Hi folks,
I just upgraded my server from Debian Etch to Lenny, which means firefly has gone from (roughly) 1376 to 1696.
The web interface still shows the server running, and all the songs are there, but neither iTunes on my Windows PC nor my Soundbridge can see the library.
Am I missing something obvious??

Check the status page on the web interface and see if the plugins are loaded. If they aren’t, it’s probably becasue the plugin path changed.
see where the plugins are on your installation:
dpkg -L mt-daapd | grep “rsp”
shoudl show you were the plugins are. In 1376, they were in /usr/lib/mt-daapd/plugins. They probably moved to /usr/lib/mt-daapd or something.
Check your config file that the plugins/plugin_dir entry matches where the plugins actually are (as determined above)

Three plugins are loaded (all svn1696): daap, rsp and ssc-ffmpeg
I think these are the same three that were always loaded. Should I be looking for any others? They’re still in /usr/lib/mt-daapd/plugins btw.

Found the problem – apologies for the panic.
During the upgrade, the “dbus” daemon had not been restarted. I don’t know why, but this meant that the avahi-daemon could not restart properly, which meant that although the mt-daapd server was up and running fine, avahi wasn’t broadcasting that fact, so I couldn’t connect to it.
All sorted with “invoke-rc.d dbus start”.
Cheers all,

My Ubuntu upgrade failed yesterday badly and I had to make a clean install. The Ubuntu install itself went smoothly and I quickly had Firefly up and running. Everything seemed to be ok but for some reason Soundbridge did not find my music library.
Two hours checking, setting, configuring and googling… And then I found this post – voila! Thanks again, magnate!
Hmm… something strange. Today I restart my Ubuntu and same thing again: Soundbridge fails to see my music library. Firefly is running & no errors in the log. I did try to restart mt-daapd but no help.
However, when I restarted dbus and mt-daapd again, SB found my music lib. What’s going on?
