Description Brian 2009-01-13 04:01:22 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Compiler:          cmake version 2.6-patch 2, GCC 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

I plug my iPod into my computer, then run "pmount /dev/sdb1". The Amarok GUI and tray icon will freeze for ~5 seconds (music continues playing). The GUI will then unfreeze and function like normal.
Comment 1 Seb Ruiz 2009-01-13 04:04:16 UTC
Mounting the ipod should be threaded.
Comment 2 Brian 2009-01-13 04:21:16 UTC
Perhams if Amarok were to mount the iPod itself, it would be. However, do to some (unfortunate and unknown) flaw in my Arch Linux configuration, I have to manually mount my iPod. Could it be that Amarok is not prepared for manual mounts, and consequently doesn't start the a seperate collection scan thread (or some such task)?
Comment 3 Seb Ruiz 2009-01-13 04:25:28 UTC
What I meant to say is that reading the itunes db should be threaded.
Comment 4 Mikko C. 2009-06-06 11:38:46 UTC
The same freeze happens when plugging my MTP device.
Comment 5 Alejandro Wainzinger 2009-07-24 15:05:03 UTC
Yeah, iPod parsing should be threaded. Can't do anything about the mounting issue with Arch Linux though.

p.s., MTP connecting is threaded.  It shouldn't be freezing up the GUI when connecting, it doesn't do it for me.

It does for a little while with my ZVM which has 4500 tracks.

Maybe it's because it needs to parse many tracks.

Comment 7 Alejandro Wainzinger 2009-09-05 15:24:17 UTC
Threading of connection requires a decent amount of reworking, targetting for 2.3.
Comment 8 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-11-04 00:29:40 UTC
Changing version.
Comment 9 Mark Kretschmann 2009-12-04 11:58:40 UTC
This one is really nasty. Just got this, with a MTP device (4 gigs flash):

Adding keyword
Comment 14 Mark Kretschmann 2009-12-07 08:48:17 UTC
Making this a release_blocker is somewhat dangerous, as it could delay the release for a good while.

It's currently unclear if the problem can be fixed quickly (or rather: worked around), or if we need a complete redesign of the subsystem (which would take months).


I have some ideas I want to try for a workaround, but I can't promise anything.
Comment 15 Mark Kretschmann 2009-12-26 11:34:18 UTC
We won't be able to fix this before 2.2.2 final (it's far too complex), so I'm removing the release_blocker keyword.
Comment 16 Mikko C. 2009-12-29 12:41:02 UTC
Thanks to xevix this is fixed in commit 602801f67eeb506d17b2294f8ae22ff233c1e134.
Fix will be in Amarok 2.2.2.
