I appear to be using 0.99.0cvs of gtkpod and libgpod.so.0.401.0. Have other people been able to buy stuff with itunes, sync with itunes, then add a playlist (either video or music) with gtkpod (on a linux box)? I suppose I should mention that the ipod is win formatted, but I'm running itunes on my mac and gtkpod on linux.

>>I appear to be using 0.99.0cvs of gtkpod and libgpod.so.0.401.0. >The most recent released version of gtkpod is 0.99.8 (newer than the >cvs version you've got there). Actually, I'm running 0.99.9cvs. I just fatfingered the label. However, libgpod was old, so I pulled the lasted of both out of cvs, compiled and installed them. Connected up the ipod, added a single mp3 and saved it, hoping this would fix the playlists. It did not. Reconnected the ipod, added a new playlist with some new videos, saved again and disconnected the ipod. Still nothing. Let me be clear: When I connect the ipod, every playlist I've added since my first message on april 29th with gtkpod(both music and video) show up in the gtkpod interface (with both the old libgpod and the new one). However, the ipod by itself shows no video playlists, and 3 music playlists: "90's music"," ", and "On-the-go". Yes, the middle playlist between 90's and on-the-go has no visible characters in it. The 90's music playlist actually has songs in it (I assume the correct ones, but I think that was auto-created by itunes, so i have no idea). The 'no-name' playlist has nothing in it, and on-the-go does what you'd expect (speaking of which, is there anyway to get gtkpod not to blow away the OTG list everytime it saves? I suppose the answer is somewhere in the mailing list). I haven't connected my ipod to itunes since my first message on 4/29, because that machine is a little messed up, so I have no idea if doing that would fix the playlists. Soooo.... any idea how to fix it?

The video playlist is only halfway supported by gtkpod. Basically what you do is edit the media type to Video in "Edit Details". This is done automatically when adding video files, however, and the iPod should put those files under Video, even if gtkpod doesn't. Next, your iTunesDB seems to be messed up somewhat. If you don't care about your playcounts and have MP3 tags set properly you can do the following: mv <ipod_mountpoint>/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB /tmp gtkpod load the iPod and confirm everything (Set up the directory structure... never mind it's a stupid dialog :-/) File->Check iPod's Files -- wait until the process is finished Eject iPod. That will create a vanilla iTunesDB with your existing tracks and without playlists (except the "orphaned" one which you can remove but keep the tracks). Alternatively you could remove all playlists (keep tracks) that gtkpod shows. Maybe it works, maybe not. It would keep the playcounts. Cheers, JCS. |

Also, libgpod.so.0.401.0 would be from a libgpod release older than the current 0.4.2 (which provides libgpod.so.1.0.0). I think it's worth updating to the current versions to see if they work better. (Do note that gtkpod 0.99.8 needs a small patch to compile against libgpod 0.4.2. You can get that patch on the download page as a separate file or in the tarball gtkpod-0.99.8-for-libgpod-0.4.2.) --=20 Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D It's reassuring to know that if you behave strangely enough, society will take full responsibility for you. |
