mt-daapd-0.2.4.2 and /rsp/info

[toxic]

Hello !

I’ve tried to update my mt-daapd (I installed it from the ubuntu repo, and the version is pretty old I think : Version svn-1696)

So I downloaded the last stable release on the official firefly website….

But I encountered some problems that keep me from using it (I rolled back to the ubuntu-packaged version)

Seems you forgot some things in this release : the server works properly with Rythmbox, no problem… But, when I try to use Fireplay, it asks for the file /rsp/info on the port 3689 (where mt-daapd is, not my apache server…) And Somehow, this version (0.2.4.2) returns a 404 Not Found… It prevents me to use the great Flash Client that is FirePlay…

Other things seems to have been forgotten : when using a nice php tool named FireStat, the php-script asks the mt-daapd serverfor infos, and expect a XML awnser (it’s asking for http://localhost:3689/server-info?output=xml)
But I tried it myself, the result given by the mt-daapd server si no valid XML File, it’s some random binary file, unreadable…

So I’m thinbking, 2 possibilities : you made a misstake on that release, in which case I’d like you to point me to the most stable release fixing those 2 issues…

Or secon possibility : the compilation aent arong on my system… I didn’t saw any error making the server, but the ./configure shows some “no”…. So here it is in case you’re sure the problem is on my side…

Heh, in fact, 1696 is the newest version. Whereas the latest ‘stable’ version doesn’t have RSP implemented yet.
Therefore I suggest you reinstall the version from the ubuntu repo, which most likely will fix your problem.

Hello, I’m trying to get FirePlay to work for the first time on my new HP EX495. I used the automated method found here:
http://www.mediasmartserver.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3999&start=0

Here’s what happens. I hit up:

http://myserver.com:9999/FirePlay.html

It prompts for the username & password, I enter the firefly admin password and then I get the following error:

Not found
Error 404 mt-daapd: svn-1737
Error: The system cannot find the file specified.

I can get to the regular firefly admin page ok. http://myserver.com:9999

I logged in via RDP, where can I check to see if the FirePlay.html file is actually there or not?
I see the js, swf, and a few other files there but NOT any .html files here: C:InetpubwwwrootFirePlay
Since I’m using the automated install, where can I get the FirePlay.html file and where should I put it?
Do I need to upgrade anything else?

EDIT: Never mind, I didn’t read the latest update. you have to use http://myserver.com/FirePlay
(and it works! no more port or html needed)
