lost banshee support

hi all,

i noticed that my pulse doesn't show up in banshee anymore, I don't know where it went wrong but the last time i used banshe was before i rooted the phone.

I first thought it was because banshee would look for a music folder on the sd card, but that is definitely not it...

Does anyone have/had the same problem?

any suggestions?

thx

I believe that the problem is not caused by android, nor by banshee, but by nautilus - your file manager, that handles removable devices. I know there is a fix out there, but I cannot remember specifically what to do. You could try restarting nautilus with:

sudo killall nautilus && nautilus

I doubt that'll fix the problem, but it is worth a try!

Thx it is a good suggestion, but that was not it ;)

As I said, the problem is with the latest version of nautilus, which has a bug that is basically hiding your phone from banshee. I will try and find the temporary work around for you ;)

Ok, with a little research and testing (I have since found out that this bug affects me too), you can try this out:

I found out that in gnome, all I would have to do is disconnect the ipod and

make sure that banshee is closed. Then open up terminal and run 'killall -9

nautilus'. Then plug in the iPod and wait about 30 seconds, then run nautilus

again by hitting Alt+F2. After I ran this and opened up banshee my iPod worked

like a charm.

Hmm,

Tried that but it doesn't work... so maybe it's not nautilus thats causing the problem?

Try adding an empty ".is_audio_player" file in the root of your SD card.
