Okay, here's the scoop.  I've been trying to get this working for two days now and can't seem to get it to work.
I've followed the tutorial at:
http://thecrosstalk.blogspot.com/2007/01/amarok-music-manager.html

step by step and Amarok will neither autodetect my player, nor connect to it when I set the device up manually using the MTP device plugin option.

I'm about to the point where I think it's an issue with libmtp.  Now, for some specs.

First - System Info (Running Kubuntu Edgy):

Code: Select all

Linux grendel 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Thu Feb 1 19:52:28 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Second - Output of mtp-detect:

Code: Select all

Found non-autodetected device "Creative Zen Vision:M (DVP-HD0004)" on USB bus...
usb_claim_interface(): Operation not permitted
Connection error.
No devices.

Third - Output of Amarok's auto-detect feature:

Code: Select all

No new media devices were found. If you feel this is an error, ensure that the DBUS and HAL daemons are running and KDE was built with support for them. You can test this by running "dcop kded mediamanager fullList" in a Konsole window.

I've been wrestling with this for the last two days, trying to get either Gnomad2 or Amarok to see this player so I can put files onto it.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

I know that there are other similar questions on this forum, and I've tried the various fixes (found a file through google for the libmtp.rules file for udev and even tried that...no soap), I'm running out of steam here and I hope that the amarok community can help me.

What version of amaroK and udev are you running? Also, what udev rules have you got set?

Amarok - 1.4.5

Udev - I don't see a way to get versioning information for udev, it's whatever comes stock on 2.6.17-11-generic kernel for kubuntu

I've tried that rules file with mode="666" as well as mode="777" on the devices.  I don't remember where I found the libmtp.rules file at.

I take it no one has any ideas?  I'm hoping that not all hope is lost on this...would like to be able to use this with linux/amarok.
