Bug Description

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a libgpod bug, but it happens with both Banshee & gtkpod, so...

The issue is that with either of the above programs I can successfully sync my ipod. However, podcasts show up in the main music library, not the podcast library, in the iPod. When I disconnect the iPod and connect it again, both programs show an empty podcast sections and the podcast files show up (as in the ipod) in the main music library.

I'm using an updated version of libgpod (0.7.94) from the banshee-daily PPA, but I tried to downgrade to the version available in lucid (0.7.93) and got the same results with gtkpod.

Thanks.

You may think that iPods are simple music files with the genere "Podcast". Well... bad news
Apple doesn't give access to the Podcast Library to third party apps.
Even inside the device it is impossible to see the podcasts loaded.

Sorry, Jorge, but this has worked for a long time (with gtkpod, with gpodder, and with banshee),, and it is clearly a regression.

I can confirm, this is a regression: I have an Ipod Touch 3rd gen and everything worked correctly in Lucid Lynx.

Changed in libgpod (Ubuntu):
