Kino supports (at least) two different jogshuttle input devices. The most commonly used by the kino developers is the "Contour ShuttlePro", but the "Sony PCDA-J1/A USB Jog Shuttle" controller has also been known to work at some point. Both are USB units. As of kino version 0.6.2, the default method of supporting jogshuttles have been through the Linux kernel HID driver. Before that, a custom driver distributed with kino was used. It is suspected that this breaks support for the Sony controller - at the end of this document information about the custom driver is included. Benefits of using the HID driver includes easy loading with hotplug (most distributions will load the necessary driver when you plug in the controller - you may have to "modprobe evdev" in some cases). Also, any controller supported by the Linux HID driver should work with kino. (Preference mapping untested for other controllers than the Contour Shuttle Pro). If you use Kino succesfully with a device other than the Contour Shuttle Pro, please let the kino developers know what device and what your experience was by mailing the Kino developer list on Kino-dev@lists.sourceforge.net Information about the custom driver Tomoaki Hayasaka <hayasakas@postman.riken.go.jp> has added support for the Sony PCDA-J1/A USB Jog Shuttle controller. Go to his page at http://hellfire.riken.go.jp/~hayasaka/sonyjog/ for more information. You need to compile the supplied sonyjog.c yourself as a kernel module and load it. Use Makefile.jog and read the instructions at the top. Following Tomoaki's lead, Dan Dennedy purchased the popular ShuttlePro and made a variation of the sonyjog driver called shuttlepro. Currently, the ShuttlePro jog wheel, shuttle ring work, and the center button immediately above the jog wheel starts playback at 1X speed. You will need to edit the src/jogshuttle.h file - simply remove the line #define USE_HID_JOGSHUTTLE this will let kino try to use the custom driver (you still need to load it manually, etc).
