Over the last couple of days I have committed a set of changes to reimplement the parts of rhythmbox that were using HAL. The HAL code is still there, but the new code is used if possible. The new code requires GUdev 143 or newer.
For identification of USB mass storage devices, we're now using a library I created called libmediaplayerid, in conjunction with a set of media player description files and udev rules you can find here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~teuf/media-player-id/ If you don't want to install the media-player-id files under /usr, you can use the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable to locate them, but the udev rules must be installed in /lib/udev/rules.d or /etc/udev/rules.d for it to work at all. Since nothing besides rhythmbox is using libmediaplayerid, it currently lives in the rhythmbox source tree. It may move somewhere else some day. We also have GUdev-based code for detecting MTP devices, which should work better than the HAL code in two ways: it should work with multiple devices, and it should detect MTP devices that aren't yet in libmtp's known device list. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
