Hi, I'm the proud owner of a brand new iPod video, and just used foo_dop to transfer all me music, and I have to say its incredibly good.

Anyhow, I'm new to all this video jazz, and I was wondering how you actually give a video file the TV Show, Episode Number, Season Number etc tags. I read somewhere that you can get TV Shows to come up under "TV Shows" rather than "Movies" on the iPod but I have no idea how.

Thanks again for the great plugin

Hi musicmusic,

I was wondering if foo_dop has full support of audiobooks? I ask this because I just started listening to my fist audiobook in m4b format and I'm having trouble seeing the listing of chapters in the audiobooks section of the ipod after using foo-dop.

I loaded the the audiobook using iTunes, because fb2k does not recognize m4b. Yesterday, I added some songs to my iPod using foo_dop, then used "Load iPod Library" to make sure the songs were added, then disconnected.

Later, when I went to listen to my audiobook, "Audiobook" list on the iPod was blank. So, this morning I attached the iPod to iTunes, saw that the chapters were still there, then disconnected. I went back into "Audiobooks" on the iPod again, and the chapters re-appeared in the list.

Do you have any idea what may be happening? I am using fb2k 0.9.4.4, foo_dop 0.4.6 Test, and iTunes 7.3.2.6 and the iPod is a G4 grayscale.

Thanks!

Not likely  Also noted different directory name (iTunes_Control vs. iPod_Control). Is it using iTunesDB? Maybe new iPods will use similar structure.

It's not possible to sync them back to your local library.

OK but I hope you know new iPods are expected this week  Though don't know if foo_dop will get along with them yet..

Click: [/a] Also TV Shows need to be tagged properly to show up on the iPod (IIRC Show Name & Season Number are needed) Click [a href="http://yuo.be/wiki/dop:start#field_mappings" target="_blank"]here for field names.

Probably foo_dop is clearing some flag or removing some data in the database. I dont use audiobooks so this hasn't really been tested. All you did to break it was 'Send files to iPod', correct? I'll look into it then.

Thanks musicmusic, I seem to have skipped over that bit in the wiki.

Hi,

Yes, that is correct. Thank you for looking into that for me. If you need any files sent, let me know and I get them to you.

If you could get me before (i.e. working) & after (i.e. broken) iTunesDB files it would be helpful. For the after "Rewrite iPod database" should be enough to break it (check that though).

Let me synchronize the same playlist to both and do a compare... I could also provide you any files you need.

On a side note, sadly I have not been using the iPhone as an iPod at all, largely due to lack of foo_dop. Hah!

Thanks.. but if this doesn't act as a UMSD I can't see support being added in foo_dop, sorry. Need data from new Nano 3G & Classic iPods though

hi all, just downloaded the plugin and don't know anything about it

So I've got two questions:
is there possibly to have a "albumlist" of the artist from the iPod?
is there possibly to browse ipod libary like "SCPL" instead of using external window?


thx in advance!

EDIT: fixed it....

Hi mate, I have enough info now to get the classic working, but I need a little bit of info to add support for the Nano 3G. Can you get me the VID/PID (instructions - ignore remark about disk mode) and the XML property list (goto foo_dop prefs / tools and click on view ipod device info, copy all the info and PM it to me)

Great component, now I don't have to open iTunes... unless I want to remove something from my iPod. I tried it with foo_dop, but it doesn't work, it shows me some kind of an error. I think it's because my filenames are too long and they got cut when transporting to iPod. Can you fix it?

And I have an idea. It would be really great, if there was an option "Eject iPod" in the context menu.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see, that there already is such an option.

Probably the problem is what the error says  Make sure you are using the load library command and then using the remove command on files on the iPod playlist.

OK good news is that working iPod Classic support is implemented for next version - thanks to lots of testing by Soup_Menu (Nano 3G should also work). Currently though the artwork preview in the menus isn't working - I'll be able to fix that once I get a Classic in hand in a few days. So unless anyone wants a version with that broken new version will be released when that's fixed.

musicmusic, I'd just like to say that you're such a great guy doing wonderful work lots of people greatly appreciate.

Thank you so much for all the brilliant things you did and continue doing for the foobar2000 community, and keep up a great work

(I'm in love with columns_ui and foo_dop)

Yeah, the missing coverart preview in the menus seems to be hitting all of the iTunes replacements. I know that ml_ipod has run into the same thing. I'd be happy to check out a version of it without the previews, if you want someone else with a Classic to give it a try.

Thanks again musicmusic, great component.

I've had my ipod classic 80gb delivered today and would be more than willing to give the new version a test drive if you need it.

Yeh, I have ideas but its not practical to test without the Classic in hand, so I'll find out the cause once I receive mine. Which may be next week.

About testing: I don't need it tested ATM, I know most of the issues already. But if you want to use a new version that has at least the mentioned limitation (artwork previews in menus not working) then I don't mind releasing that now.

Any chance of that release please; I can cope without the artwork previews, what I can't is replaygain->soundcheck conversion.

Done.

These are (visible) issues I know about:
  * Artwork previews in menus aren't working
  * Probably doesn't handle playlist folders well
  * Some error dialogs (with lists of files) are a bit messy. They'll be changed to same style as gapless scan results dialog.

I just got my iPod Nano 3rd Generation with 8GB and was willing to at least try iTunes. I expected it to be a little easier. It just wouldn't do what I wanted. foo_pod, however, worked fine. Thanks for the Plugin.
