clementine without libgpod support

[p2501]

Hello,

when I connect my IPOD Nano 4th Gen., it shows up in the devices list, but when I double click it, a dialog appears, which says
"This is an iPod, but you compiled Clementine without libgpod support. If you continue, this device will work slowly and songs copied to it may not work."

However the package description mentions IPOD support:
" - Copy music to your iPod, iPhone, MTP or mass-storage USB player."

Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10

clementine:
  Installed: 1.1.1+dfsg-2ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I guess it is not compiled by default with libgpod support?

Hi,

ok, I found the reason. libgpod support has been dropped by applying the patch drop-imobiledevice-support.patch. This has been submitted to upstream in order to fix upstream issue 3683 and has been backported into the current Saucy package.

However, when I just compare the patch with the original commit for upstream, at least CMakeLists.txt has less changes in the original patch than the one included into the Saucy package. It looks like, that the original patch does not drop libgpod support at all (while the revision command just states that).

I tried the Raring package for clementine 1.2.0 on my Saucy installation and it connects with my IPod.

Confirming this bug still present. Please assign to package maintainer.

Updated by adding ppa as described at http://www.clementine-player.org/downloads . Now causes Clementine to crash when attempting to open ipod. No crash log generated.

Is a fix for this scheduled? I am encountering the same problem using LUbuntu 13.10 with an ipod nano 7g.

I just encountered this on Linux Mint 16.
