| Summary | 0003928: Podcasts synced to iPod have 'Unknown Release Date' | ||||
| Description | All podcasts that are synced to an iPod have 'Unknown Release Date' as the associated date. This means that it's difficult to tell which ones are new and which are old. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Fixed in build | 1106 | ||||

Rusty, could you please give me more info, what exact you mean by "the associated date". Can I see it somewhere in my iPod nano or do you just mean the situation that not all podcasts have appended the date in its title ?? |
|

Ludek, on the iPod Nano 3G, each podcast is displayed as follows: <Episode Title> 'Unknown release date' iPod Nano 2G doesn't show this. From what I see, podcasts correctly display the 'Date' field in MM (in the podcast node, at least), so I expect that the problem is more related to the sync plugin. |

|
Fixed in build 1106, but I cannot test on my iPod Nano 2G. Assigned to Jiri to review my commit and to test my work on an iPod which supports the release date. |
|
|
Ohh, I've just noticed that the date is presented also on my iPod 2G, but the only difference seems to be that the 'Unknown release date' string is not presented if the date is unknown. So it is fixed in build 1106. |

|
Reopenning to fix IntegerDate2DateTime() function so that it doesn't depend on locale-specific strings. |
|
|
Improved the IntegerDate2DateTime() function in build 1106. |

Tested in 1108 and it seems to work correctly. There's only one problem, which may or may not actually be a problem: If the user has previously synced Podcasts with MM (e.g. CNN News), then MM created podcasts: CNN News Update (1 episode) --CNN News Update xxxx --Unknown Release Date If the user then syncs with MM3.0.0.1108, then the iPod thinks that 2 different podcasts exist, and duplicates episode content between the 2 podcasts, but incorrectly identifies the number of episodes. e.g. 1) CNN News Update (1 episode) --CNN News Update xxxx --Unknown Release Date --CNN News Update xxxx --Nov 25, 2005 --CNN News Update xxxx --Nov 24, 2005 2) CNN News Update (2 episode) --CNN News Update xxxx --Nov 25, 2005 --CNN News Update xxxx --Nov 24, 2005 --CNN News Update xxxx --Unknown Release Date This may not be a bug (i.e. it might just simply be an artifact related to 3.0 builds previous to 1106) however, I just wanted to ask for your feedback to confirm that this is the case. |

Yes, I see, as you wrote, it seems to be just an inconsistency between 1108 and the earlier builds. Deleting the episodes with 'Unknown Release Date' (synched by using the earlier builds) solves the (dups) problem. |

Verified 1108. |
