[Banshee-List] iPod setup update

["Russ Brown" <pickscrape gmail com>]

Hello all,

Thanks to all who have helped in my efforts to get my iPod working with  
banshee. I'm almost there.

After some extensive experiemntation with re-installing different versions  
of various packages, I have finally got to a state where the iPod is  
detected by the ipod library, and ivman automatically mounts the ipod at  
/media/ipod.

For the record, the relevant versions I used to get this working are:

hal: 0.5.5.1
dbus: 0.50-r1
pmount :0.9.6
ivman: 0.6.6
udev: 077-r3
ipod-sharp: 0.5.12
libipoddevice: 0.4.0

So, good progress. The only problem I have left now is the mono process  
(ipod-sharp or banshee) going mental when the iPod is plugged in. The mono  
process uses up all available RAM and swap, and system load rockets.

Now, I *think* I remember once being warned in Windows that there is  
something wrong with the database on my iPod, but iTunes has always worked  
fine so I've not worried about it. Could it be that corruption in the  
files on the iPod may cause the banshee code to act weirdly and get into  
an infinite loop and/or memory leak?

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug this.

Thanks!
