Archos-Sync is a little project I started to sync my archos media player with Miro but it should work with any directory that has videos in it.

What's it able to do?

  • Detect if the filetype is playable on the device
    • mplayer is needed for this
    • full support for the DVD and Podcast plugins to come later
  • Keep the device in sync with the Miro downloads directory
    • Also, you can do a one way sync (just copy new files or just delete old files)
  • Did I mention the cool copy file progress bar? ;)

What's planned for future releases

  • Convert file to something supported by your device (using mencoder)
    • This would be especially useful for youtube videos
  • PyGTK gui
