Hi Nathan, > Thanks for the great software
I'm glad somebody is using gnupod. There's no download counter for gnupod (at least I havn't found it) so I don't have a clue about its user base. I also don't Adrian is pretty busy with other stuff so the project currently "feels" a sleepy. Now back to yoiur question. As I understand it there are no "new" iPod shuffle models. The latest shuffle model was introduced 2008-02 and was only an upgrade from 1GB to 2GB. Even the apple website still calls it 2.nd generation (same as the 2006 models): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 You can also assume that the database format didn't change to "4" (or you wouldn't be able to put music on it at all). > Whenever I skip to the next podcast I want it to be > discarded. Everything worked great until I had to replace my nano with > a new ipod shuffle. Now the bookmark field always says "0" with > bookmarkable="1"and the played _flag is always says "0" . Since you are using 0.99.7 you already have the following change in there: - gnupod_otgsync.pl: Marking files as played even when only the skipcount or bookmark is > 0. (It isn't mentioned in the CHANGES file though.) Here's the interesting line from gnupod_otgsync.pl: $el->{file}->{played_flag} = 1 if ($el->{file}->{playcount} > 0 || $el->{file}->{skipcount} > 0 || $el->{file}->{bookmark} > 0); I've never had an iPod shuffle. So I wonder if the shuffle updates those fields at all. Come to speak of if I wonder if the iPod shuffle does write any otg (On The Go) data at all. So, unless somebody with an iPod shuffle stands up and cries "bullshit" I'll put that down as a limitation of the iPod shuffle. Oh, wait ... google just produced an interesing hit for "ipod shuffle bookmark": http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1831 Can you confirm that the iPod shuffle does not bookmark mp3 files at all? If it doesn't then maybe it is also a little shaky on the skipcount as suggested here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=723026 Cheers -henrik _______________________________________________ Bug-gnupod mailing list Bug-gnupod@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnupod
