunes to keep it up to date, also this DB is of no use to Rockbox). For Banshee there is a solution: disable the iPod plugin and add an empty file called '.is_audio_player' in the root directory of the iPod. Banshee will then treat the iPod like a USB mass storage device, ignoring the iPod database and directly accesing the media files. Details for the Banshee solution are here: http://wiki.banshee- project.org/Guide/DAPs/MassStorageDevices -- Apps can't sync with Rockbox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You may find it helpful to read How to report bugs effectively [WWW] http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at [WWW] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures At a minimum, we need: 1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem, 2. the behavior you expected, and 3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
