error broken pipe

[Anonymous]

I just recently updated my ubuntu box to jaunty 9.04. since then firefly will no longer stream flac files to my itunes which is did fine before transcoding them to WAV files.

Here is what the log file says when i click on a FLAC file in the firefly shared library:
2009-08-15 20:15:27 (87e77046): Session 0: Streaming file ’01.Toog–Le_Judgement.flac’ to 192.168.1.4 (offset 0)
2009-08-15 20:15:28 (87e77046): Write error: Broken pipe

and here is what i get when i click an mp3 file in the same way:
2009-08-15 20:16:02 (87e77046): Session 0: Streaming file ’01.Toog–Le_Judgement.mp3′ to 192.168.1.4 (offset 0)
2009-08-15 20:17:59 (87e77046): Session 0: Streaming file ’02.Toog–Jonas.mp3′ to 192.168.1.4 (offset 0)
2009-08-15 20:19:57 (87e77046): Session 0: Streaming file ’03.Toog–Xterm.mp3′ to 192.168.1.4 (offset 0)

i can run flac -d on the command line and decode the file just fine. so I know flac is installed and working. what else should i look into to assess this problem ?

thank you for your time

Try raising your debuglevel up to 9 in the webadmin config.
Also, you could try to google the following: “Write error: Broken pipe” site:forums.fireflymediaserver.org
As the forums’ search button is broken, that should give you some results which might be useful.

the flac file isnt being transcoded.
Check your config to make sure flac files are being transcoded.
