The whole thing is request driven - one put of a single find could be meant as a single put but also be a part of a "put a whole bunch of files" action. There's just no way of figuring that out.

If there was an always running app core and a kio slave just talking to it there would be a chance of having some continous flush of the in mem database and a final sync when disconnecting. But that's a lot of work and I definitely need help on that side. - Jul 28 2008

Sorry, but I don't have access to a SuSE10 machine - all I can provide is SuSE packages for 9.3 and 10.1, i586 and X64 - Jul 10 2006

I just have no idea if it'll work since I don't have a 3.3.2 installation here. Just try it out.
If I remember correctly konqueror crashed in 3.3 because of the extra fields showing track metadata like album, artist etc. Maybe you can get it working by removing the extra field names in the ipodslave.protocol file but that's just a guess.

Hi,

the iPod Shuffle is not supported yet, although I'm working on it for the 0.7 line.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I changed the ipod detection mechanism so I hope this problem is fixed with the 0.6.3 release. Please tell me if the problem still exists.

Regards

Well, this is a feature planned but I like to do a lot of cleanup/code reorganization so it'll take some time before I'll add new features. Possibly this will result in a new directory structure - something like this:
ipod:/<ipod-name_and_mountpoint>/...

Thanks.

The problem with displaying meta information in konquerors list view is that konqueror segfaults when reading a protocol configuration file containing extra field definitions. The code is already in ipodslave but I needed to comment it out until this error gets fixed (reported it a long time ago but the report didn't even get noticed yet) :( - Sep 18 2004

what does your /etc/mtab and your /proc/mounts look like?

The mounted ipod needs to show up in /etc/mtab (should always be the case)

hmm, interesting.

what exactly did you have to include?

Hope the -1 release fixes your problem.

it seems the linker doesn't include some needed libs to the link process (I assume it's libstdc++)

check that your development tools (gcc, libtool etc) are up to date.

hope that helps

what's the exact error message?
You can find it in config.log

Well, it seems that the build process can't handle pathes with a whitespace in it.
The fastest way to get around this would be to rename your "iPod Slave" directory to "iPod_Slave" or something like that whithout a whitespace.

hope that helps

well, in that case I'd make sure "/usr/lib" is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf and check that the file libid3.so points to really exists (IIRC in your case that would be libid3-3.8.so.3.0.0)

You'll also need the id3lib headers.

If all that is the case I don't understand why it doesn't work.

hope that helps

what arch type do you have?

maybe it looks in the wrong path - for example if you have an AMD64 and you configured with enable-libsuffix=64 it expects libid3.so to be installed in /usr/lib64

... thanks :)

If you're interested in joining the project have a look at the project page at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kpod

A college at work gave me his iTunesDB file so I was able to test ipodslave with some data other than mine.

It showed me a problem with empty Artist/Album tags - these will not be shown in the listings. I'll fix this in the next release

Cool, thanks. Just give me a lttle bit of time to figure out what of these things can be done in the KDE framework and what needs to be done with hotplug scripts.

thanks again

not at the moment, sorry. But I'll create a project on sourceforge - if I remember correctly SF has these features.

If you want to buy an ipod mini you should wait a while accoring to this story over on slashdot:
http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/04/04/11/1835219.shtml?tid=137&tid=141&tid=176&tid=188

Anyways, thanks but I suppose the project still needs a lot of work to be really usable. If you would buy your iPod tomorrow I would recommend gtkpod (http://gtkpod.sourceforge.net/) instead :) - Apr 12 2004

Thanks:)

Part of the project is the library libitunesdb which will provide read/write access to the itunesDB file format used by itunes/ipod (at the moment read only but it's just a matter of time). Applications could use this lib to handle itunesDB files - imagine juk being able to transfer songs to/from the ipod

Well, first of all I need to get it done and stable ;)

One with a Neuros (I don't have one) and the knowledge about how the music is organized on it (?) should be able to write a replacement for the ipod specific part of this project.

I'm _very_ interested in this kinda stuff but AFAIK the future of HAL and DBUS in KDE is not so clear.
My first idea is to have a shellscript in /etc/hotplug that mounts the ipod and fires up a dcop call ... somehow ;)
But admittedly: not very elegant compared to the possibilities HAL/DBUS would make possible.

Thanks!

There's a lot of work to do :) On top of my head there is the itunesdb lib which needs write support - there are class bodies for this waiting to be filled with code. But that's the fun part: _I_ wanna do this ;))
Also I still have the feeling that the IOslave works just barely so this needs some work too.
I'll setup a sourceforge project in a couple of days and will update the page
here.

have fun.
