Re: [Gtkpod-devel] Problems with python wrapper to libgpod - probably newbie

[andrew c. <an...@ac...>]

Adding

  itdb_device_set_sysinfo(db._itdb.device, "ModelNumStr", "C297")

just after db = ... doesn't seem to change anything.

The database is showing 2 playlists (when empty).  Is that OK?

  <Database Filename:'/media/an...@ac...
ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' Playlists:2 Tracks:0>
