Amarok 2 from the standard (non-testing) Fedora repo does not support any media player, including ipods, in any shape or form. I don't mean the support doesn't work, I mean it isn't physically there.
What does it link these in for then? libgpod.so.3()(64bit) libmtp.so.8()(64bit)
$ ldd /usr/bin/amarok|egrep gpod|mtp $
Try again with
libamarok_collection-ipodcollection.so libamarok_collection-mtpcollection.so
What do you mean? The /usr/bin/amarok binary contains no library references to anything with gpod, or ipod, or mtp in its name. Once more with feeling:
$ ldd /usr/bin/amarok|egrep gpod|ipod|mtp $ rpm -q amarok amarok-2.0-2.fc10.x86_64 $ rpm -ql amarok|egrep gpod|ipod|mtp /usr/lib64/kde4/libamarok_collection-ipodcollection.so /usr/lib64/kde4/libamarok_collection-mtpcollection.so /usr/share/kde4/services/amarok_collection-ipodcollection.desktop /usr/share/kde4/services/amarok_collection-mtpcollection.desktop $
IOW the package does contain this stuff, but the executable doesn't refer to it. Furthermore, there is no apparent way of loading plugins that I can see after extensive and careful perusal of the interface, including the Configuration dialogue.
Attempting to read the online help gives a window with: There is no documentation available for /amarok/index.html.
The main GUI window has 4 vertical tabs on the left: * Collection * Internet * Playlists * Files
In Amarok 1.x there was also a tab for external media. That no longer exists.
