Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] MPID - Can't find path

["lucas gary gmail com" <lucas gary gmail com>]

First off, should I reply to Christophe or the whole list + christophe?

The issues I'm experiencing:

• MPIDDevice isn't exposing anything usefull.  
• Looks like I'm barking up the wrong tree, I'll investigate it from a libgpod perspective...  

I've been trying to address the fixme in the ipod plugin code that determines what file formats

Line 1950:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/tree/plugins/ipod/rb-ipod-source.c

static GList *
impl_get_mime_types (RBRemovableMediaSource *source)
{
	GList *ret = NULL;

	/* FIXME: we should really query MPID for this */
	ret = g_list_prepend (ret, g_strdup ("audio/aac"));
	ret = g_list_prepend (ret, g_strdup ("audio/mpeg"));

	return ret;
}

It's basically a pet project to get more involved in OSS development...  And more specifically because the subject matter interests me.

Thank you,

Gary Lucas

The mpi stuff is for usb mass storage devices, it's not really useful for iPods.
The iPod plugin is using libgpod and is in plugins/ipod/, I'm not sure what you
are after exactly. iOS 4.1 should work, what issues are you having?
