Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal-info

The Samsung YP-S2 doesn't get recognised as digital audio player.

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

hal-info:
  Installiert: 20081124-0ubuntu1~intrepid

I have created a little patch so that the YP-S2 gets recognised as DAP.

I hope I did everything right, I was not sure about this line
<append key="portable_audio_player.input_formats" type="strlist">audio/x-wav</append>
I couldn't understand for what it should be good, as it seems many players have it but for me it doesn't make sense.
So I haven't copied it for the YP-S2.

File Format Supported MP3, WMA, OGG

I have tested this patch with Rhythmbox and Banshee, as far as I can tell everything seems to work like it should.

Description of problem:
The Samsung YP-S2 player is classed as removable hard drive rather than a digital audio player. This means it isn't recognised by Rhythmbox et al as an audio device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.5.12-14.20081027git.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Consistent

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug player into USB
2. Player is automounted
3. Properties show it as a removable hard drive - doesn't show as a device on Rythmbox

Actual results:

Expected results:

Have you tried with the latest hal package in Fedora 10, Fedora 11 or tried Rawhide? In either case, can you let us know whether the issue is still happening, and give the current version of the HAL packages you're using?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
