Hal fdi update for Sony Ericsson W890i

[skamithi]

Binary package hint: hal-info

I just bought a new cell phone. It's a W890i, manufactured by Sony Ericsson. It features a Walkman MP3 player.

I updated the hal fdi file 10-usb-music-players.fdi in order to get it recognized as a portable audio player. See attached patch.

I run Ubuntu 8.10

Can this be done for W800 too? Ubuntu recognizes it as a broadband device, but not a music player.

Let me know what can I do to provide the necessary info for the phone

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Vadim,

yes, it can be done. Please look at /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi and the existing entries, find one that best describes your device (I guess the patch which is attached here is a good starting point), or create a new one if none of the existing profiles (supported formats, directories, etc.) matches the W800.

Please also do

  lshal > /tmp/hal.txt

and attach /tmp/hal.txt to the new bug.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Here is the current entry for it:

      <!-- W800 Walkman Phone -->
      <!-- media files go in mp3/$ARTIST/$ALBUM/$TRACKNAME -->
      <match key="@storage.originating_device:usb.product_id" int="0xd028">
        <addset key="portable_audio_player.access_method.protocols"
type="strlist">storage</addset>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats"
type="strlist">audio/aac</append>
        <append key="portable_audio_player.input_formats"
type="strlist">audio/x-wav</append>
        <append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders"
type="strlist">MP3/</append>
        <append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders"
type="strlist">MSSEMC/Media files/audio/</append>
      </match>

I'm not quite sure how to interpret it, but Wikipedia says (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W800) it is "The phone is also MP3 and AAC
compatible". The article at the bottom also pointed to this page:
http://stefans.datenbruch.de/k750i/

Anyway, the hal.txt is attached.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Indeed, current hal-info already knows the W800.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

But it does not treat it as such (doesn't mount it or the sd card reader
inside it), or pop up the box to open rhythmbox

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Vadim:

 info.capabilities = {'storage', 'block', 'portable_audio_player', 'access_control'} (string list)

This looks fine to me. If it doesn't actually work for you, please open a new bug report and do the steps on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices . Thank you!

[Dimitri (dvanlanduyt)]

Seemed stupid to open a new bug report; for Sony-Ericsson W302, I added the following to abovementioned 10-usb-music-players.fdi to make it work:

   <!-- W302i -->
   <match key="@storage.originating_device:usb.product_id" int_outof="0xe0c8">
     <addset key="portable_audio_player.access_method.protocols" type="strlist">storage</addset>
     <append key="portable_audio_player.input_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-wav</append>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/aac</append>
            <append key="portable_audio_player.output_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-wav</append>
     <append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders" type="strlist">Music/</append>
   </match>

Please add it to the default file. Thanks.

Dimitri, thanks. Committed upstream.
