Description rosenp 2015-09-05 18:20:44 UTC
I don't use the iPod plugin since it's totally broken on iOS >= 4. However I do have an app installed on my iPhone called PwnTunes that allows users to dump music to the "My Music" folder on the device. I have a .is_audio_player file at the root of the directory but it does nothing.

As a workaround, I currently sync my music to a .img file(loop device) and then manually copy everything to the device.

Actually with PwnTunes, if the device is mounted as a Camera(gphoto2), music could also be potentially synced but I can't add a .is_audio_player file in that situation.

have you disabled the ipod plugin?
Comment 2 rosenp 2015-09-06 02:02:49 UTC
Yes. The iPod is mounted using gvfs-afc.
Comment 3 Jonathan Matthew 2015-09-06 02:08:03 UTC
oh, ok.  since I have no way of working on this and it's a pretty niche thing to start with, I'm not going to work on it, but I'd consider patches.
