iPlay testers needed

[kem]

iPlay is a rockbox plugin that will read the iTunesDB file and let you select one of your playlists to play. This lets you use iTunes to sync your music and gives you access to that music through your iTunes playlists! For example, I use it when I want to play an album or playlist gapless.

I need some testers to try it out on different versions of iPods before I submit a new patch. I will send testers "rockbox.ipod" and "iPlay.rock" files built for their iPod version. You'll need to reboot and <select> the iPlay.rock file. It should come up with a list of your iTunes playlists. You can then select one and it should start playing and return you to rockbox file view. Press <play> to go to the wps view.

If you agree to be a tester, I may need to get a copy of your iTunesDB file if you have any problems.

Please PM me with your iPod version and e-mail address and I'll send you the two files that you'll need to try this out.

Thanks for your help,
kem

Out of curiosity, why haven't you updated the patch on the tracker?

[linuxstb]

I'ld be happy to test if you post the source. 

Don't worry if it's still a work in progress - just update your patch on the patch tracker, and then update it again in the future.

So you can't browse the whole database, just playlists?

Okay, I updated the patch. You'll find the source in the third comment. Thanks for taking a look at this!

I wanted to get my feet wet first. I don't think it will be hard to access artists and albums. I chose playlists first, because I'm very playlist-centric.

Which version of the iTunes DB is this going to support kem?

I was wondering if this plugin is part of rockbox, or do I need to install it manually?

[JoshPowell]

Its not a part of rockbox yet.

However, it will be if the patch he submitted ( http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/4771 ) is added to CVS.

Cool, thanks for the answer. How do I know if the patch has been added?

[Llorean]

Look at the changelog. It'll be mentioned in it if it's ever added.
