mt-daapd aborts shortly after starting up

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have been happily using the mt-daapd software on my nslu2 for a few months now (thanks, by the way, it’s great software), but lately it’s not been working too well.

Here’s what the log says:

2008-03-19 22:42:48: Starting rendezvous daemon
2008-03-19 22:42:48: Current database version: 8
2008-03-19 22:42:48: Starting signal handler
2008-03-19 22:42:49: Loading playlists
2008-03-19 22:42:49: Initializing database
2008-03-19 22:42:54: Starting mp3 scan
2008-03-19 22:47:13: Rendezvous socket closed (daap server crashed?) Aborting.
2008-03-19 22:47:13: Aborting

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks!

It is probably tripping over a rogue mp3 file that has been added.

Set the log level to 5 and it should tell you what file it is scanning.

OK, I tried putting in “logfile /var/log/mt-daapd.log -d5” into the conf file and now I get nothing in the log at all!

Am I doing it wrong? 😕

You need to set

debuglevel = 5

and leave the log entry as

logfile /var/log/mt-daapd.log

Now I get this error on startup:

# /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd
Invalid config directive: debuglevel
Error reading config file (/opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf)

I can’t get into the web interface as it doesn’t stay running long enough so I’ve got to set this through the config file.

Oh I get it, you put -d5 after the command to run it…

The debuglevel entry lives in the [general] section.

It should have been there by default.

I don’t have a general section or any = signs in the file, seems to be different to what you’re talking about… I’m editing the /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf file, is there another one I should know about?

Anyway, no extra info was provided by the log with -d5, so I tried it with -d9, and it still didn’t give me any extra stuff:

2008-03-20 00:15:16: Starting rendezvous daemon

Which version are you running ?

[Anonymous]

I don’t know I got it from the ipkg optware package system.

The date at the top of the config file is 2005 though so having seen that I’m guessing it’s not too recent…
