Well, I finally just got me new iPod video here in Mexico. I charged it fully and saw that MC had a new version yeaterday that had only one change - iPod photo support!!
Well, that must be a good sign I thought. I proceeded to build a few smartlists for photos, and synched. MC told me I had to initialize first, which I did. I do NOT have iTunes installed.
After the initialization, I picked my playlists, both music and photos, and started to synch. It took about 4 hours to synch it all, including about 35,000 pictures and 5,000 music files. Most if not all of the pictures are .jpg and the music is .m4a.
When it got done, I checked the iPod and found that all the music playlists are fine. However for pictures, there are no playlists. Just the option to view the 35,000 pictures in no particular order. The slideshow option does not seem to work either. I could live with this for a while if not for the following. The pictures are ALL shifted to the right about 50%. What I mean by that is that the left side of the photo is about in the middle of the screen and wraps around the screen to show the right side of the photo on the left of the screen. On top of that, they are all shifted up abotu 10 pixles or so, meaning the top of the photo (I actually think it is the top of a different photo, but I'm not sure) is across the bottom of the screen. This makes photos completely useless for me.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Is there any expectation of photo playlist support coming?
Thanks.
