GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 728744
media player (Nokia N900) not detected Edit
Last modified: 2014-04-23 07:02:55 UTC
Created attachment 274901 [details] udev.txt To reproduce: - Launch Rhythmbox - Plug in a Nokia N900 and select mass storage mode. Expected: - Rhythmbox detects the N900 as a media player (USB mass storage), lists it under "Devices", and allows the user to manage the music on it. Actual: - Rhythmbox does not respond at all to the presense of the N900. This bug is a regression: it used to work in previous versions, and it also works in the rhythmbox shipped in Debian 7 (wheezy). Some interesting-looking output from 'rhythmbox --debug': > device /dev/sdb has no ID_MEDIA_PLAYER tag in udev > /media/gnoutchd/Nokia N900 is already a mount point > override file /media/gnoutchd/Nokia N900/.is_audio_player not found on mount /media/gnoutchd/Nokia N900 The attached 'n900-udev.txt' contains an extract of the output of 'udevadm info --export-db'. Note that ID_MEDIA_PLAYER is set on '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3', but it is not set on the entry that corresponds to the actual /dev/sdb device ('/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/host19/target19:0:0/19:0:0:0/block/sdb'). This is a change from Debian wheezy, where ID_MEDIA_PLAYER is set on both.
Yes, if ID_MEDIA_PLAYER isn't on the right device, rhythmbox can't see it. Probably needs to be fixed in media-player-info.
Thanks, filed a report in media-player-info: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77795
