nomadjukebox script, could this be the problem

Case-Sensitive · 09-12-2006, 09:30 AM

Hi Guys

Im trying to get banshee-0.10.6 to work with the nomadjukebox mp3 player. Banshee does not seem to recognise the player. Im on a suse10(opensuse) with all the drivers nessessary to get the nomad player to work: libnjb, njb-sharp

I know the usb is connected and that suse has recognised it by the lsusb output:

Code:

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:410b Creative Technology, Ltd Nomad Jukebox Zen USB 2.0 MP3 player
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

then i was having a look at the nomadjukebox script in etc/hotplug and noticed that the variable PROGRAM was set to gnomad2:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Lifts a plugged in nomad jukebox to user space and
# optionally runs a client program.
# Written by Linus Walleij 2004, based on the "usbcam"
# script by Nalin Dahyabhai.
DEVICEOWNER=CONSOLE
DEVICEPERMS=0666
PROGRAM="cd ~; gnomad2 --display=localhost:0"

Should this not be changed to banshee, if thats the program thats using the jukebox? As Im not very confident and familiar in changing stuff, i thought I would ask to see if this is why my nomad isn't getting recognised.

If you have any thoughts on how to get it working, or you've made it work

Cheers

well, unfortunately it isn't that. I just tried it and when i connected the jukebox, banshee did not launch.

so i thought that i might mount the usb port using:
mount -t usbfs /dev/usbdev3.1 /home/rushabh/Desktop/zen/

when i opened the zen folder i got the following folders:

dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2006-09-12 15:03 001
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2006-09-12 15:03 002
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2006-09-12 15:03 003

Code:

-r--r--r--  1 root    root   0 2006-09-12 16:09 devices

the devices file contained the following:

Code:

T:  Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  6 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  2

E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms

why did it not contain the mp3 files that are on my jukebox? How do i do that?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers
