FirePlay Flash client for FireFly

[Bo Mellberg]

Does it work like expected from within your network? I didn’t realise this was an “external connectivity” problem until just now.

How come you wanna open your server for public streaming (and downloading of your mp3s)?

And, I can assure you, that if you can access your server from the internet, it has an ip-address.

Your problem is that when FirePlay asks for info, for example your Music Servers name, there needs to be a “crossdomain.xml”-file at the xml-serving end. Now, unfortunately, everything that resides in the “admin-root” directory has first to be authenticated before it can be accessed. Since there is no such mechanism in Flash, the xml-requests goes unanswered, unless you first authenticate yourself to your admin-root.

Try this:

1. Using your current setup, to go to “www.yourserver.com:3689/admin-root”
2. There should be a dialog. Authenticate yourself.
3. Now, in the same browser window, go to “fireplay.yourserver.com” and see if it works.

If the above works, I’m afraid I have no solution for you.

Hi,

I tried the following:

Try this:

1. Using your current setup, to go to “www.yourserver.com:3689/admin-root”
2. There should be a dialog. Authenticate yourself.
3. Now, in the same browser window, go to “fireplay.yourserver.com” and see if it works.

If the above works, I’m afraid I have no solution for you.

I had to enter user and pw after doing step 1.
(after authentication, the page could not be found; it can only be found without “/admin-root” in the URL)
I did step 3, and the connection problem was still there …

Just to make sure, that the syntax is right – in FirePlay.html (in “fireplay.yourserver.com”)I address the server like this:

‘FirePlay?host=hostname.homelinux.orgport=3689preventdownload=0’,

Not quite right, it should look like this:

FirePlay.swf?host=hostname.homelinux.org&port=3689&preventdownload=0

You seem to have lost the ampersand (&) and the “.swf”

I have firefly1586 set up on a Windows home server box. After coping over the 0.87 to my firefly admin-root and loading up fireplay.html all I get is a white page. Right clicking shows there is a blank flash player 9.

I have tried this from inside and out of the firefly built in web server.

I should see the interface even if I missed configured the server correct?
Ideals for trouble shooting?

Update:

Got it working; i hade to edit the line:
‘movie’, ‘FirePlay.swf?host=&port=&preventdownload=0’,
to
‘movie’, ‘FirePlay?host=&port=&preventdownload=0’,

Thanks for that info. I thought I had forgot the .swf but it turns out it shouldn’t be included on that line at all.

Hi and sorry my English is bad,

how to protect http://server:port/fireplay/*.* with .htaccess ?
on a synology DS107

Fireplay accept onyl buildin htaccess ?
how to modify ?

i have an .htaccess in my fireplay path and my passwd is in /web share ^^
on my DS107 -> wiki howto synology
http://www.synology.com/enu/support/help-page.php?q_id=347
point 7 on this howto is my Fireplay path -> /opt/share/…/admin-root/fireplay/

thx

You are right. The admin-root folder (and thus every folder you put inside it) is protected by the password set in the firefly config file.

To be able to use .htaccess, you must run another http-server like Apache. You have to place your FirePlay-files somewhere else.

ok i have copy all Fireplay files on my apache htdocs path apache prompts me for a username and pass (my own ^^) but no connect to the firefly medialibrary

in fireplay.html host and port are given

host = DS107 ip where firefly is running
port = my port given in mt-daapd.config

but no connect wenn fireplay files in my apache web

pleas help me 🙂

thx

[Bo Mellberg]

Is the Apache and the FireFly running on the same physical server?

You might need crossdomain.xml inside your admin-root folder:

http://www.mellberg.org/crossdomain.xml <- Right-click and save as… Give it appropriate rights.

yes Firefly and Apache on the same Server but Apache runs on port 81 while port 80 is other apache on my Network 🙂

is it possible to copy and run FirePlay to my port80 apache (other server xampp) -> this is the same no connect to the Firefly medialib

thx

Server 1 xampp -> 192.168.1.222:80 /web/firefly/fireplay.html
Server 2 syno -> 192.168.1.250:81 /volume1/web/firefly/fireplay.html

the host and port in this html is

in the browser http://192.168.1.250:81/firefly/FirePlay.html
the userlogin popups (my onw^^)
and now i see Connecting to http://192.168.1.250:81 over the statusbar (???)

the same with http://192.168.1.222/firefly/FirePlay.html -> connecting to … permanent

only thats work is i give the browser the SWF file directly with host and port

http://192.168.1.250:81/firefly/FirePlay.swf?host=192.168.1.250&port=3689 -> works
http://192.168.1.222/firefly/FirePlay.swf?host=192.168.1.250&port=3689 ->dont works (browser prompts to the admin user and pass “webserver” – not my own user and pass)

the perfect way is for me to run firefly on 192.168.1.250 and the FirePlay frontend on my xampp server 192.168.1.222 🙂

ok this is my setup your xml file is in the admin-root and the permission is changed
