Ah, I see. Well, it would certainly be nice if gvfs would also get along with the player through the libgphoto backend, so that you can also browse files in nautilus, etc. Unfortunately I only have a Samsung U5 here, which speaks both UMS and MTP. So in gvfs/nautilus I see the mount, and if I open RB it unmounts and uses libmtp. So if m-t-p knows about an MTP device, I don't see why it would hurt to set the actual mpi file instead of just "1" (what the libgphoto rules do). > Nevertheless I still don't understand the logic of > 90-usb-media-players.rules.

Well, 95% of mtp is a direct import of hal-info's music-player database by now; it's not unlikely that this also contained MTP players. > So, it doesn't make any sense to me to correct the first point > (adding id 4131 for Creative Zen Touch) and not the above test. Agreed. I'd like to fix the test, too. I'll get to that soon. > PS : If its not the right place to discuss of udev/m-p-i let me know > where I can find information. It's fine. mpi bugs are tracked on bugs.freedesktop.org these days, but since I'm upstream I don't care much whether it's on fd or LP :) Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) -- Creative Zen Touch not properly detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478789 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
