Does anyone have a guide to get firefly media server installed onto a jailbroken v2 firmware 1st gen iphone? If it’s possible?
I found this invaluable to share music at mates houses and I hope there is a V2 firmware version of it floating around somewhere!
Thanks!

20/08/2008 at 7:57 PM #17489tim-dawgParticipantDoes anybody know if there are plans to make a plugin for firefly that will co-exist with simplifymedia and support streaming to iTunes clients via the net without having to make a VPN, etc…
Their system is awesome but running two media servers simultaneously bogs my system down.

- SSH to your iPhone as root and create an /etc/mt-daapd.conf file:
#
# mt-daapd.conf
#
# Edited: Fri Sep 19 14:53:31 2008
# By: root
#
web_root /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port 3689
admin_pw alpine
mp3_dir /private/var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music
servername My iPhone
runas mobile
playlist /etc/mt-daapd.playlist
extensions .mp3,.m4a,.m4p
db_dir /private/var/cache/mt-daapd
rescan_interval 300
scan_type 2
always_scan 1
logfile /var/log/mt-daapd.log
process_m3u 1
compress 1I recommend changing the admin password.
- Create a /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.fireflymediaserver.mt-daapd.plist file
Label
org.fireflymediaserver.mt-daapd.plist
Program
/usr/sbin/mt-daapd
ProgramArguments
/usr/sbin/mt-daapd
- Register your new /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.fireflymediaserver.mt-daapd.plist file with launchctl:
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.fireflymediaserver.mt-daapd.plist
- Add a BossPrefs custom service to start and stop the server
Name: FireFly
Start: launchctl start org.fireflymediaserver.mt-daapd.plist
Stop: killall mt-daapd
Process: /usr/sbin/mt-daapd
Icon: /Applications/BossPrefs.app/firefly.png - Enjoy your music

FireFly won’t stay on in Boss Prefs. It stops every time I leave the Boss Prefs screen. For that matter, it doesn’t auto-start either. (Basically I have not been able to get it to work at all.) There are also TWO FireFly controls listed in Boss Prefs – even though I only added ONE.
I copied and pasted the conf and plist directly from your post. Are there permissions chmod/chown that need to be set?
Doesn’t start from command line either – indicating that I’ve done something wrong. While I try to figure out what it is, can you suggest places to look?

Typing error. I’m in and happily streaming away!
