Re: [Banshee-List] Found potential problem (Was: ipod doesn't show in banshee)

[Christopher Friedt <cfriedt visible-assets com>]

After inserting some debug statements in IpodDap.cs, I found that a
couple of comparisons don't work, causing a return of
"InitializeResult.Invalid"

error: !hal_device.GetPropertyBoolean("block.is_volume")
error: hal_device.Parent["portable_audio_player.type"] != "ipod"

Maybe the problem lies with the Hal-Sharp code?

I'll try and do the same there.

I'm using the latest versions of the software on Gentoo with the
following versions / flags:

hal-0.5.7.1-r1            acpi crypt dmi pcmcia
banshee-0.11.2            aac daap debug encode flac ipod mad njb vorbis
ipod-sharp-0.6.2
libipoddevice-0.5.1
libgtop-2.14.4 X          gdbm
libgdiplus-1.2            gif jpeg tiff
mono-1.2                  X nptl
avahi-0.6.15              dbus gdbm gtk mono python

Let me know if any other packages are relevent
