Arch Linux User Repository

@blp92 Haha upstream hasn't updated in 5 years and they're ignoring my questions. I'm considering bringing the repo to GitHub and trying to fix some of the many issues. Stay tuned. In the meantime I hate to say this but try spinning up a Windows VM and installing iTunes there :/

@Raymo111 any luck with this? I lost my music collection when my computer died and now my iPod is the only place that has all of the files. I can't find a way to import on Manjaro yet. Strawberry seems like a great player but it doesn't have the functionality. I get the same error as @JohnRobson when I try to install via yay, have yet to try makepkg -si but I doubt I will if you get the same error

@Rhinoceros Haha I see. I guess I'll pick it up and see what I can do. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@Raymo111 That looks like a new issue, which I can replicate. I'm not sure what the solution is though! make works fine, so it's not a makepkg.conf error. I'm guessing that one of the dependencies no longer work well with it, so you could try reverting (e.g.) intltool to an earlier version. I don't actually use this package anymore, so I'm going to disown it. Upstream hasn't updated for five years, so you might find it hard to get assistance from there.

@Rhinoceros can confirm that makepkg -si also fails

@JohnRobson Are you using yay? What happens if you manually build with makepkg as recommended?

Thanks @terrick. I've updated the URL. I don't think I've ever tried syncing playlists, but yeah, the whole project seems pretty dead!

The link to the "Upstream URL" is dead, but there is also this other page which still works:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkpod/

As other comments mentioned, it seems pretty dead. The wiki on that page is useless, but there is a mailing list that might be helpful. gtkpod also has a useful manual under "Help" in the menu bar.

I wanted to use gtkpod to sync some playlists to an old iPod, since some of the feature seemed good, but in the end I couldn't get it working and decided to use clementine instead which "just works".

@madmalkav Yes, this project looks pretty dead unfortunately! Couldn't you just use something like ffmpeg for that? e.g. https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/415478
