I’m having a problem where if I use the web UI to edit my firefly 1696 configuration, like scan interval or password, the item changed sometimes gets a couple of extra random characters added that corrupts the file. For example, I changed my password the other day and then couldn’t get logged back in. I loaded the mt-daapd.conf file in a text editor and saw that there were extra random characters added to the end of my password. I had to edit the file manually to fix it and then restart firefly to make the change take affect. The same thing happened tonight when I changed “Always Scan” from no to yes. It said it saved the change, but then when I reloaded the configuration page to make sure it stuck, all entries were blank. When I loaded mt-daapd.conf manually, I saw that the value of “always_scan” was “1e_” plus some other random characters not on the keyboard. I fixed it and restarted firefly and it ran fine after that.
Would it be because firefly runs on a Ubuntu box and I usually use a WinXP laptop to make these changes through its browser?
