Over the past while, I've been working on the media player sync code Paul Bellamy wrote as part of his summer of code project. As of about half an hour ago, the code is now available in the 'media-player-sync' branch in the git repository (http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/log/?h=media-player-sync).
The main thing that I think needs to be done for merging this to master is to improve the sync settings UI. I don't really like the way it behaves at the moment, but I'm not entirely sure what to do instead. Feedback and ideas welcome. Some possible future work: - podcast sync settings - number of episodes to transfer to a device, whether to skip episodes that have already been played, maybe more - automatic syncing - I haven't thought much about how this would work, but it seems like a sensible idea - better handling of out-of-space situations - currently you have to manually change the sync options so the selected items will fit on the device, which isn't much fun - some way of handling files on the device that aren't in the library - currently these will just be deleted, but in some cases you'd probably want to copy them into the library instead - support for generic (USB mass storage) players - this shouldn't be hard, as there isn't much device specific code for syncing. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
