Description Chris Shucksmith 2006-03-26 23:01:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
Amarok versions 1.4.x use a plug in structure for Media Devices. Plugins are to
be found at /usr/lib/kde3. Here I would expect libamarok_ipod-mediadevice.so
providing support for iPod devices but the file is missing.

How reproducible:
Tried with amarok-1.4-0.9.beta2.fc5

Actual Results:
1 The plugin file is missing
# rpm -q amarok
amarok-1.4-0.9.beta2.fc5
# ls -la /usr/lib/kde3 | grep libamarok | grep mediadevice.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   54228 Mar 21 23:26 libamarok_ifp-mediadevice.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   82108 Mar 21 23:26 libamarok_vfat-mediadevice.so
2. Amarok lists only iRiver and VFAT Media device types in the dialog shown when
inserting a USB iPod
  
Expected results:
1. Something like:
# rpm -q amarok
amarok-1.4-0.9.beta2.fc5
# ls -la /usr/lib/kde3 | grep libamarok | grep mediadevice.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   54228 Mar 21 23:26 libamarok_ifp-mediadevice.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   82108 Mar 21 23:26 libamarok_vfat-mediadevice.so
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   82108 Mar 21 23:26 libamarok_ipod-mediadevice.so
2. Amarok lists iRiver, iPod and VFAT Media device types in the dialog shown
when inserting a USB iPod
  
Additional info:
The configure script checks for required files before building this plugin. from
the amarok wiki http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/Media_Devices#Apple_iPod

Some features, e.g. artwork support, depend on all the following being present
(including the respective -dev/-devel packages) at libgpod compile time:

    * gdkpixbuf: image reading
    * libgobject-2.0: interfacing with hal
    * hal/dbus: recognition of iPod model 

I will try and build from source to see what the requirements are. Was iPod
support disabled intentionally?
