Installation of FireFly on MSS

[Anonymous]

When I try to run the ‘ipkg install mt-daapd’ command, I get an ‘ipkg: invalid magic’ error after download. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks!

I got this myself. It turns out that the built-in wget has some problems and segfaults. You might try downloading all those packages from your workstation, copying them over to the MSS and installing from those packages rather than fetching via wget.

Thanks for the reply, Ron!!

Do you have any idea how to do this? I’m not so familiar with Linux syntax, so I don’t think I can do it. Do you have any idea what is the better choice, Twonky media server (I run a trial now, because of the Firefly installation problem) or FireFly?

I am experience the INVALID MAGIC when I try to install
# ipkg install mt-daapd

exactly like Alain. Please see below. Can you assist me with this?

grab the real wget first 😉

ipkg install wget

and link the wget in /bin/wget to /opt/bin/wget if you need to.

It’s generally wise to download a couple of packages to your slug (if you can afford the extra space) to make it more desktop-linux comatible.

I’d generally advise to install these packages:
procps
coreutils
wget
bash
joe (or your favorite text editor)

Can you be more specific about how to do this? I’m stuck. Here’s the latest I’m seeing when I telnet my MSS at 192.168.1.102 and try to follow all of the instructions:

Twonky seems better in the sense that it runs and stuff. 🙂

Hrm… wait a second. Do you have wget installed via ipkg? Does “ipkg list_installed” show wget?

If so, ipkg remove wget, and see what that does.

Also, did you set your path to include /opt/bin before you started doing this stuff?

[squashuax]

Sorry – I’m way out of my element. You ask if I set the path to opt/bin. What does that mean, how would I know, and how do I do it?

# ipkg list_installed
mss-libhelper – 1.0-1 – libraries necessary to run firefly (from the broadcom hdn-tools-3.2.3 tarball)
