Meizu M6 MiniPlayer not recognized as portable audio player

[Michael Große]

Binary package hint: hal

Hi,

I own a Meizu M6 MiniPlayer Digital Audio Player, which when inserted into the usb slot, gets recognized as a generic USB Flash Disk, instead as a Media Player. The vendor id is Samsung instead of Meizu.

Thanks for the fdi data

Hardy has 20071212-1ubuntu1, I guess that should have the fix included?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Right, that's in current Hardy.

My Meizu M6 started working good with Hardy. So this bug can be closed.
