Archos-Sync

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? ;)
