[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 733428] Re: Banshee refuses to sync with ipod touch due to missing converter

[Alex Forencich]

Solved.  Not a banshee issue.  The problem was my assumption that it was
being properly detected.  It was not.  The Ubuntu packages usbmuxd and
ifuse (perhaps libgpod4 and libimobiledevice1 as well) are out of date
and do not support the latest version of the ipod simply because of a
new USB device id.  Fixed packages are available in pmcenery/ppa.
Installing the updated versions of these packages and rebooting solved
the issue.

Title:
  Banshee refuses to sync with ipod touch due to missing converter

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  Banshee refuses to sync with a new iPod touch 4.2.1.  The device seems
  to be properly detected, however when attempting to drag an album to
  the iPod, the transfer fails with

      The [ogg|mp3] format is not supported by the device, and no
  converter was found to convert it.

  The error messages are accompanied by debug logs of the form:

  [5 Warn  03:07:58.970] Caught an exception - System.ApplicationException: The ogg format is not supported by the device, and no converter was found to convert it (in `Banshee.Dap')
    at Banshee.Dap.DapSource.AddTrackAndIncrementCount (Banshee.Collection.Database.DatabaseTrackInfo track) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
    at Banshee.Sources.PrimarySource.AddTrackList (System.Object cached_list) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

  Earlier on in the debug output is a series of messages like this:

  [5 Debug 03:07:57.557] Starting
  [5 Debug 03:07:58.464] Initialized MediaProfileManager: 0.864807
  [5 Debug 03:07:58.621] GStreamer pipeline does not run: audioconvert ! novellaacenc bitrate=128000 profile=2 outputformat=0 ! novellqtmux

  [5 Debug 03:07:58.804] GStreamer pipeline does not run: audioconvert ! fluwmaenc bitrate=64000 vbr=false ! fluasfmux

  that seem to indicate the codec is missing.  However, all gstreamer
  plugins seem to be installed.  Also, this is not a new bug, several
  forum postings (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592840) are
  floating around about the same issue.
