Insignia (NS-DV4G) and Linux

[Tyler Aviss]

Responding to myself here:

Grabbed the CVS for libmtp and compiling that from source, as well as
a source install of amarok. Looks like between the two of them they
now manage to detect the insignia player and manage songs/playlists.

I also added the following udev rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/libmtp.rules ...
#Insignia NS-DV4G
SYSFS{idVendor}=="19ff", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0303",
SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio"


If anyone else happens to have this player, I hope this might be useful to them.
