Description Jacob Masaki 2009-12-27 08:15:15 UTC
Description of problem:
Even with SELinux disabled (there is a whole bug on this issue) I cannot get my iPod detected by podsleuth as an iPod.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.6.5

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in the iPod.  
2. Wait for it to mount.  
  
Actual results:
Not detected as a media player (though it gets the little icon).  

Expected results:
Detected as a media player so I can put my music on it.  

Additional info:
I believe my iPod was working with Fedora 11, I'll have to check once I have access to my machine I have yet to upgrade.  

Also, it is detected as an iPod on both Windows and OSX.

Most likely this is a duplicate of #495240.

Please can you try out the updated podsleuth package which is currently in updates-testing? This is a snapshot of upstream's git repository with the recently added devkit support:

banshee-1.5.3-0.1.20091216git.fc12, podsleuth-0.6.6-0.1.20091216git.fc12 has
been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository.  If problems still persist,
please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update banshee podsleuth'.  You can

This looks like it fixes my problems.  

Though, it required a "podsleuth --rescan" before it would identify my iPod as a nano, versus an unknown.  I can try rebooting and seeing if I need to do a rescan every time if you'd like.  

Thanks for pointing me to the update.

Ok, good. I'm setting this bug now as a dupe of the other one.

Since the detection logic only runs when hal (or now udev / devicekit) has detected a newly attached device, this behaviour is expected. Without doing a full "scan" it only reports a generic iPod.

After unpluging and re-pluging the iPod (or doing a reboot), it will be immediately fully detected.
