Banshee doesn't update iPod

[Carlos Moffat]

Binary package hint: banshee

Hi,

I'm using Banshee 1.7.5 from the repositories, which is supposed to fix long-standing issues with ipod synchronization by switching to libgpod. I can't tell if it's using that, but at least my iPod nano 5G at least shows up in banshee now.

However, although the music that I added with gtkpod shows correctly in banshee, I can't add anything to the ipod. When I try to sync, 'banshee --disable-dbus --debug' shows:

TEST CASE:
1. Plug iPod in
2. Launch Banshee
3. Transfer some songs in
4. Eject iPod from within Banshee, or from the desktop
5. Disconnect the iPod.
6. Verify that the songs have been transferred in.

A small addendum: I see this problem both using the banshee unstable and daily PPAs (as of 9/15).

I am having the same problem Ipod Classic 80 GB Ubuntu 10.04 :

Let's add a cross reference to the bug in BGO: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629838.

[Alan (alan-mcgovern)]

Just to update this report aswell, this bug has been worked around in banshee and a patch has been created for libgpod-sharp to resolve the issue properly. Could you please test with the next daily/official release (or compile from git if that's your thing) and let me know if it doesn't work as expected. I'm on a 64bit system so it makes it a little harder to test these things.

[Ian Buchanan (ian-buchanan)]

I am getting the same error with both 4th and 5th gen ipod nanos. I get the same errors as Carlos in the --debug log

I don't have libgpod-sharp in any of my repos. I am in the PPA daily release, so I will report back after the next update.

Latest update - 20100917 does work either, same errors.

1.7.6+git20100917.r1.420860f-0ubuntu1+lucid (using .../banshee_1.7.6+git20100919.r1.f59d266-0ubuntu1+lucid_i386.deb) ...

BTW, has anyone mentioned that Banshee shows a "lock" icon on all ipod files and says that it is "protected"?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted banshee into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
