Hi,

does anyone has experience installing firefly on synolgy ds-508.

i’m using Original and latest firmware.

I have tried to install firefly mt-daapd_svn-1696-1ds101g_powerpc.ipk using bootstrap provided by Maarten Damen (http://www.maartendamen.com) ending with the following error:

ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for mt-daapd:
libid3tag libogg libvorbis ivorbis-tools flac sqlite2 bash alac-decoder

Any idea doing better ?

Thanks for replies

Hi again,

as i understand i have to install the following packages:

libid3tag libogg libvorbis ivorbis-tools flac sqlite2 bash alac-decoder

I#m not sure which packages (optware ?). Are there any special packages for powerpc (ppc) like the package mt-daapd_svn-1696-1ds101g_powerpc.ipk

Thanks for help

FireFly is now running on my DS 508 talking to my Roku soundbridge M1001 with package

I’ve been running Firefly on my DiskStation for some time now, but since the version I had manually installed was really old, I decided to replace it with the one available directly through ipkg. Now I have a problem with Ogg Vorbis tags. It seems that Firefly isn’t able to read any metadata from Vorbis files and since majority of my music library is ripped in exactly that format, it makes using Firefly really hard. The files can be streamed, it’s just that their tags aren’t correctly read by Firefly.

Is anyone else having similar problems and does anyone have any idea how they could be solved?

Ok, apparently the mt-daapd package which is available from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/ is not compiled with vorbistools support. Which is a shame, really. I guess I’ll just install a manually cross-compiled version, then.
