FirePlay Flash client for FireFly

[Anonymous]

*** Sorry all, I fixed the zip files, should be accessible now.

And – Yes, I CAN use Fireplay local, CANT use it remote, and CAN use the Java applet local AND remote.

– – – 8< – – –

First, lemme say I *love* FirePlay–I just wanna be able to love it from work, lol.

I have gone through the other posts, and nothing seems to help me with figuring out why I can only get FirePlay to work within my network at home. Trying to stream music from work just gives a “Connecting to: http://209.181.138.228:256&#8230; message forever.

I’ve included links to a screen shot and my files for examples:
http://209.181.138.228/fireplay.jpg – Screen shot.
http://209.181.138.228/fireplay.zip – My fireplay.html file.
http://209.181.138.228/mt-daapd.zip – My mt-daapd.conf file.

To clarify though, I *can* play music from work via the applet.html Java page that’s still included with FireFly on both ports 256 and 512, as well as with another (I realize totally different) streaming server Edna (again on ports 256 and 512, it plays at work no problem).

So I am hoping someone will be able to look at this stuff and point out whatever I’m missing.

To sum up,
iTunes can see the share just fine and plays great! I can navigate to the mt-daapd/admin-root/ through any browser just fine from any machine.

I have altered FirePlay.html to look for hosts localhost (when using the machine FireFly is running on [Fedora 8 x86]), hostname and local ip 192.168.x.x (for local machine and 3 others in the house.), and external ip 24.x.x.x (for local, machine in house and at work). All yield the same Connecting to http://{insert your choice}:3689 hang.

I am using FireFly 0.2.4.1 and FirePlay v0.85. I have even turned the firewall on the fedora box completely off. Still nothing. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Am I missing some key package? Thanks for any help.

One more thing. I installed the fc9 rpm for this at rpmfind.net I noticed opening in Safari gives an error. I am missing rsp/info? I installed using the software installer and i didn’t give any options. I don’t have rsp in the admin-root directory. Is this the issue? How can I fix? thanks.

bloddy great program.

want to make access public however using the installation in the /usr/share/mt-daapd/www-root method then asks for password every time, also giving access to server admin.

moving to /var/www then wont connect as path hasn’t been connected to via 3689
cant find a way to edit files to tell it to go through 3689. lost.

You should be able to edit FirePlay.html to do this. In three spots, edit the file to “host=www.yourserver.com&port=3689”

If you want to, protect the directory using an ordinary .htaccess-file (assuming apache server).

Hi,

I have the same problem like some others here.

I can not connect to my firefly server with your flash applet.

I see the GUI and on top, above the timeline, is written: “Connecting to 192.168.100.2:3689” but nothing happens.

I can access the server from iTunes and the music plays well.

Any idea what I can do?

Ok, maybe I have found out something.

I tried that stand alone java firefly client.

When I connect to my server it accepts my password but than gives me a 404 not found error.

Possibly fireplay fails because of this.

Can you help me to find out why this is? iTunes has no problems with accessing the firefly server

Maybe there is a problem with rsp (Roku Server Protocol). Both FirePlay and the Fireflyclient (java) uses rsp. Itunes uses the DAAP-protocol.

If you browse to http://www.yourserver.com:3689/index.html what does it say under “RSP”?

Mine looks like this:

Yes, that was the bug.

Hi,

I run the old .0.2.3 Version of mt-daapd on OpenSlug 3.1.
Up to now I use “Get it together” to connect to the slug. Works fine.

Wanted to try out your embedded player. The gui starts fine but then it says “connecting to http://192.168.178.10:3689&#8221; but the songs do not come up …

Could it be that FirePlay does not support this rather old release of mt-daapd (Firefly)?

I cannot use a new version of firefly because they do not run under OpenSlug. Besides streaming music my slug does some more jobs and I do not want to set everything new from scratch with a different OS now…
