[Banshee-List] New libMTP support Creative Zen 4gig

["Alan McGovern" <alan mcgovern gmail com>]

Hi,

This is the result of having an old version of libmtp. Currently the only way to get creative zen support is to have version 0.2.4 of libmtp as special fixes are needed for the new creative zen players. So if your distro does not have this, then you need to compile from source.

The only issue then is that the dll config file for mono maps requests calls to libmtp.dll to libmtp.so.6, but libmtp got a so version bump at 0.2.3. To make banshee use the newer libmtp you'd have to alter the 
libmtp-sharp.dll.config file to redirect to libmtp.so.7.

Aaron: The binding for the mtp stuff is API/ABI compatible with both libmtp.so.6 and libmtp.so.7. Are there any runtime tricks which can be used to load the .so.7 if it's available rather than .so.6?

Alan.
