Description Bastian Neumann 2011-05-14 05:06:11 UTC

Created attachment 59981 [details]
recently plug in device

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I plug in my Dick Smith Mp4 player (A5148) and KDE recognized it as an MP3PLAER as seen on the screenshot.

The device was not recognized by the linux kernel that was shiped with kubuntu 11.4 and is supported in a newer version. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463285

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
plug in the device

Actual Results:  
shown as MP3PLAER and Amarok does not recognize it. dolphin can access the files on the device

Expected Results:  
Amarok recognize it as portable media device or mp3 player

system language is german

Comment 1 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-05-14 14:10:26 UTC

Did you mount the device? On the screenshot you attached it isn't mounted.

Also, does this player use the MTP mode by default or is the selection automatic between MTP and MSC mode? In that case you need to set it to the desired mode manually.?

Comment 2 Bastian Neumann 2011-05-14 22:54:40 UTC

yes, I mounted the device. it does show up as a MSC. there is no mode selection as far as i know.

basti@basti-laptop:~$ mtp-detect
libmtp version: 1.0.6

   No raw devices found.

Comment 3 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-07-17 22:32:54 UTC

If it is in MSC mode it doesn't use libmtp, as this is the basic USB protocol. Has something changed about this since May? Current available Amarok version in Kubuntu is 2.4.1 and we are about to release 2.4.2 in a few days.

Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2011-09-10 20:17:00 UTC

Closing for lack of feedback. Feel free to reopen this report if you can still reproduce this with Amarok 2.4.3 or later.
