Version: 1.3.1 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.4-21.9-default I have found a file that for some reason will not transfer to my iPod. I can't see why so I thought I would report a bug. Here's the information on the file: -rwxr-xr-x 1 elliott users 5773440 2005-09-10 23:39 /media/usbdisk/Media/music/dr. dre - the cronic/05 - nuthin but a g thang.mp3 MP3 file with ID3 version 2.4.0 tag the track, title, artist and album tags are all filed in.
Oh, and if I choose "Add to media device transfer queue" when the ipod is not connected, click transfer, then connect the ipod, then disconnect the ipod it asks me if i want to transfer that file, i click transfer and it says it's transferring, there's a progress bar and everything, but the file doesn't turn up. i don't know if that helps in any way what so ever, but there it is.
So other files transfer just fine? If they do, mind sending me the file so I can confirm.
in reply to [comment 1]: The bug that you reported has been identified and has been fixed in the latest development (SVN) version of KDE.
I tried the file you sent me, but I have no trouble uploading to my iPod. Maybe you can provide me with some console output or any other information that may be useful.
I restarted my laptop and tried this again and this time that file transferred just fine. The thing is that this happens with a lot of files. That was just one that I could get amarok to fail on repeatedly. What information can I provide that would be helpful in tracking down this problem?
I had the same problem where it would time out on different files. Turned out there were timeouts with the device, changing the USB port I used seemed to fix it, kinda odd. Maybe check your dmesg for timeouts, and any kind of backtrace or console out should help to.
Moving.
very probably fixed in svn. if not, then please report again.
This is just happening to me now. I'm on Amarok 1.4.7, kde 3.5.7, gentoo linux on GCC 4.1.1-r3 I have some .mp3 files i recorded myself, so without any title, album name nor other id3 tag infos. Amarok reported the size of the transfer queue was 0 bytes. When starting the transfer, it just say that the file is already on the device. I solved it WRITING id3 tag infos on the file, via Amarok itself. Once done that, everything worked again. I have no idea of the internals of Amarok, but maybe it adds tracks based on the album/artist, so if there are no informations, for some bug I suppose, it does not add it to the device, thus reporting a transfer size of 0 bytes and not transferring the file.
