If you check out the link…this guy managed to hook up his PSP to his iPod using the iPod photo connector. ‘It sees the PSP but not the photos. More experiments are needed.’

Does this change things?

Also, last I checked, ipodlinux firewire host only worked on 3G iPods. The newer iPods use a different chip.

modprobe sbp2
mount -t vfat -o ro /dev/sda2 /mnt

to mount the 2G ipod to /mnt
yes, that mounts it read only, because you wouldnt want to corrupt any data, but if you really want to throw caution into the wind, simple remove the -o ro and you could write as well.

Anyways, maybe some leet homebrew PSP developer could whip up some code to do somethign similar with USB. If onyl I had a PSP….

the pin problem you were having on auctionmapper was definitely a bug. something we had missed by not going down that exact search sequence recently.

anyway, I believe it’s fixed now.

thanks again for pointing it out!

Got your post to the auctionmapper forum and will communicate with you from there.

We’ll get this corrected as quickly as possible.

Thanks for posting the example for us to use!

Really appreciate you taking the time to clarify Flash/ShockWave polling the devices. Don’t want people worried that they’re being filmed while searching eBay!

Thanks also for the kind comment!

when i clear the pins it works great but when i choose another catagory and locate another item it puts the pin back from when i had the first item that i located

example — i looked up a mini itx computer board it found one in austin texas i cleared the pins and did a search for 10″ lcd i found one i wanted by expanding the the thumbnail info window checked the item i wanted and clicked the (search for checked items) and it went back to the mini itx board in austin texas — it did that in multiple items

hope this helps ill copy this to your forums

Grey and Gary, Flash and Shockwave have a tendency to poll for video devices by default. There are settings you can change to disable this function but a lot of people don’t pay much attention to them because when they’re creating apps if it doesn’t have anything to do with a client’s video capabilities they’re not going to look at that part of their SDK. A user of the app can disable access to their video devices if they right click in a running flash app and select options.

Grey, you’re absolutely right about the posibilities for nefariousnous… If you’re not sure about what you’re using online you should always check to make sure you’re not broadcasting blind. I don’t think Gary’s AuctionMapper app is doing anything bad, though. It is pretty damn awesome if you ask me!

Thanks for kind words about AuctionMapper and for alerting us to the problem with the pins.

If you can elaborate on the problem either here or on our forum, I’ll be glad to see what we can do to make things work better. Are you saying that when you hit the “clear pins” button, the pins from your previous search are not cleared?

We don’t clear the pins from one search to another automatically so that people can place multiple search results on the map.

I guess we should have put “beta” on the site because we’re hoping to get comments like yours and improve the tool based upon feedback.

Thanks!

real cool though i have it bookmarked!!

Thanks for the comment about AuctionMapper. I’m not aware of anything we’re doing at all with webcams, polling, etc… On some searches we do hit a MochiBot robot so we can get stats on what searches people find useful (not storing any of your information at all, or search terms, just incrementing a counter). Could this be what you’re seeing?

We don’t want it to look like anything nefarious even might be happening! Just want to make searching eBay work better.

Feel free to comment or post to our forum (no login needed).

Thanks,

Gary
