Hi,
just bought a Linkstation Pro as music server for my soundbridge!
Finally managed to install it (used the oh1jty’s firmware), but there are still a few problems:
1. I can get firefly running and can access the webserver BUT
I use putty.exe, ssh enabled to start firefly with
mt-daapd -c /etc/mt-daapd.conf -f
after that I can go to the webserver, but if I close putty.exe firefly stops running. No idea why?2. Bonjour status is always not running. Do I need it to run on my linkstation?
3. What do I have to insert in init.d (or where?) to get firefly autostarted on NAS reboot?
4. What else is important to get it run?
Thank you

1. Indeed. If you run firefly like that, it runs in the current SSH session. That is why you have to run “/etc/init.d/mt-daapd start” on linux so it starts as a service in the background of the system, not the SSH session.
Probably another way to fix this is by running firefly in screen (Some multi terminal program which stays running when you disconnect the SSH session)2. Indeed. I believe this is a bug, since my firefly doesnt have this either, but the server seems to be fully functional.
3. Right. “/etc/init.d/mt-daapd start” was the command i believe. If this does not happen on boot, you might try “update-rc.d mt-daapd defaults” which adds mt-daapd to the standard boot programs. Tho these are all linux commands, so I’m not sure they work in your situation.
4. um, did you edit your config file (/etc/mt-daapd.conf)? Like, path to your music, adminpass, etc.
Hope this helps,

Correct. Bug.

05/06/2007 at 5:05 AM #11054Henni100Participantthank you guys,
mt-daapd -c /etc/mt-daapd
works (even without -f command).
Now to the automatic start up:
need to edit the /etc/init.d/rcS
seems I have to create something like mt-daapd.sh to add to rcS, but I have no idea what has to be in it.
Am I right that I can’t simply add “mt-daapd -c/etc/mt-daapd.conf” (as it is the only thing I have to enter to get firefly running) to the rcS?Greetings
