Description of problem: My MTP device (an mp3 player) cannot be used in MTP mode by MTP-aware applications, notably Rhythmbox. The player is correctly recognized by the system; even lsusb list it as an MTP device. However, mtp-detect only works as root, whereas non-root users get an empty list. This probably explains why the player is not recognized by Rhythmbox: ordinary users don't have sufficient permissions to access the device. Obviously, I don't want to run applications like Rhythmbox as root! In case it matters, I am not using private groups for my users. Adding them to groups "audio" or "video" did not have any effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libmtp-1.0.1-2.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect an MTP device 2. Execute mtp-detect Actual results: Works as root only. Expected results: Every user should be allowed to access an MTP device. Additional info:
