Howdy folks,
The guide that used to be at http://tricky.vanstaveren.us/Projects/Open_Source/Banshee/MTP has now been moved to the Banshee wiki at http://www.banshee-project.org/Guide/DAPs/MTP. All the subpages have been moved accordingly. My site has all the pages set to forward to the Banshee site, so update your bookmarks now :)
MTP progress has been busy as of late and with the recent release of libgphoto2-sharp 2.3.0, I’ve seen quite a few people trying to get their MTP devices working with Banshee and I’ve also been busy writing a lot of code. Hopefully in the next few days I can tie up a few things and commit my local changes which include playlist support – yes folks, full playlist support. It’s still a bit buggy tho, so I need a few more days to hack at it :)
libgphoto2-2.3.1 was released this past weekend, be sure to grab it for optimal MTP use! It has a new hack to increase initialization times by factors between 10 and 100 times because of sped up metadata reading. Naturally, this is hella-good :)
I was wondering whether you keep a copy of the MTP guide. I’ve been having trouble getting Banshee to read the tracks in my Creative ZEN (copying *to* the player works OK though, and it reads Podcasts and Playlists without a problem), and I was curious about the MTP guide in the project wiki. It has been down for ages now, so if you still keep a copy of the guide somewhere could you please point me to it?
Cheers,
David
