Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: media-player-info
I just bought a Sony player (NWZ-E355). On Windows, it is recognized as
an MTP device, but when I plug it in my Ubuntu PC it is seen as a mass
storage device. This is pretty nice. :)
What is less nice is that my audio player is recognized as a USB
thumbdrive, not an audio player. Here I would like to suggest some infos
to make NWZ-E355 seen as an audio player in Ubuntu.
[Device]
Product=Walkman NWZ-E355
Vendor=Sony
AccessProtocol=storage
DeviceMatch=usb:054c:04cb;
[Media]
OutputFormats=audio/mpeg;audio/mp3;audio/x-ms-wma;audio/wma;audio/aac;audio/mp4;audio/mpa;audio/x-wav;audio/wav;audio/3gpp;video/x-ms-wmv;image/jpeg
[storage]
AudioFolders=MUSIC/;PICTURE/;PICTURES/;DCIM/;VIDEO/;PODCASTS/
I'm not sure m-p-i can manage videos, playlists or pictures folders -- I just
copied a random m-p-i file and adapted it to the NWZ-E355, and it seems to
work. But if so:
- Music is stored in MUSIC/. I don't know if there is a limit in folder depth;
- Videos are stored in VIDEO/;
- Pictures are stored in PICTURE/, PICTURES/ and DCIM/ (I don't know why so
many folders);
- Playlists are stored in Playlists/ (only the first letter in caps). I don't
know what types are managed by the player. According to Sony's manual, PLA from
WMP are probably the only one type recognized by E355, but I might be wrong. I
don't know how I could test this.
I attached a 'capability_00.xml' file that is located in the device. You
might find some useful informations to complete this m-p-i.
