iPod claims to be empty after editing

[daniel-barrows]

I used Rhythmbox 3.4.1-2ubuntu1 with libgpod4 0.8.3-8.1 to copy music files from an 3rd generation iPod nano onto my computer. I did not write any files to the iPod or intentionally modify it in any way, but when I unmounted the iPod, and tried to use it, it appears empty. I plugged it back into the computer, and can see all the files with a file browser or in Rhythmbox, but iPod itself claims to be empty and have no songs.

This bug has been reported in the Rhythmbox bug tracker, but I suspect the underlying problem is in libgpod.

I am now confirming the problem is in libgpod

Through some testing I have found that an assert fails during database write (using itdb_write).
The actual failure:

itdb_splr_validate: assertion 'at != ITDB_SPLAT_UNKOWN' failed

Originates here:

libgpod/src/itdb_playlist.c

Line 995 in 4a8a33e

g_return_if_fail (at != ITDB_SPLAT_UNKNOWN);
