Bug Description

Binary package hint: banshee

On Ubuntu 10.10 beta, when I plug in my N900 I get the media player prompt and choose to open banshee. When it opens there is no source entry for the phone.

When launching banshee from the command line this is the output:

2. Insert a mass storage media player
3. Verify that Banshee detects it and shows a source for it in the left sidebar.

I can confirm that this problem is fixed in the banshee-2.8.0 package on Lucid in the banshee team PPA. I will test again if/when this version hits the Maverick archive.

banshee.log Edit (7.7 KiB, text/plain)

This bug is unfortunately not fixed for me with banshee 1.8.0 from the team PPA on Lucid. Nothing shows up in Banshee upon inserting my iPod running Rockbox. I've enabled both mass media and MTP support. I've added an .is_audio_player file in the root of the device, and the iPod is found properly in Rhythmbox. The iPod is a 2nd gen (i.e., one of the very old ones) running the latest Rockbox available for the device. I'm not sure what could be going on to cause it not to appear in Banshee, given that it shows up on Rhythmbox. I've attached the debug output, but I'm not sure how useful it will be given that nothing appears in the output when the iPod is inserted.
