"Failed to Start Firefly Media Server"

[Anonymous]

Please help!!

I have had My Roku M1001 soundbridge for about a year… and it’s performance has been spotty at best. (lots of reboots, dropping the link, etc)

But just recently, my Firefly Media Server has been shutting down unexpectedly… with the orange logo turning red.

So, I thought I should uninstall and reinstall… so I uninstalled both Bonjour for Windows and Firefly for Windows… reinstalled them both, and now it won’t even start!! (I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling about 4 times now.)

Here is my info:

1) software version: 3.0.44
2) ROKU Soundbridge M1001 (about one year old)
3) I have a 10-month old Dell Dimension 9200 running Windows XP
4) I use a Linksys “Wireless-G” 2.4 GHz 802.11g router
5) I just downloaded the most recent version of iTunes
6) When I try to start the server, I get the following pop-up: “Failed to start Firefly Media Server”
7) I CAN NOT connect with the Web Interface.

When I click on “Debug Mode”, all I see is a split second view of the “Debug Window”, then it vanishes!

Here is the log:

hi clarky,

did you upgrade from an previous version of firefly? if so, try to delete the songs3.db an restart. Ron did some changes on the database. maybe this helps.

Thanks for replying Osik. I don’t know if the Firefly I recently downloaded is a new version. The original version was downloaded over 10 months ago, so maybe it is a new version???

As for “deleting the songs3.db”… I apologize, but I’m not sure how to do that… (and also not sure what that even means!)

If you could help me out again with more advice, I’d really appreciate it!
