Exaile and Ipod.

semperfiguy · 2008-10-13 18:17:08

I am trying to figure out how to mount an ipod in exaile. I am using hal, and have a line in my fstab so the ipod is always mounted at /media/ipod. When it is plugged in, I have to click on the ipod icon in thunar in order for it to be mounted. Then I open up exaile and go to the devices tab. I select the ipod device driver and click the connect icon. In the terminal from which exaile is running from I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 486, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 446, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
  File "/home/semperfiguy/.exaile/plugins/ipoddriver.py", line 433, in connect
    loc = self.mount + track.ipod_path.replace(":", "/")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

What does this mean and how can I get my ipod mounted in exaile?

Ok.... have you got ipod plugin configured correctly ? I just tried mine and once mount point is set its loads fine

The ipod plugin is set to point to /media/ipod. Which is where my ipod is mounted. So it gets mounted fine, just exaile can't get to it. It displays connecting.. down at the bottom there and never connects. It also gives me that error in the terminal.

Mr Green · 2008-10-13 21:26:27

what version are you using ? [Exaile] and are your plugins up to date?

semperfiguy · 2008-10-13 21:31:41

Exaile .2.14 and ipod device driver .4.6 I just installed Exaile and the plugins last night so I assume their up to date. Do you use hal to automount or do you manually mount it everytime? What is the process you usually use to get it connected to exaile?

Also, after I attempt to connect via exaile. I cannot unmount with thunar. It complains the device may be mounted multiple times.

I use hal but I do not manually mount it, in exaile I go to devices and drop down box I select ipod then click the connect button to the right

What DE/window manager you using?

semperfiguy · 2008-10-14 15:21:30

I am using openbox. When I plug in my ipod under hal, and then open exaile, select the dropdown boox and click connect button it gives me this error

Error connecting to iPod. Make sure you specify the right mount point in the plugin configuration.

I also have this line in my fstab to always mount my ipod at /media/ipod (where exaile is pointing to)

/dev/disk/by-uuid/FFEB-6EC9 /media/ipod vfat users,exec,noauto 0 0

Mr Green · 2008-10-14 16:15:51

what is the mount point in your plugin?

semperfiguy · 2008-10-14 17:47:42

The mount point is /media/ipod

Mr Green · 2008-10-14 18:03:50

well .... it should load .... I do not use a line in fstab try hashing it out let hal load it for you see if that works

semperfiguy · 2008-10-14 20:40:31

I hashed it out. Then it does not automount. I have to doubleclickt the icon in thunar. It then mounts as /media/ANANO (The name of my ipod). I change the mount point in exaile and it complains that it can't find the mount point.

Mr Green · 2008-10-15 06:16:04

ok.... my ipod is automounted [named IPOD!] hal if running should take care of that and I just added mount point to plugin and it just works

My Iopd Video loads fine in gtkpod exaile etc....

semperfiguy · 2008-10-15 17:46:07

So your ipod is mounted to /media/IPOD! and you just set exaile to point there?

Mr Green · 2008-10-15 18:31:21

yup! Vista [Grrrrr!!!!] named my pod so thats what [and where!] it mounts

semperfiguy · 2008-10-16 02:33:28

What do you use for a file manager? because when I open it in thunar, it doesn't become mounted until I double click the icon in the side bar. Before I do that, there is just some empty folders in /media. Once I click that icon there becomes a /media/ANANO. Does that mean hal isn't working correctly?

Mr Green · 2008-10-16 05:37:53

I use nautilus in Gnome.....

I have a nano video, and I was having trouble with it before, so I read to modify this file: /mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/Device/SysInfo. Adding

ModelNumStr: xA978
FirewireGuid: 0x000A27001AEE94CD

to that file on my ipod. Will removing this change anything?
I think that it isn't being mounted properly via hal. If I plug it in and go via CLI to the directory its supposed to be mounted at, nothing shows there. It only mounts after I click the icon in thunar, which shouldn't be necessary, correct?

Edit: I just tried rhythmbox. I can access the ipod, but again only after I mount it by clicking the icon in thunar. Was there any configuring you had to do with hal in order for it to automount? as of right now the only thing that happens when I plug it in is in icon appears in the side pane of thunar. thats it, no folder in /media or anything.
