GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650351
Banshee doesnt update ipod's music database
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:27:25 UTC
This report was originally filled at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/781380 I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and each time i try to erase songs from my iPod, it starts and finishes without any problems. When i check my iPod, all the music is still there but the files are erased. I know that when i go to play a song, the player on my iPod crashes. I use an iPod touch 4G not jailbroken running iOS 4.3.2. This tells me that it erased the songs but didn't properly update the iPod's database. I ran it in terminal and got this when it was writing the database. [Warn 17:17:03.647] Failed to save iPod database - GLib.GException: Unsupported checksum type (in `libgpod-sharp') at GPod.ITDB.Write () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Banshee.Dap.AppleDevice.AppleDeviceSource.PerformSyncThreadCycle () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 libitdbprep: itdb_iphone_stop_sync called itdb_iphone_stop_sync: posted syncDidFinish
Got exactly the same [Warn] message using iPod 5G (video) when I try to add music files. The files are copied correct but the database update fails. So there is no chance to find the new titles on my iPod.
Same here with an iPod 5G (video). This post fixed it for me: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/ipod-nano-5th-generation-gtkpod-libgpod-problems-856668/ After resetting iPod using iTunes (might not be necessary): 1. sudo lsusb -v | grep -i Serial 2. copy/paste the 16 digit hexidecimal value to here: http://ihash.marcansoft.com/ 3. generate and save to /<ipod_root>/iPod_Control/Device/ 4. sync music/songs in Banshee. Banshee now writes the database and podcasts and music are playable.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
