Amarok 1.4.9 fails to read Ipod classic database

[Philip Walls]

Binary package hint: amarok

Upon upgrading to amarok=1.4.9-0ubuntu1 (Hardy), my iPod classic is still recognized, but silently fails to display my collection. I can work around the problem temporarily by downgrading to amarok=1.4.8-0ubuntu5. All other libgpod applications also continue to work (rhythmbox, exaile, gtkpod, hipo).

Steps to reproduce:
1) Attach IPOD, make sure it's mounted (/media/IPOD)
2) Open Amarok
3) Switch to "Devices" tab
4) Amarok detects device with all correct parameters (including version of device, "ipod classic silver")
5) Click "Connect"

Result:
Amarok silently does nothing, collection is not displayed

Expected result:
Amarok synchronizes collection from the iPod

Workaround:
Manually downgrade to older amarok package (1.4.8-0ubuntu5) including amarok-engines and amarok-xine (possibly unnecessary).

Confirmed!

Workaround confirmed as well.

Can you please try Amarok 1.4.9.1? It is very likely fixed with that version.

Thank you for your report.

According to the duplicate of this bug it is really fixed.
Marking as fix released.
