[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#692134: gtkpod:13918): WARNING **: Error parsing recent playcounts

[Brent S. Elmer]

Package: gtkpod
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: normal

I have a 1st generation ipod shuffle(x9725).  gtkpod gives the following error
when trying to load the ipod:

** (gtkpod:13918): WARNING **: Error parsing recent playcounts

The ipod fails to load.
I have found that if I rename or move the file iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesStats
gtkpod
will load the ipod.  However, eventually, the file will come back and
start giving the error again.  I'm not sure if it is gtkpod that creates
that file or just using the ipod creates the file.   However it is
created, gtkpod doesn't like it.  I would guess the problem is something
unique to the version of the shuffle I have.  The iTunesStats file is
some binary blob of course so I can't look at it to see what is in it.
