Creative Labs Muvo T100 not detected as Digital Audio Player

[Steve Blamey]

Binary package hint: hal-info

The Muvo T100 is not recognised as a Digital Audio Player, but is mounted as a USB mass storage device. Therefore the T100 does not work as expected with Banshee and potentially other applications.

The vendor id for the Muvo T100 is 0x4159 and needs to be added to this HAL information file in the Creative Labs section.

/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-usb-music-players.fdi

I have tested this and it works on my Ubuntu 9.04 system

Here is my working .fdi entry

   <!-- MuVo T100 -->
   <match key="@storage.originating_device:usb.product_id" int="0x4159">

Same problem here. After adding your snippet to 10-usb-music-players.fdi the T100 is recognized as a MP3 player by the system. When plugged, the dialog box proposing to run rhythmbox appears.
Unfortunately once rhythmbox is launched, the T100 does not appear at all. Something must be missing for rythmbox to consider the T100 as a MP3 device.

I'm using a Sansa Fuze these days, but I added the above .fdi addition to my current Ubuntu 9.10 set up. It seems that the Muvo shows up in Banshee, but not Rythmbox.
