I am sorry to ask this here because it is not relevant to OS X on aa1, but it did related to aa1 Here is what happen: I brought a Made in China MP4 player, it is recognized, plug and play in Windows XP, however, it is not recognized in Mac OS X 10.5.6(never recognized). I also tried to plug it into my AA1 linux version, with the original Linpus, it works! I found this in the "system profiler". It shows that the system did recognized the device, but just .... i don't know.... USB High-Speed Bus: Host Controller Location: Built In USB Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBEHCI PCI Device ID: 0x27cc PCI Revision ID: 0x0002 PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086 Bus Number: 0xfd USB Device: Product ID: 0xa4a5 Vendor ID: 0x07c4 (Datafab Systems Inc.) Version: ff.ff Serial Number: A Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec Location ID: 0xfd300000 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured) I really hope that someone can help me, any suggestions will be appreciated ! Thank you !!!!
OS X is not particularly friendly to non-Apple MP3 players ... especially those that use "plays for sure" or whatever Microsoft's latest name is for their proprietary MP3 player interface. If it works in Linpus, you might want to investigate XNJB: http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/. I was able to use that to get my Creative Labs MP3 player recognized under OS X.
It seems that it isn't working. the result are as follow: type description status Result connection connection to device error could not locate any jukebox have any idea, thanks!
FWIW I have seen two different "MP4" players on the local market, made in China, neither of which could play any MP4. Both were recognised as generic mp3 players in Windows XP, one was not seen at all in OS-X (real Mac), the other was seen as a USB generic storage device. The firmware on these devices is almost certainly designed to interface with Windows Media Player. If it works in Linpus somebody has done some work for you. Next you need to get the source code, (if you can for Linpus) and see how much hard work is involved building it for OS-X... There are a number of open source mp3 player/managers which build on OS-X, somewhat fewer m4a/aac, then getting your random player to work is as much luck as skill. Welcome to Apple's world where we know it works because they tightly control hardware and software.
