Samsung YP-T7 not recognized as music player

[glass.dimly]

Binary package hint: hal

This is a patch to add the Samsung YP-T7 as a music player to hal. I am using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1.

I've got HAL 0.5.11~rc2-1ub

The device is recognized properly now.

I'm not sure if I should open a new bug report, but the same thing applies to the (quite new) Samsung YP-S3, when used with the UMS firmware (for more details on how to use this device with Ubuntu, see: *)

In order to correct the problem, I've looked at the patch provided by the initial reporter and at other similar ones and I've tried, with success, to add the following lines in Samsung section of the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi :

          <!-- Samsung YP-S3 -->
          <match key="@storage.originating_device:usb.product_id" int="0x5090">
            <addset key="portable_audio_player.access_method.protocols" type="strlist">storage</addset>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-ms-wma</append>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">application/ogg</append>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-wav</append>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.input_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-wav</append>
     <append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders" type="strlist">Music/</append>
     <append key="portable_audio_player.playlist_format" type="strlist">audio/x-mpegurl</append>
     <append key="portable_audio_player.playlist_format" type="strlist">audio/x-scpls</append>
     <append key="portable_audio_player.playlist_path" type="strlist">Playlists/</append>
          </match>

Thanks.

Oops! Forgot to include the link for other useful info on how to have the S3 play nice with Ubuntu. Here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=877862

I have tested al Samsung S3 (YP-53) on latest ubuntu but it did not work. Not on my computer. If anybody would need some hard data to patch I can go back and try to extract that info.

[aleks3000 (alex-stahmann)]

I tried the S3 with the UMS firmware on ubuntu 10.04 only ather manually adding the lines mentioned by mlaverdiere i got it to be detected properly. Will it be possible to include the lines mentioned in a future release ?
