how to put audios on my slug

[stretch]

If windows sees the path as “disk 2/mp3/” then on the slug it will be “/share/flash/data/public/mp3/”

Have you checked file access permissions? This will have to be done via a telnet session on the slug.

thanks for the help.
I have made a folder “Disk 2/mp3” in windows and has put one mp3-file there. After scan of firefly, the status is idle (no mp3 is found). The mt-daapd.conf is as follows:

# $Id: mt-daapd.conf,v 1.3 2005/02/15 03:35:19 rpedde Exp $

#

# This is the mt-daapd config file.

#

# If you have problems or questions with the format of this file,

# direct your questions to [email protected].

#

# You can also check the website at http://mt-daapd.sourceforge.net,

# as there is a growing documentation library there, peer-supported

# forums and possibly more.

#



[general]



#

# web_root (required)

#

# Location of the admin web pages.  If you installed from

# ipk, this is correct

#



web_root = /opt/share/mt-daapd/admin-root



#

# port (required)

#

# What port to listen on.  It is possible to use a different

# port, but this is the default iTunes port

#



port = 3689



#

# admin_pw (required)

#

# This is the password to the administrative pages

#

# YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CHANGE THIS

#



admin_pw = mt-daapd



#

# db_dir (depricated)

#

# This is where mt-daapd stores its database of song information.

#

# If you installed this from .ipk, this is correct

#



#db_dir		/opt/var/mt-daapd



#

# db_type/db_parms

#

# This specifies what kind of database you want, and where

# it should be kept.  Valid db_types depend on what databases are

# compiled in, but can include "sqlite" and "sqlite3".

#

# db_parms is the parameters for that database backend.  For sqlite and

# sqlite3, these parameters are the path to the database.

#



db_type = sqlite

db_parms = /opt/var/mt-daapd



#

# mp3_dir (required)

#

# Location of the mp3 files to share.  This corresponds

# to a folder called "mp3" in the "DISK 1" share.

#



mp3_dir = /share/flash/data/public/mp3



#

# servername

#

# This is both the name of the server as advertised

# via rendezvous, and the name of the database

# exported via DAAP

#

# defaults to the hostname if not set

#



#servername = NSLU2 Music



#

# runas (required)

#

# This is the user to drop privs to if running as

# root.  If mt-daapd is not started as root, this

# configuration option is ignored.  Notice that this

# must be specified whether the server is running

# as root or not.

#

# If you have not messed with permissions from

# the console, then this should work correctly

# without any strange chmods or anything.

#



runas = guest



#

# playlist (optional)

#

# This is the location of a playlist file.

# This is for Apple-style "Smart Playlists"

# See the mt-daapd.playlist file in the

# contrib directory for syntax and examples

#

# This doesn't control static playlists... these

# are controlled with the "process_m3u" directive

# below.

#



playlist = /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.playlist



#

# password (optional)

#

# This is the password required to listen to MP3 files

# i.e. the password that iTunes prompts for

#



#password=mp3



#

# extensions (optional)

#

# These are the file extensions that the daap server will

# try to index and serve.  By default, it only indexes and

# serves .mp3 files.  It can also server .m4a and .m4p files,

# and just about any other files, really.  Unfortunately, while

# it can *attempt* to serve other files (.ogg?), iTunes won't

# play them.  Perhaps this would be useful on Linux with

# Rhythmbox, once it understands daap.  (hurry up!)

#



extensions = .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.ogg,.flac



#

# ssc_extensions (optional)

#

# List of file extensions belonging to the files daap server

# performs internal format conversion and present to clients

# as WAV files.  Extensions must also be present in 'extensions'

# configuration value, or files are not probed in the first

# place.

#



ssc_codectypes = ogg,flac,alac



#

# ssc_prog (optional)

#

# Program that is used in server side format conversion.

# Program must accept following command line syntax:

#     ssc_prog filename offset

# Parameter filename is the real name of the file that is

# to be converted and streamed, offset is number of bytes

# that are skipped from the beginning of the _output_ file

# before streaming is started.  The resulting wav file (or

# rest of the file after initial seek) is written to the

# standard output by the ssc_prog program.  This is typically

# a script that is a front end for different conversion tools

# handling different formats.

#



ssc_prog = /opt/sbin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh



#

# logfile (optional)

#

# This is the file to log to.  If this is not configured,

# then it will log to the syslog.

#

# Not that the -d  switch will control the log verbosity.

# By default, it runs at log level 1.  Log level 9 will churn

# out scads of useless debugging information.  Values in between

# will vary the amount of logging you get.

#



#logfile = /var/log/mt-daapd.log



#

# art_filename (optional)

#

# There is experimental support thanks to Hiren Joshi

# ([email protected]) for dynamically adding art to the id3v2

# header as it is streamed (!!).  If you were using a music system

# like zina or andromeda, for example, with cover art called

# "_folderOpenImage.jpg", you could use the parameter

# art_file _folderOpenImage.jpg and if the file _folderOpenImage.jpg

# was located in the same folder as the .mp3 file, it would appear

# in iTunes.  Cool, eh?

#



#art_filename = _folderOpenImage.jpg



#

# rescan_interval

#

# How often to check the file system to see if any mp3 files

# have been added or removed.

#

# if not specified, the default is 0, which disables background scanning.

#

# If background rescanning is disabled, a scan can still be forced from the

# "status" page of the administrative web interface

#

# Setting a rescan_interval lower than the time it takes to rescan

# won't hurt anything, it will just waste CPU, and make connect times

# to the daap server longer.

#



# We'll set it to 10 minutes

#

rescan_interval = 600



# always_scan

#

# The default behavior is not not do background rescans of the

# filesystem unless there are clients connected.  The thought is to

# allow the drives to spin down unless they are in use.  This might be

# of more importance in IDE drives that aren't designed to be run

# 24x7.  Forcing a scan through the web interface will always work

# though, even if no users are connected.



always_scan = 0

servername = FireflyNSLU



#

# process_m3u

#

# By default m3u processing is turned off, since most m3u files

# sitting around in peoples mp3 directories have bad paths, and

# I hear about it.  :)

#

# If you are sure your m3u files have good paths (i.e. unixly pathed,

# with relative paths relative to the directory the m3u is in), then

# you can turn on m3u processing by setting this directive to 1.

#

# I'm not sure "unixly" is a word, but you get the idea.

#



#process_m3u = 0



#

# scan_type

#

#

# This sets how aggressively mp3 files should be scanned to determine

# file length.  There are three values:

#

# 0 (Normal)

#   Just scan the first mp3 frame to try and calculate size.  This will

#   be accurate for most files, but VBR files without an Xing tag will

#   probably have wildly inaccurate file times.  This is the default.

#

# 1 (Aggressive)

#   This checks the bitrates of 10 frames in the middle of the song.

#   This will still be inaccurate for VBR files without an Xing tag,

#   but they probably won't be quite as inaccurate as 0.  This takes

#   more time, obviously, although the time hit will only happen the

#   first time you scan a particular file.

#

# 2 (Painfully aggressive)

#   This walks through the entire song, counting the number of frames.

#   This should result in accurate song times, but will take the most

#   time.  Again, this will only have to be incurred the first time

#   the file is indexed.

#



# scan_type = 0



#

# compress

#

# Whether to use gzip content-encoding when transferring playlists etc.

# This was contributed as a patch by Ciamac Moallemi just prior to the 0.2.1

# release, and as such, hasn't gotten as much testing as other features.

#

# This feature should substantially speed up transfers of large databases

# and playlists, at least where bandwidth is limited.

#

# It will eventually default to 1, but currently it defaults to 0.

#

# DONT EVEN THINK OF ENABLING THIS ON THE SLUG.  IT WILL

# DEGRADE PERFORMANCE MASSIVELY.  It might even trigger the

# OOM killer, so just pretend this option isn't here.

#

# In fact, it's only here for the sake of completeness.



# compress = 0

In windows, there is only a folder-structure like that:
“/share/flash/data” and “/share/hdd/data”!
However, there is a “public” folder in the “Admin 2” section as follows: “Admin 2/public/mp3/xxx.mp3”!
There is my mp3-file….uuuups, I guess something went wrong.

I tried to move the public-folder with my mp3-file to the desired “/share/flash/data” section but no success. Moreover, I have tried to generate a new folder “public” in “/share/flash/data” but the access is denied (in windows). Do I have to do that in my slug? How?

Hope, anybody can help me…

aaahhhh, it works…..I can put mp3s to the disk 2/mp3 folder and firefly scans proper after the server has permission – done via telnet (‘chmod o+r -R /share/flash/data/public/mp3’).

Thanks to all for the help 😀 .

But one question. I would like to change the name of the mp3-folder.
The things I have to do are as follows, isn’t:
– change the mp3 folder at ‘disk 2’ to ‘myname’ (in windows)
– change the ‘/share/flash/data/public/mp3’ to ‘/share/flash/data/public/myname’ in the webinterface of firefly
– give permission ‘chmod o+r -R /share/flash/data/public/myname’
– reboot

Is this right or do I have forgotten something?

You probably don’t need to actually change the permissions.. it should keep the permissions on the rename.

Also, after you change the path in the web admin, just do a “full scan” in the web admin, and you won’t need to reboot that way.

Life can be so nice …. I love my slug – all works perfectly…..thanks ron and the others for your patient and help 😀 .

One question.
Do the slug have a MAC address which I can put into my router config? How can I see that?

Again, thanks for the help

The lazy way from windows is something like this:

C:>ping 192.168.0.77



Pinging 192.168.0.77 with 32 bytes of data:



Reply from 192.168.0.77: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.0.77: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.0.77: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Reply from 192.168.0.77: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64



Ping statistics for 192.168.0.77:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:

Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

C:>arp -a



Interface: 192.168.0.100 --- 0x4

Internet Address      Physical Address      Type

192.168.0.77          00-14-22-22-3c-e7     dynamic

So according to the arp command, the mac address of mine is: 00:14:22:22:3c:37

So, in summary, just ping the device, then immediately type “arp -a”. That will show you your arp table which contains both ip and mac addresses for all the machines you’ve talked to on the network for the last 30 seconds or so.
