gPodder not recognising iPod classic

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1071 / 2 Years ago, thu, december 2, 2021, 5:48:20

In the past (on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), I used gPodder without any problems to download and sync my podcasts with my iPod classic, however, now on Ubuntu 13.10 and with gPodder 3.5.1, my iPod is simply not being recognised.

Ubuntu itself recognises the iPod (as does iTunes itself on the windows 8 boot).

What could be the problem? what things could I try to get gPodder to find my iPod?

Thanks to the help of thp I resolved this.

Turns out I need to install version 3.6.1, which can be done from the .deb file here.

This now made ipod reappear as a device option, and after a reinstall of libgpod4 with sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgpod4 my ability to sync with ctrl+s was restored.

I also found that to enable the system tray icon for gpodder on Ubuntu 13.10 I need to manually install appindicator by sudo apt-get install python-appindicator.

Finally, gpodder --verbose also gave the error No module named eyed3 on my system, this can be resolved by changing eyed3.mp3 to eyeD3.mp3 everywhere in
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gpodder/sync.py.

Now gpodder luanches without error and I can sync my ipod again!

The only thing that seems to be missing is the ability to right-click and sync a single podcast to ipod.
