Today the artwork freezing problem was addressed in the CVS version of libgpod, so I had updated to get this to work in amarok, although after trying to compile amarok from scratch I get

Code: Select all

mediadevice.lo ipodmediadevice.cpp; \
        then mv -f ".deps/ipodmediadevice.Tpo" ".deps/ipodmediadevice.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/ipodmediadevice.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

After which I downloaded the svn and proceeded and came up with the exact problem.

Here is the line 305-326 from ipodmediadevice.cpp and the first line that mentions unk208

Code: Select all

track->unk208 = 0x01; // for audio
    if(type=="wav")
    {
        track->filetype = g_strdup( "wav" );
    }
    else if(type=="mp3" || type=="mpeg")
    {
        track->filetype = g_strdup( "mpeg" );
    }
    else if(type=="aac" || type=="m4a" || (!m_supportsVideo && type=="mp4"))
    {
        track->filetype = g_strdup( "mp4" );
    }
    else if(type=="m4b")
    {
        track->filetype = g_strdup( "mp4" );
#ifdef HAVE_ITDB_SKIP_SHUFFLE_FLAG
        track->remember_playback_position |= 0x01; // remember current position in track
#else
        track->flag3 |= 0x01; // remember current position in track
#endif
        track->unk208 = 0x08; // for audiobooks


Then one reference to line 387

Code: Select all

track->unk208 = track->unk208==0x02 ? 0x06 : 0x04;

Any suggestions or help are welcomed.

Alright turns out in the most recent CVS in libgpod they changed unk206 to mediatype and I apparently didn't read the changelog right.  So replacing all instances of unk208 with mediatype then recompile worked magic and now artwork is perfect after reuploading all music since there is no fix yet.  A dev might want this fixed in svn.
