Hello Dave,
David Martin - Airgead Studio a écrit :
What I'm looking at doing is adding an autofill option (random songs
or random albums) as my ipod (nano) isn't big enough to sync my entire
collection.
The auto-fill is option is something that is often asked for. I can't
remember if someone had written a plugin to do it or not, maybe someone
on the list will know :)
The second thing I would like to do is enhance the podcast
functionality. I subscribe to a lot of podcasts so I use podget
running in my server to download them overnight then write them to the
ipod using rythmbox. Unfortunately this doesn't set the media type so
although I can manually add them to the podcast playlist they don't
work as proper podcasts. I was thinking of borrowing from ml_ipod and
allowing you to set a section of your media library (a folder or set
of genres) that contains podcasts and setting the media type
appropriately when files are transfered.
Podcasts is an area of the iPod plugin which deserve some love. Since
I'm not using podcasts myself, I tend to prioritize other stuff before
polishing podcast support :) However, the media type issue you mention
is a bit worrying since the iPod plugin is supposed to be able to set it
:) Which version of rhythmbox are you using ?
If this sort of thing is already in the works I don't want to
duplicate effort. I also don't want to take this in a direction other
folks don't want to go. If the folks who handle the ipod plug-in hang
around on the list, could you let me know if A- this sounds like a
good feature to add and B - this isn't something you are already
working on? Also, what is the protocol for submitting changes? Should
I raise a bug in bugzilla to cover it and submit a patch or is there
another prefered way?
Yep bugzilla is the way to go, but it's generally better to discuss
about how you plan to do things (especially UI changes) to make sure
your patch won't be rejected because it doesn't fit well with RB UI. If
you want to discuss changes, this can be done here, on bugzilla, or on
our IRC channel (irc.gnome.org #rhythmbox).
Hope that helps, welcome :)
Christophe
