Newbie question about using firefly on Maxtor mss+

Hello,

Looking at the various treads I think this has been solved.

I want to stream music (flac) from my NAS Maxtor MSS(2.6.2-openmss1-rc2) + to my Roku M1000.

I have looked at twonkymedia and (from various comments in their forum) it appears that there are problems transcoding flac files on a nas (not enough processing power) using their flac plug-in.

The Firefly community seems to have solved this problem though as a green newbie it is not clear how.

Can someone please describe in clear steps the processes required to get firefly installed and working transcoding flac. Assume correctly my very limited knowledge of UNIX.

I’ve started a wiki to try and build a manual for firefly. The first page is now the “Installing Firefly on the MSS” page. It’s kind of terse, but here’s a walkthrough:

It’s really a “fattened up” version of this post: http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=5102

I (hope to) have exactly the same setup, streaming via a Linksys WRT54GS AP and have followed the details on the wiki (at least one of the three attempts must have been correct ‘:)’).

Everything goes swimmingly until I try to execute /opt/etc/init.d/S60Mt-daapd at which point I get /opt/lib/ld.so.1: not found.

Following some of the other thread I tried the following:

# /opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -d9 -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -f
with a result
/opt/lib/ld.so.1: not found

I had a hunt around and found ld.so.1 to the /lib directory so tried

# /lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -d9 -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -f
and this time got

I’m not sure whether this is something missing, a version mismatch or just me being dumb!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yes, installed mss-libhelper without problem.

BTW/ version svn-1433 was the version installed (maybe I just missed 1441)

Okay, I telnet into the device and started entering the commands. Well, the first line – cat src nslu2 …. I get a file not found error. 😕

Use my browser to check the link I went to http://ipkg-us-dyoung.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mss/cross/unstable/ and I see a list of files. I also checked the post you mentioned where a lot of this came through and couldn’t see a similar command. What am I missing here. I did try it twice checking my syntax!

Well I’m going to hang around! Back to the instructions…

Thanks
