Banshee and a USB MP3 Player
 
|
I have a no-name MP3 player. It's nice and I like it. I have used this player with banshee for months and I love the combination.
Suddenly and without warning, Banshee no longer notices it when it get's plugged in. Ubuntu see it, mounts it, and opens a file window for it. Rythmbox (If I wanted to use that with my player) sees it and is happy. I even got Amarok to see the player. But for some reason, after 2 months, Banshee suddenly has declared it invisible. I have tried recreating the .is_audi_player with no luck. I tried upgrading banshee to the new version - no luck. I even started grasping at straws and plugged it into different USB ports on the computer with no luck. I looked at HAL and Ubuntu is fat and happy with the player. Banshee seems to be the problem. Has anyone else had this problem before? _______________________________________________ Banshee-list mailing list [hidden email] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/banshee-list |

I reported the same problem a couple of weeks back..
I'm thinking it may be some incompatibility between banshee and a support library (Different version in Ubuntu Hardy ?); /maybe/ building banshee from source might fix it.. Haven't had the time and energy to try that yet. TimT. 2008/5/4 Timothy Collins <[hidden email]>: > I have a no-name MP3 player. It's nice and I like it.

Have you been using the .is_audio_player file in the root of the
player's file system? That might help.

Yep.. .is_audio_player in the root of the file system
As Timothy said, and as I can confirm: It used to work, now it doesn't. I really didn't change anything on the Mp3 player(s) (Nokia N95 and a no-name SD card player, that I mostly keep in a desk drawer.)

Yep. it was in the root. Banshee worked with this very player for almost two months straight... then just stopped.
It's not as big of a problem as it could be - the main things I sync to it are podcasts and I can use gPodder for that. I just find it annoying... And I don;t like RythmBox at all.... Banshee is the closest thing to iTunes I have seen on Linux and it is a heckuva good music manager. I just wonder why it decided my MP3 Player doesn't exist all of a sudden...

I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 about 3 days before this, but I had sync the player since then.... Otherwise there were no changes.

Data point:
My problem occurs with the 'production version' 0.13.x, as installed under Ubuntu Hardy. Timewise: - Updated phone: Banshee saw it as a DAP - updated system to Hardy - Discovered Banshee no langer saw my phone as a DAP. Depends on what time I get home, but I think I'll try building Banshee from source tonight or tomorrow; could be something as simple as a binary interface that has changed (I must admit I'm not a C# expert, though) TimT. 2008/5/5 Hyperair <[hidden email]>: > On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 10:39 PM, Gabriel Burt <[hidden email]> > wrote: > > > 2008/5/5 Timothy Collins <[hidden email]>: > > > > > Yep. it was in the root.

You said Banshee had been working for months -- so, are you using Banshee 0.13.2? Hyperair's problems on trunk would be totally unrelated to yours. If Banshee was held constant for you, then something changed in your distro.

Not 100% sure what version I am using (The Linux PC is at home). It was whatever was installed when I used Ubuntu's package manager....

Ok.. managed to find some time to experiment.
- Rebuild banshee from sources on Ubuntu hardy. - installed new package, started banshee - Connected phone : shows up in Nautilus browser, does not show in banshee. (and yes .is_audio_player is there) - Looking through the shell where I started banshee Debug: [5/5/2008 9:06:42 PM] (Testing device for DAP support) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3666_6231 Debug: [5/5/2008 9:06:42 PM] (DAP has not been added) - /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3666_6231 As a data point : connected an Ipod Classic 80Gb; this does show up... Unfortunately, the connection message seems to have scrolled out of sight, but Debug: [5/5/2008 9:16:12 PM] (DAP has been added) - Banshee.Dap.Ipod.IpodDap: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_4A3F_6CEC I found where the message originates, but as I said before : I'm no C# I guess I can always add debug statements and compile again, if some body can suggest a path to investigate (How do I print the device_table ?)

Re: Banshee and a USB MP3 Player

I'm wondering if something changed in the fdi structure in the Hardy
upgrade that changed how Banshee saw it. I think the FDI would be referenced if available before the .is_audio_player file would be given any attention. I may be totally off on this, but it gives you something to look at. At some point I submitted fdi files to Ubuntu for some other devices to identify them as music players. You could probably accomplish this pretty easily.

Ok.. some more data..
I found a reference to N95 in /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-libmtp7.fdi Unfortunately, the key given for this phone is different from what my phone reports (Theirs 0x0421; 0x04ef, mine : 0x0421:0x04ed, according to lsusb. ) Removing libmtp7.fdi is expensive in terms of software removed (it will take out banshee as well ;-) removing the above mentioned file does not make a difference. (At least, haven't tried rebooting yet..) Copying the entry for the N95, and fixing the key to the correct value doesn't seem to make a difference either.. Is there any quick way to get debugging info from libmtp ? TimT.

I'm wondering whether fdi is at all relevant here.
Both Timothy and myself have problems using an mp3 player that required a .is_audio_player to be detected by banshee, not a player that uses mtp protocol (where I think the fdi's come in; correct me if I'm wrong) For instance, I use an mp3 player that takes SD cards as media.. I transfer the music directly to the card Just tested with Rhythmbox; this detects both the N95 (in USB mass storage mode) and the SD card as an audio player (and sees the music on them, if the .is_audio_player file is present.) Decided to do some digging: I found references to is_audio_player only in MassStorageDap.cs Unfortunately, turns out that this file is patched by the packaging in ubuntu. Specifically, line 108 in this file is changed from if(player_device["portable_audio_player.access_method"] != "storage" && - !File.Exists(IsAudioPlayerPath)) { to if(!IsMassStorage (player_device) && !File.Exists(IsAudioPlayerPath)) { Unfortunately, taking out that part of the patch doesn't seem to help.. Ok, I don't know anything about C#, but I am enough of a programmer that I can do some debugging.. If somebody can point me to a tutorial on using a debugger with C#.. ;-) (Preferably using something like gdb.. ) TimT. 2008/5/6 Andrew Conkling <[hidden email]>: > On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 3:41 PM, Josiah Ritchie <[hidden email]> > wrote: > > > I'm wondering if something changed in the fdi structure in the Hardy > > upgrade that changed how Banshee saw it.

Please svn up to the very latest and try it. All your problems should be fixed.

Does latest svn support transfer to other devices ?
(Also, though much less relevant.. is there support for packaging latest svn as a debian package... ?) I'll give it a try tomorrow night.. I'll let you know how this turns out. TimT.
