Maybe someone from fedora forum can help us point the correct section. Otherwise Mamarok did point out above that this potentially could be a "Solid" implementation error.

Well, for the moment, i reported it here : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258647

Maybe they will see what's going on ;) !

Need some help on this. I've been looking through Solid configuration, and here's what i found :

Code: Select all
$ solid-hardware query 'IS PortableMediaPlayer'
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_413e_61053C97CD697773_if0'

$ solid-hardware query "[ PortableMediaPlayer.supportedProtocols == 'mtp' AND PortableMediaPlayer.supportedDrivers == 'libmtp' ]"

$ solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_413e_61053C97CD697773
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_413e_61053C97CD697773'
  parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1d6b_2_0000_00_02_1'  (string)
  vendor = 'Creative Technology, Ltd'  (string)
  product = 'Creative Zen Vision:M'  (string)

$ solid-hardware details /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_413e_61053C97CD697773_ifo
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_41e_413e_61053C97CD697773_ifo'
  parent = ''  (string)
  vendor = ''  (string)
  product = ''  (string)


Are the results the same on a config that works (well, the equivalent for a sansa or other MTP device) ?

One more thing that could be useful from a "working mtp device"... If you can install media-player-info.

I have for my device :
Code: Select all
# udevadm info --query=all --path=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-6
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-6

(where the path is found by doing udevadm monitor and then plug the device)

Hey can you please point me to the resource where you found information on these solid-hardware commands ?

PS : Do you happen to have both gnome and KDE installed ? It's my case, and maybe there's a kind of conflict when trying to recognize the player.
I've noticed in my KDE configuration that the Creative Zen is nowhere to be find...


I do not have Gnome installed :( .
What kind of conflict do you suspect ?

This link : http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/sh ... p?p=471469

For gnome, it's good that you don't have it. now I'm sure it's not "his" fault...

I meant where did you find information about commands solid-hardware.

Also did you try the MTP device notification with KDE4 link you gave me ? I have a very different set of options when I add a new action.

would you want to collaborate with me on this issue ? we can get in touch on some IM

I'm sorry, it comes from the link he gave at the bottom of the post : http://www.bakooa.com/linux/configurati ... cteur-mtp/

Of course, it didn't work for me since the
solid-hardware query "[ PortableMediaPlayer.supportedProtocols == 'mtp' AND PortableMediaPlayer.supportedDrivers == 'libmtp' ]"
returns nothing to me when it "should" return the Creative Zen...

I'll answer your pm "tommorow" since it's 6am now, and i really need to sleep...

Hi again,

Now that amarok2.4 is released (and installed on my F14), i've redone the test with the creative zen vision : M (30Go) and now, i see the creative in the collections, and the transfer seems to go fine. But when I transfer songs, the status bar is stucked at 89% even if the transfer is completed (i checked by unmounting and listening to the file from the zen) :

Should I report this ?

Thanks.

I'm answering to myself, the bug seems to have been reported here :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238912 and does not affect only Creative player.
