[seemingly abandonware] iPod manager

i'm having problems with the artwork on my nano 4g firmware 1.03.
i have two machines with the same foobar config, same music lib, same foo_dop, same settings. on one machine it works without a problem. on the other machine it does not copy the artwork. it's exactly the same config.
the machine it works on is the machine i set the ipod up using itunes. does it have something to do with this?

edit: foo_dop version is 0.6.3.9 but happens with 0.6.3.6 also

thanks

Feature request: When synchronizing your iPod, foo_dop displays a window which tells you which tracks will be synchronized, and then go to the window which says "Syncing: x out of y tracks left". I'd like to suggest including some information about how many tracks which will be synced in the first window.
Yes, it would be useful, I'll note it.

Any news on working it with 2.2.1 firmware?
Are you asking if it works (I can't say for definite, but I would say it should) or that it doesn't work?

I've had this problem for awhile and it's finally bugging me enough to ask about it. Say I have a tv season of 6 episodes. When I add these to my Nano 3G, they are always sorted in reverse order of episode number, i.e. Episode 6 is at the top, decreasing to Episode 1 at the bottom. This occurs whether I add all 6 at once, or whether I add them one at a time in the correct order. Strangely, when I add movies split in 2 files, they always sort correctly.

What am I doing wrong with the sorting of my TV Shows?
Did you tag them with the video tagger before sending? (i.e. episode number and season number)

Well, something must be different, or you are drawing incorrect conclusions. iTunes doesn't have anything to do with what the component does with artwork. If you are using it and it is doing something then that is a different case. Some general hints on relevant preferences help page and the component FAQ.

Yes, the only tag I don't enter is Episode ID, as I'm not sure of its purpose. For what it's worth, I think most of my episode numbers are in the format 102, 103, etc.

Do you have the latest firmware for the Nano 3G? My shows seem to be sorted fine on my Classic 80GB which is strange as the firmware is very similar.

Epsiode ID is a string that uniquely identifies they episode. You can use a format like SSEE (SS = zero padded season number, EE = zero padded episode number). It does get involved in sorting but it doesn't seem necessary for me.

If you are saying though 101 means season 1, episode 1, I would separate those into the season and episode number fields.

i found the problem. it works only when i give the user admin rights (under xp32). i have user profile support enabled in foobar. under vista it works when i have user rights only. now that is really strange.

I separated the season and episode numbers into single digits, and added Episode ID in the form 0101, 0102, 0103, etc but my files are still sorted in reverse.

Is there any way to check or update the nano firmware without installing itunes?

Correct. I will make it clearer on the wiki.

The latest version for the nano 3G is 1.1.3, you can check the current version using this component (File/iPod/Properties). You have to use iTunes to update though.

(I do remember some issues with TV show sorting in early classic/nano 3g firmware, that's why I asked).

Mine is still on 1.0.3, I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and install itunes. Thanks for the help.

I have a first generation non-jailbroken iPod Touch with version 2.2 firmware.
I have foobar2000 0.9.6.1 installed to C:\Program Files\foobar2000
I have foo_dop.dll 0.6.3.9 in C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components
I have MobileDeviceSign.dll in C:\Program Files\foobar2000
I have downloaded iTunesSetup.exe 8.0.2.20
I have extracted AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi from iTunesSetup.exe using 7-Zip
I have installed AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
I have uninstalled AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
I have reinstalled AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
I have repaired AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
I have restarted my computer
I have restarted foobar2000
I have enabled "Enable mobile device support" from File > Preferences > Tools > iPod Manager > Mobile Devices

View > iPod Devices does not display an iPod.
File > iPod says that an iPod is not found.

View > Console displays:
Startup time : 0:00.412248
iPod manager: Error intialising Mobile Device support: The system cannot find the file specified.

EDIT:
Installing iTunes completely resolved this problem.

You also need Quicktime apart from Apple Mobile Device Support (explained on wiki) - that error is because it failed to find some Quicktime registry key. Those two should be enough, but you'd need iTunes to set-up the device in the first place.

EDIT: Apologies, nevermind. It appears to have been an issue with my "concurrent conversion" option. I didn't recognize the overlap for some reason.

That looks like it can't find the encoder.

Short of upgrading your operating system, no.

What a great plugin this is! Congratulations to musicmusic for the fantastic work!

I use the plugin with an iPod Classic 6G (160GB).

There is only one issue I want to bring to notice. I discovered it twice already. Some background first:
I have a lossless music library that I also keep synchronised with a lossy (mp3) library. The structure (folders, files) is exactly the same, only that the lossy-directories don't have album art included.
Therefore I use the following title-formatting script to get the album art for the iPod from the respective lossless-directory:
D:\My Music\Lossless\%album artist%\%album artist% - %date% - %album%\cover
(the lossy pendant is: D:\My Music\Lossy\%album artist%\%album artist% - %date% - %album%\*)

This works perfectly, with the following exception: If the album title has a "?" at the end, no album art is synchronised with the ipod. The only way, I can get the art on the iPod is to remoce the album once again, then select only the one album in fb2k and adjust the preferences for the album art path to the exact full path of the album in the lossless directory (e.g. D:\My Music\Lossless\Room Eleven\Room Eleven - 2008 - Mmm... Gumbo -> the album is called Mmm... Gumbo?). Then send only that one album to the iPod.

Is this somehow a bug, or am I missing something/doing something wrong? I'm aware, that windows doesn't use "?" in path names. But what script should I use to avoid this problem?

Thanks in advance to you guys!

Hi,

You should use something like $replace(%album artist% - %date% - %album%,",,?,,*,.,/,) (amend to suit your needs) for the respective part(s) of your script. (Although about Columns UI, the notes at the end here more-or-less apply, I will copy them over to the respective iPod manager page).

I have a question regarding this very nice plugin which I use everytime I wanto to manage my ipod (so thank you for that!).

Is it possible to add a drag n' drop feature? What I'm thinking is adding a UI element where the ipod contents are displayed and where you have the possibility to: add songs/albums by the present send command or by dragin' from your library to ipod's UI element; delete songs from the ipod; edit tags; etc.

There is probably a very cool and alternative way of doing what I propose, but I like things simple  (also I haven't spent enough time playing with the plug in to really understand it's power, normaly I just view what is in the ipod, select a few albums and send them to it, and I use yamipod or some other ipod manager to delete songs)

I love this plugin, thanks. m4a transfer has been working flawlessly.

I'm having a problem using the conversion feature. When I try to send a FLAC file to my ipod, I get the error

"Failure to add to iPod:Conversion failed - Unexpected process exit code 00000001h"

I've tried with ffmpeg(revision 16573). The conversion parameters I am using are


-i %s -acodec alac -s %d


Using foobar to first convert the file and then send is working, but I'd like to get this feature working, without the intermediate step. Thanks!

Your parameters are incorrect. Press Help on the preferences page.

Well where did %s come from? Did you see it mentioned some place?

Read what the help page says. Then apply it to ffmpeg by reading its documentation. Somewhere in between I would wonder what the links to your e-mail account are for.

If you still didn't work it out, the key part is input via a pipe. I can't say using ffmpeg will work properly, because last time I piped a .wav file (on my hard drive) into it, the output was truncated, whilst it worked fine if I gave it the path of the file instead.

I saw it some sites..



-i -acodec alac %d

-i %s -acodec alac %d

i did two ways.. but still same message coming;
conversion failed - unexpected process exit code 00000001h

what is correct ffmpeg parameters for foo_dop?

thanks again for reply!!

You also need to tell ffmpeg the format of the input (i.e. that it is a .wav container). Mix that with all other info given to you and you might get something that works.
