Description Adam Williamson 2006-10-05 00:26:23 UTC

Here's a patch (based on the guide at http://blog.pcode.nl/?p=176 ) which
modifies 10-usb-music-players.fdi to see the Motorola V360 phone (when connected
in mass storage mode via its mini-USB port) as an audio player. (It should
actually probably be seen as a video player too, but I'm not sure how to do
that, and this better than nothing :>). I don't know if this can be specified
via HAL, but if it can, the song files should be stored in the /mobile/audio/
directory on the device. I've tested this patch and it works.

I did some tooling about and it seems that you can use the key
portable_audio_player.audio_folders to tell the system where audio files should
be stored. I've thus updated the patch to add this key to the V360 entry,
pointing to the appropriate directory - /mobile/audio . I also took the
opportunity to add a couple of other such lines, one for the PSP pointing to
/PSP/MUSIC (that's the correct path for music files on the PSP), and one for the
w800, pointing to /mp3 : there is a comment at the top of the entry for the w800
saying this is where audio files should go, but no actual key. I assume the
entry was written before this key was introduced, or whoever wrote the entry
didn't know about it. Hope this patch is useful.

Well, since no-one looked at this yet, here's one more updated version of the
patch - it just adds storage.model and storage.vendor keys for the V360, which
seems to result in apps displaying a more sane name for it.

*forlorn poke*

Comment 8 Ernst Sjöstrand 2007-02-11 13:33:42 UTC

Oh, I was just about to report this oneliner for the W800. Why hasn't this been merged?

I actually put in this for the W800:
<append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders" type="strlist">MP3/</append>
<append key="portable_audio_player.audio_folders" type="strlist">MSSEMC/Media files/audio/</append>

Uppercase MP3 and the other directory is ok also I think. 
A company like Sony Ericsson should hire someone to help with this.. :-)

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2007-02-12 12:32:21 UTC

I've no idea why it hasn't been merged yet, I keep bumping it :/
