Hello,
i have some trouble with my firefly server running on a NSLU2.
This is my Setup:
1. desktop PC with Windows, on drive F:my_music all the mp3s and also itunes running
2. NSLU2 with unslung and firefly running
3. A 320GB Maxtor ontouch III with a copy of above mentioned mp3sThe firefly runs on the NSLU2 and serves the mp3s from the maxtor drive.
Access from Soundbridge is fine, no trouble.Then I copied my itunes .xml file onto the NSLU2, because I have some playlits I want to use.
The Soundbridge finds the Playlists, but they are empty. I am sure this is because of the path setup within the .xml file.
The path to the songs is something like file://localhost/F/my_music.
On the NSLU2 the mp3s are stored in the folder mp3. Windows can find them under Severname/Disk 2/mp3.Now my question: How do I have to set the path within the xml file ?
Any Idea ?Thanks a lot !

Axel ❓So you copied the whole directory try from f:my_music to \serverdisk 2mp3?
Is there a “my_music” directory under mp3?
If so, you should be able to drop the xml file there.

Yes, thats what I did.
I did this for several reasons:
– to have a backup of the mp3s
– to run the firefly on the NSLU2 without the PC running
– I use the PC as “master” and update th NSLU2 regularlyActually there is No my_music forlder, but I will try that out !
Thanks

AxelSo the contents of “my_music” got dropped into the mp3 folder?
If so, put the xml file right in the mp3 folder and see what that does.

No, it didn’t work !
I tried /mp3/xxx.xml and
/mp3/My_Music/xxx.xmlIf I connect to the NSLU2 via telnet find the mp3 folder in /public/mp3 so I tried this as well.
Did’nt work !I think I have to change the .xml file, which would be easy with a text editor, if I only knew which path to write in !
I have a similar issue. I also copy all the datea from the PC to the NSL. When I create a playlist in itunes and copy the xml to the mp3 folder on the NSL some files are visible in the playlist while others don’t.
Any idea?

The iTunes xml file is encoded in utf-8 already, so it’s not the playlist. It is completely possible that the filenames on-disk *aren’t* utf-8, the only way to fix that would be perhaps to iconv the .xml file from utf-8 to whatever your local codepage is, or whatever codepage the on-disk filenames are.
Much easier to fix your samba from the get-go to save filenames in utf-8 *before* you copy your music over, but once it’s there you can probably use a tool like:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/utf8-migration-tool
or something else to move your filenames from codepage to utf-8.
In either case, to help either of you, I need your songs.db (or songs3.db, whichever) and a copy of your iTunes Music Library.xml to help debug it.
You can zip and email them to [email protected]

I simply installed SAMBA 3 on my slug and recopied all data to it and now all is well 🙂
Thanks for your help!

Thanks in advance !
But I must wait until Tuesday, because I’m not at home these days !Axel
Also, in retrospect, check the web config and make sure you have the “process playlists” set to yes, as well as “process iTunes”.
