| Summary | 0003436: Show only supported formats in device configuration dialog | ||||
| Description | Currently, if user wants to configure audio file formats for a device, we show all formats supported by MM. This approach makes sense for devices where we don't know which formats are supported, but it doesn't make sense e.g. for iPod - it won't ever play FLAC or MPC formats (except for Rockboxed device, which would need another plug-in anyway). So I'd suggest to show only extenstion supported by MM _and_ supported by the device. | ||||

Assigning to Rusty for feedback. |

1) For the iPod, seems to make sense 2) for MTP devices, I'd be reluctant since we know that the device may not register supported formats correctly |
|
|
Comment 2) makes sense, but on the other hand, I don't think that such device exists - as far as I know, if device doesn't report e.g. OGG as a supported format, it doesn't help if MM synchronizes it, the WMDM and driver layers can't handle this situation correctly. The only case where I know it's necessary to let user select from all formats is in case when the device doesn't report any supported format (like ordinary USB sticks, etc.). |

Re. 2) Truth is, I'm not certain but my recollection is that we originally implemented the 'supported formats' configurability _in_order_ to support OGG on some iRiver devices. But you may be right that this was specifically for USB MS devices using the wmdm plugin, in which case we can implement this. |

Decreasing priority - although it's definitely a good idea, it should be more tested in order to be sure it doesn't do any harm. |
