[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 801845] Re: archos 43 is not recognized by banshee as media player

[Kamus]

I wish we could send a patch to upstream for get a real solution to this
as soon as possible, in that way we might have this issue fixed in
Oneiric, any way, guys from libmtp told me:

Message:
This device does not appear to be MTP at all, rather it seems
like it is implementing the USB Mass Storage protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass-storage_device_class

Certain signs of this is a "lsusb -v" output showing
things like this:

bInterfaceClass 8 Mass Storage
bInterfaceSubClass 6 SCSI
bInterfaceProtocol 80 Bulk (Zip)

- If you have problems having it recognized as a media player in e.g.
music
 management applications, the usual solution is to add a simple file in
the
 root folder named ".is_music_player" (remember the initial dot!)

- The more complex and permanent solution that will solve the same issue
 for everyone, is to add the device ID to udev default detection scripts
in
 /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb-media-players.rules
 send a patch to the linux-hotplug mailing list for this, subscribe here:
 http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-hotplug
 Direct mail:
 linux-hotplug at vger.kernel.org

- If you have problems connecting to the device, it can be a generic USB
 or USB mass storage issue, talk to linux-usb or similar people.

so, I have sent an email for now with all this information

Title:
  archos 43 is not recognized by banshee as media player

Status in libmtp:
  Unknown
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I got an archos 43 (with android 'froyo') and I have been able to
  temporarily fix this by adding '.isaudio_player'. I obtained this
  information from another andoird device; the google nexsus. Based on
  what I read on that bug I was supposed to fill out a new bug for this
  particular hardware.
