It seems to be buggy if you don’t have any playlists. I will look into this.

Is your collection purely flac? I ask since you mention transcoding. FirePlay only supports mp3:s.

Yes…. It was my fault. The files I copied over to test were wma’s. It was having trouble with them. Once I copied over some mp3’s it streamed over the internet just fine.

Thanks

No problem! Glad it worked out. Regarding the first error you encounted, I just got that behaviour myself last night. It happens when FireFly tries to connect to a playlist that doesn’t exist. I’ll have to double check if the playlist cookie really points to an existing playlist.

I’ve apparently done something wrong while installing FirePlay. When I go to http://ipaddress:3689/FirePlay.html, I get a password prompt and then a 404 error “mt-daapd: svn-1586, Error: No such file or directory”. The path on my Mybook is “/opt/mt-daapd-svn-1586/admin-root/” which contains all the Firefly admin files. Any reason why that should be causing a problem?

Can you stream music at all? Try http://ipadress:3689/rsp/stream/1.mp3 and see if it starts streaming.

You’re on a Mac, right? I don’t know if the html is correct for Mac. Try accessing the swf directly, using http://ipadress:3689/FirePlay.swf

You will loose the resize functionality, but as a test it would be very informative.

I have no playlists – is that my problem!?

The 404 file not found error I had is fixed. Firefly is running on a WD Mybook and I was trying to access it from a PC. I searched the Mybook to see if I maybe had mt-daapd in two different places, and found I had a similar path in the /usr/local/ path. When I moved your files to there, it loads and streams just if I access it locally at 192.168.1.x, but when I try to do it from my dyndns.org address outside the local network, I get the player screen, but no music gets loaded and IE7 locks once the spinner quits spinning.

Hi.

First of all, thanks for the awesome work, FirePlay rocks!!!

Second. I hadn’t updated since 0.6.3 i think, I installed the latest version and it locks up my browser, be it epiphany or firefox under ubuntu 7.10

After scanning the rest of this thread, I see that my problem where the player loads, but the genre/artist/album lists don’t populate, has been reported previously. However, I only see the problem from outside the LAN. Inside the LAN, the lists populate just fine. Per one of the suggestions earlier, I added a playlist to the library and now the lists populate when connected from outside the LAN and stream properly.

BTW, a volume control would be a welcome addition to the player.

This is gonna be a fun app. Thanks!

I’m gonna check to see what the playlist bug might be. The volume control on the other hand…He who seeks shall find…

Sheesh, that’s embarrassing. How did I miss that slider. As my grandfather used to say, “if it was a snake it woulda bit me.”

Hehe. Snake or not, I guess you found it.

It’s been a while since I last upped a version, but with two kids and a house it’s difficult to find the time. I’m currently retiling my basement floors, to make it more useful. Some small improvements like rollover tooltips already exists in the 0.85 version (not upped yet).
