Its primary role is to be run as a callout by HAL [1] because root +access is needed to scan the device for required information. When the model +information is discovered, it is merged into HAL as properties for other +applications to use. + +With PodSleuth installed, applications can expect to have rich iPod (TM) +metadata merged into the device tree on the iPod data volume node. PodSleuth +metadata properties are in the org.banshee-project.podsleuth namespace. + +PodSleuth is based on lessons learned from the old libipoddevice [2] project. +It is a cumulation of 2 years of research, backwards and forwards device +compatibility, and extensive device coverage and user testing. It deprecates +the libipoddevice project in use and simplifies information access for +top level applications. +EOF |
