Description Keith Gable 2009-02-18 03:24:33 UTC

Version:           2.0.0.1 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I'm wanting to get my iPhone (supported just like an iPod at this point) working on Amarok 2.0. Probably a good first step is to get isIpod to return true for iPhone. Attaching patch.

I'm new to Amarok's code so I have no idea where the ipodDetected() and connectIpod() functions are defined. It does look however that if I could get HAL to store volume mount point for my iPhone, it would work properly in Amarok. Right now, I'm using sshfs to mount it. There is such a thing as iFuse, which does the AFP-over-USB thing needed to make the iPhone work. But that still doesn't really help me if I can't get HAL to understand where the mount point is located. (Is there a HAL policy file modification that can possibly make this work? NTFS-3G sets it so it must be possible)

This doesn't seem to be fixed yet in trunk: https://launchpad.net/bugs/362182

This patch was indeed commited to trunk, so please don't reopen this report.

Regardless, I don't see how we can solve the iPhone/touch connection problem without it being solved in upstream with a hal register.
