iPod manager 0.6.3.4 released. This adds compatibility for iPod touch / iPhone with 2.x software. Please note for those devices there's an extra library you need to download.



That's great, Thank you musicmusic, I will be able to use my ipod touch 2G now

Edit: It seems to work like a charm for now (0.6.3.7), you're the best musicmusic

Now I will use itunes just to syncronise the ipod touch calendar with outlook, unless someone knows another software/plugin that can do it ?
Sorry for the bad english, I'm french .

Hi,

I am having issues, but before I get into it.  Does foo_dop work with the iphone 2.2 firmware on Vista x64?

I reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Support, but the installer is AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi

I am running iPhone 2.2 and Vista 64 bit, and have gotten this working.

Yes that's right as it includes a 64-bit driver. The software seems to all be 32-bit still.

So please state what the issue is - if it is something to do with the component not recognising the iPhone post a full foobar2000 console log after connecting it.

The other potential issue is that if your firewall for some reason is blocking local network connections from foobar2000 that would also prevent it from working.

Thanks for the quick reply,

Seems like I have it working now.  I didn't notice the checkbox for "Enable Mobile Device Support" in the options before.

I just have to play around with it now, But I do get an error when trying to go to Properties.  It says Failed to Read SysInfo:  Object Not Found.

Sorry, I haven't read the previous posts yet to see if other people got the same error, I can still post a console Log if needed to.

Properties is not implemented for the iPhone / iPod touch. I am sure it says that, the error tacked on the end is just a bit of a quirk.

Hey again,

Sorry, I'm a completely new user to the foo_dop, and I couldn't find this error with anyone else.

I realized, I couldn't be syncing music to the iphone through foobar, and podcasts/video through itunes.  Whenever I'd sync the podcasts and videos with itunes, it'd just delete whatever music I put on through foobar.

Music syncing was already unchecked in iTunes, and no isn't any music in my iTunes library.  So, I decided to uncheck podcast and video syncing.

I loaded up the videos into foobar, and I tried to send them to the ipod, but it was taking a really long time, and I wanted to try something else, but it wouldn't cancel, and I did a force shutdown on it.

Now, when I try to sync anything with the iphone through foobar, i get a metadata cache error.  This is what shows up on the console whenever i try to do anything:

"Error reading metadata_cache.fpl from iPod: Unsupported format or corrupted file"

I am assuming the file got corrupted.

I tried syncing Videos and Podcasts back to the iphone through iTunes, and they synced okay.

Right now, I am trying to find the file, metadata_cache.fpl, in the iphone so I can delete it and see if that fixes anything.  It's not in the root, and there are lots of folders to go through.

*UPDATE*

Okay, I found it, it's in the /user/media folder.  I deleted it, and seems like the music is syncing again.  I'll try the video syncing again through foobar.

*UPDATE 2*

Okay, seems like I can't really sync anything with itunes without itunes removing the videos/music that was synced with Foobar.

I unchecked sync music/video/podcasts in iTunes, but it doesn't seem to help.

Have you tried dragging podcast episodes/videos to a playlist on your device? Just sending, not syncing, shouldn't delete what's already sent with foo_dop, IIRC.

Nope, I never used the "Sync with Ipod" command, always used the "Send to Ipod" within Foobar.

Random question here- can anyone confirm that the 2.0.1 Ipod Classic firmware works with foo_dop?

Hey musicmusic,

Would it be possible for you to create an iTunes-esque panel that allows is to manage our iPods with buttons and a "space-left bar"?

Currently I am using some depreciated components to achieve an effect that seems to work well so far, but it isn't perfect. This is what I have come up with:


The code I am using to make it is pretty clean, but it's a lot of code, and of course there are limitations and imperfections since there aren't really any components to measure iPod sizes lol.

Having some variables that can be used in Track Display panels to measure the size of the different directories would be awesome.


Do you mind sharing your Code? I'm working on the same and I don't get it. I don't have  the menu toolbar in my foobar so buttons seem to be a perfect workaround.

Thanks in advance!

It appears that in order for foo_dop (0.6.3.7) to use foobar2000's built-in artwork reader, the "Source script" field cannot be blank.  Is this by design?  I managed to get around this by using a dummy path that will never point to a real file, but I wanted to make sure because I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Yes, I did mention it at some point on here, but I forgot to change it it seems. Thanks for the reminder, I will change it for the next build.

I too would like to know how you made this - especially how you managed to get used/remaining space. It would be lovely if you could share it with us. Thanks in advance form me too.

Version 0.6.3.9 released. (Some database format changes - keep an eye on things such as sorting on the iPod)

Now, iPod Properties should work on iPod touch/iPhone devices, and display some possibly useful info. However I can't test so some verification would be nice. I would also like to know if WiFi MAC Address displays anything useful for anyone.

I can confirm that the iPod properties dialog displays correct info for my iPod touch 2G, including the wireless MAC address, which matches what's shown in the touch's settings menu.  The only difference is that foo_dop reports 6.63GB free, while the touch itself reports 6.5GB, and iTunes reports 6.53GB.

Also, album art works fine now when I leave "Source script" blank, so thank you for that.

Hi,

Sorry to bring it up again, but I can't seem to send music to the iphone through foo_dop and not have itunes delete it everytime I sync with that.

Is anybody here successfully sending music in foobar and not have their music deleted everytime they sync with iTunes?

You simply need to check "manage ipod music manually" option in iTunes. Because each time you start them, they are trying to sync all your music, whereas if a song isn't on iTunes it's being simply deleted.

Great  One of the examples I had just had a bunch of zeros for the MAC address, but maybe something was wrong with that device. I could also display some other things for iPhones (IMEI, phone number, ...).

It seems to be down to the way the data is obtained and reported. Some space is reserved or something. I can probably change mine to be same same as iTunes anyway.

Thanks, that solves everything for me

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.

EDIT: Forgot something.

Any news on working it with 2.2.1 firmware?

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?
