Hi all,

I'm trying to use my Android phone as media source in Amarok, when it is connected to my PC via USB. In the device notification area, it is listed as "Android UMS Composite". I also can browse folders using dolphin. The device is mounted as

Code: Select all

/dev/sdc on /media/35EE-1E0E type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0022,dmask=0077,codepage=cp437, \
  iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks)

I even started Amarok in debug mode and found the following passage:

Code: Select all

amarok:   BEGIN: virtual bool UmsConnectionAssistant::identify(const QString&)
amarok:     Device udi:  "/org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdc"
amarok:     Device name:  "Android - UMS Composite"
amarok:     BEGIN: const QString MediaDeviceCache::volumeMountPoint(const QString&) const
amarok:     END__: const QString MediaDeviceCache::volumeMountPoint(const QString&) const [Took: 0s]
amarok:     Mount point:  "/media/35EE-1E0E"
amarok:     vendor:  "Android" , product:  "UMS Composite"
amarok:     BEGIN: const QString MediaDeviceCache::volumeMountPoint(const QString&) const
amarok:     END__: const QString MediaDeviceCache::volumeMountPoint(const QString&) const [Took: 0s]
amarok:   END__: virtual bool UmsConnectionAssistant::identify(const QString&) [Took: 0s]


But in the end, Amarok doesn't show it as media source.

Any ideas?

version of Amarok?

Amarok's about dialog says:

Amarok
Version 2.4.0.90
Unter KDE 4.6.1 (4.6.1) "release 390"

My OS is openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64).

I just got a new Android phone, and while I'm running Amarok 2.4-GIT, this is my results of testing:

Mixed. While I can easily get Amarok to see my phone, it does take two steps: 1. on the phone, make sure that it is set to share, and 2. in Available Devices, open in Dolphin to make sure it is mounted.

Amarok sees it, and once you select the device and click the wrench, it even knows the model.

However, once I start copying some of my favorite tracks to Amarok, things break down. I got 12 of ~200 transferred, and no matter how many times I restarted the process, no more tracks were transferred. Sad!

Well, this is again the current problem with Media Devices in Amarok. For the time being you should use Dolphin to add tracks.

Should be fixed now. http://amarok.kde.org/en/releases/2.4.3

Amarok 2.4.3 comes with openSUSE 12.1 which I am using right now. My device is now shown in the collection view and I'm also able to copy music titles to the device using Amarok.

Well done
