So clearly you have not even installed the component and had a look around the preferences (etc.). Please take some time to actually try and understand the replies you already have, and it would be an idea to refrain from asking any more questions until the iPod that you say you are getting soon actually turns up just to save everyone a bit of time.

You can't add Podcasts 'properly' (so they come up in the Podcasts section etc.) with this component.


Yeah, that's what i was thinking- thanks for confirming that for me! Using with iTunes works fine. Not to sound ungrateful, but is "podcast support" going to be added?

Nooot really as splitted values, so that song A, which is "rock; pop" shows up under both rock and pop. I suggest remapping you genres with "$meta(genre,0)", which'll return the first listed genre.


yeah, but i don't wish to change my files on the hard drive... if i leave them as they are like now, how would they come up on my iPod?

and is it a big issue, or something that could be fixed by a software update by apple? (so i can mail them a feedback)


See: Config:Database. Might be wrong, but I don't think it changes the files on your computer, just the ones uploading to the ipod. I think if the genres are listed in foobar as "rock; pop", they come up on the ipod as "rock, pop". As Nemphael suggested, might be an idea remap it so it only uses the first genre.

A bit of a bug (or not, not really sure). Using foo_dop with my iPod touch, and any song that begins with "A", for example "A Day in the Life", it will put the song (when viewed in the all songs tab on the iPod) with all the songs that begin with an "A", but on top of the song there will be a bar with the letter beginning with the next word (in my example, a "D"). Anyone know why it's doing that, and how to fix it? When the songs are added with iTunes, the song in my example is put with all the songs that begin with a D.

Well, it just just seems like a large enough can of worms that I don't want to think about at the moment  Using iTunes just for them seems a reasonable compromise.

I wouldn't mind the screenshot you offered elsewhere so I can see where this 'D' is appearing "above the song", but the question is whether you want the song under 'A' or 'D'. I can probably fix it either way.

Hi
I'm having a problem when comes the time to write to the DB.
It's the first time I'm having a problem with this plugin and I use it quite often.
I've just added a few albums and I got this error:

Error writing iTunesDB file : Expected 16 character
FireWireGUID. Got: 5

What's causing this? And how to fix it?
Thanks

Edit:
Foobar2000 v0.9.5.1
foo_dop 0.6.2.6

Something's odd there.

Your version of the component is a bit old. If you update to the latest, there will be a "Device Instance Path" written in the console. Paste that here please.

It shouldn't make a difference.

Can you post complete output from foobar2000 console after connecting your iPod and sending a song?

Can you also try restarting your iPod to see if that makes any difference?

Well, i can successfully sync one album or song fine, but when i try and sync my entire iPod selection playlist thats when i get a bunch or artwork and gapless errors.  How can i get the complete output from foobar2000?  is this it?:

Those are normal warnings. Anything else (e.g. error writing iTunesDB) is not.

Yes.

So if you are saying nothing is actually showing up on the iPod, can you:
1. Hold Shift and click on File, then iPod/Backup iTunesDB file and save it somewhere.
2. Run iTunes. Does it ask you to restore your iPod? Then I will give some further instructions.

Nothing shows up when i sync my entire ipod selection playlist.  it does when i sync just a few songs :/

I saved the iTunesDB file, and iTunes doesn't ask me to restore.

There was probably just some error writing the iTunesDB file for some reason. Unfortunately it seems it can happen sometimes when sending many things to an iPhone/iPod touch.

Since you sent the files with an old version of the component, you will have to do this to recover the files copied but not in the database:
1. Open foobar2000 preferences/advanced/Tools/iPod manager/Number of extra filename chars and increase it by a few digits (four higher than previous value should be enough).
2. Run File/iPod/Recover orphaned files.

I restored my ipod a bit ago before i started posting, so right now I just have 1 album on that synced correctly, should I try and sync my ipod selection playlist now?

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Reply #1817 –
Well, I don't know. I am only going off behaviour that occurred for some people a fair while ago.

If it is a problem, sending the files in a couple of separate runs using 'send files' (or sync, enlarging the selection of files the second time), restarting foobar2000 in-between each, would probably avoid it.

Ok, i tried syncing all of them again and got:

Code: [Select]
Error writing iTunesDB file : I/O Error: AFCFileInfoOpen returned: 12 Path was: /iTunes_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB.dop.backup


Im going to try what you said and just put them on in a few different runs.... is there any fix though?

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Unfortunately I don't own an iPod touch, so it's not easy to debug/fix. But yes that is the error code when the connection dies.

What is the total size of all the files you are trying to add?

So as you probably know you now have a bunch of orphaned files on your iPod, recover orphaned files should locate them and I would just remove them as they will be lacking artwork etc.

4000+ :/ , so i will cut it down and see what happens!

[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

Reply #1821 –
I have no idea if it would have any relevance, but making sure iTunes, iPod firmware and Windows are all up-to-date can't hurt.

If it does happen again, I understand most/all iPod commands won't work straight afterwards - does restarting foobar2000 (without disconnecting the iPod) sort that?

One other thing - is there any possibility your iPod is getting close to full capacity? What capacity is your iPod and what is the file size of those 4000+ files?

Can you also tell me what OS / service pack you are running?

I did it by doing about 1500 at a time, and I have a 32 GB

Im on Windows Xp SP3

Now, another question.  I have a specific playlist that I sync to my ipod.  It contains the songs that I want on ym ipod, and the ones i dont are not in it.  How can I get new songs that foobar finds to be put in there automatically?  Also, if i syn that playlist, will songs put put on again that are already on my ipod?

Or, is ther a way to check songs that i want like in iTunes?  That would be so convienent.

Hmm thanks, it's quite peculiar.. I wonder if it happens after a certain amount of data has been transferred? But then there should be more complaints about it, really. Out of interest, could you post a list of installed components? (Copy from prefs page)

Hmm, some kind of autoplaylist might help, but it depends on what criteria you use to select the songs.

As long as they haven't been modified, they won't be recopied.
