Unable to use Sony nws-w-series walkman

[Owais Lone]

Binary package hint: banshee

My Sony walkman (nws-w-series) is not detected by Banshee.. I use banshee as my media management app but have to use rhythmbox to sync my walkman. Please fix this.

Which version of banshee do you use?

[Owais Lone (loneowais)]

1.9.6

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Owais, Please could you run in a terminal "banshee --debug" and attach all the output information as a separated file (while you are trying to reproduce this issue)? Also could you attach your "~/.config/banshee-1/log" as a separated file, Thank you.

by the way, if you are working under Ubuntu Natty there is a new release available (2.0.0-2ubuntu1)

[Owais Lone (loneowais)]

I'm using 2.0.0-2ubuntu1

Please find the requested files as attachments.

The device was plugged in when banshee started. I plugged it out and backin before playing the track.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Owais, Have you enabled MTP Media Player and Mass Storage Media Player support extensions in banshee right?

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

I have sent this issue to upstream tracker so you can track and follow status of this problem at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648326

[Owais Lone (loneowais)]

Yes, MTP extension is enabled however, mtptools and mtpfs packages were not installed. I installed them but cannot test until I get home.

Can you please go through this and help us determine if the problem is gvfs-gphoto, libmtp or Banshee itself that is causing the issue:
