Hi all, Are there any known tricks for auto-mounting an MTP device? I think this stuff is used on some newer Android phone so I'm hoping someone has a nice solution.
My wife decided to buy the new Kindle Fire HD based on our good experience with the original Kindle Fire. The new device is very nice - faster, nicer screen, better networking, etc. - but no longer presents itself as a USB Mass Storage device like my older Kindle Fire. Rather it uses Media Transfer Protocol. (MTP) I've managed to get it mounted using a package from the poly-c overlay called jmtpfs. Info is located here: http://research.jacquette.com/jmtpfs-exchanging-files-between-android-devices-and-linux/ I've copied some movies over and they play fine on the new device but it's all by-hand manual mounting, etc. When the device is plugged in I get this sort of info in dmesg: [15720.370654] usb 2-2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd [15720.490935] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1949, idProduct=0007 [15720.490940] usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=4 [15720.490944] usb 2-2: Product: Kindle [15720.490947] usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Amazon [15720.490949] usb 2-2: SerialNumber: REMOVED and based on one post I read for Ubuntu (or maybe Arch - I don't remember) I've created this udev rule: mark@c2stable ~ $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules UBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1949", ATTR{idProduct}=="0007", MODE="0666" mark@c2stable ~ $ Anyway, it's all usable but a bit clumsy. Is there a sensible way I can have the device recognized and mounted via rules in fstab? (Or any other fixed file?) Thanks, Mark
