Created attachment 174693 [details] [review] add MassStorageDevice definition for LG Ally Android phone This patch adds a MassStorageDevice for the LG Ally Android phone. This was tested on my (surprise) LG Ally phone. Without it I can't sync playlists and the like.
I may be wrong but wouldn't the best solution be to get this into media-player-info? http://ernstfamily.ch/jonathan/2010/10/help-me-make-your-music-player-or-phone-recognized-as-such-under-linux/
Thanks for letting me know about this bug report David. I have added the ID to usb.ids and pushed the infos in m-p-i. @Aran Cox 1) could you check if your device has other usb ids when (if available) a) set up in mass storage with usb debug mode enabled (or disabled if it was enabled before) (on my Android phone it's in settings->applications->development->USB debug b) set up in other USB modes (with name and corresponding usb id) 2) Do you know what playlist formats your device understands (e.g. audio/mpegurl;audio/x-mpegurl;audio/x-scpls) and if the playlists should be stored in a specific folder (e.g. Playlists/) 3) Did I get the formats right in my commit? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/media-player-info/commit/?id=e6be4669d0a088a788bf627b751f42d24d19b31b Thanks a lot for your help, this will not only help LG Ally Banshee users but most free-software using LG Ally users.

I'm marking this as fixed, as the patch is in Banshee's git and in media-player-info. Aran, it would still be nice if you could answer Jonathan's questions, either here or directly by e-mail.
1) I checked the usb id with debug disabled (it was previously enabled) and it's still: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1004:618f LG Electronics, Inc. 2) Banshee treats all android devices the same (I think.) It creates .m3u files in Music/Playlists/list.m3u with relative paths like: ../Someband/Somealbum/Sometrack.mp3 I don't know if my phone supports other formats of playlists or not but what banshee does works! 3) The format list looks good to me. My phone will play flac files as well but I wouldn't want flac listed as a supported format or banshee won't transcode them.

Sorry, the USB ID was different for non-debug mode so I attached a patch to add that.
