[Gtkpod-devel] old iPod support

[Ville L. <vil...@gm...>]

Hello,

I couldn't find where to sign up for this mailing list, so if you could 
CC any answers to me it would be nice.

Basically, I noticed that Amarok crashed violently whenever I connected 
my very old (first generation) 5Gb iPod. Gdb told me that it was 
g_strdup() in sysinfo_arr_get_dup() that caused the problem. After 
sifting through the source a bit I concluded that the function is 
basically trying to find a field name that doesn't exist in my iPod's 
Sysinfo file. (actually, none of the ones listed in sysinfo_field_names 
exist.) I've sent my Sysinfo file as an attachment so you can see for 
yourselves. Like I said, it's a very old iPod and it probably hasn't 
seen any updates for quite a while, so maybe it has a different Sysinfo 
format than the newer ones? Or maybe mine is just corrupt, I don't know 
:) I'll try formatting it with the newest updates and everything and see 
if the problems go away, but I guess it would still be good to change 
sysinfo_arr_get_dup so that it doesn't blindly strdup NULL pointers ;) 
Just in case someone else has an old iPod like me :)
