Hi there,
I am about to follow the Wiki for Firefly installation on MSS+ (as soon as http://www.openmss.org is up and running again so I can get the Firmware 🙁 ). I’ve had a brief look at the walkthrough and was wondering about the version of Firefly that is telnetted over and installed on the MSS – I’m running a Pinnacle Soundbridge (M1001) and couldn’t get the official Firefly version to work with it on my PC – I’ve got the nightly version 1376 running…
So, will my Pinnacle still work with the Firefly version from the Wiki on my MSS+, or will I have the same problems I had on my PC? Should I telnet a nightly over instead? If so, how (I’m no Linux programmer…)?
I thought I’d ask first before finding out later that I’d installed the wrong version on the MSS+ and had to go about uninstalling it etc…
Thanks in advance for the help,
roj.OK, I couldn’t wait any longer and went ahead with the walkthrough…
Firefly now appears to be working on the mss, and I just need to tell it where to look for my music. The only problem is, I can’t access the http://[mss]:3689 web interface config page – I get a ‘page not found’ message. I don’t really know why – even with my firewall turned off I have the problem…
Anyone have any ideas?
The only thing that occurs to me is that in the Wiki, it say you can delete 4 lines of the file that controls bonjour advertising and that you should “Find the group of lines mentioning “_tcp._daap” and delete them using the CTRL-K key. ” In the file, “_tcp._daap” wasn’t actually mentioned, but “_daap._tcp” was. The last 4 lines looked something like this:
MSS-018AB9 Music Server
_daap._tcp
none
[some number I don’t remember]I presumed these were the lines that were meant and that it was just a typo in the Wiki so I deleted these. Could this be the problem – have I deleted the wrong thing?
As you can see, I don’t have much of a clue. Any help appreciated!
Thanks,

Oops! Typo. Fixed it in the wiki.
With regard to not being able to get to the web page, that sounds like the server didn’t start for some reason. Do you get any error messages when you start it?
Try this, while telnetted in:
# /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -f
It should spew out a bunch of junk and then exit. See what the last thing is it said when it exited. That might help track down what its problem is.

OK, next update: I’m still not up and running.
I still can’t access the web interface http://[mss]:3689, although I suspect that’s because I still have Firefly running on my PC, which uses the same port… Anyway, that isn’t a huge problem, I can deal with that later – in the meantime I’ve edited mt-daapd.conf with this:
mp3_dir = /Admin1/My MusicHope the syntax is right (and that it doesn’t require Server name and allows blanks…)
I think I may have found the cause of my woes though – I bought my MSS second hand and it looks like the previous owner had Twonky media running on it – my Soundbridge shows not the name I gave my server, but ‘Twonky MSS’ and this guy’s config. So he’s wiped the media files but not the config in the background.
In any case, the problem seems to be that Twonky is starting on the MSS first or taking priority over mt-daapd, or mt-daapd just isn’t starting at all. And I don’t know why. Yet. Any suggestions?
Can anyone tell me if I can format the MSS completely and start over again? This may be easiest…
Thanks Ron – not much came out though:
Firefly Version svn-1498: Starting with debuglevel 2
SIGSEVThat’s all…

Ah. Is it possible you forgot to change the line in /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd to read like this:
/opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
That kind of sounds like it might be it. If that isn’t it, then try this:
# /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -f -d9
to run with a higher debug level.

Er – no, I did that. However, that line of the file now has ‘sleep 2’ in front of it for some reason. It now reads:
sleep 2 /opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c
/opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
That can’t be right, can it? I don’t remember it being like that…

Nope, should be
sleep 2
/opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
What do you get with the -d9 from the foreground?

Right, will sort that.

Oh. Yeah. Duh. try:

Sorry. My bad.
