mt-daapd on Terastation – NOW WORKING

[Anonymous]

I’m *still* trying to get firefly working on my terastation and have now managed to get libsqlite and libid3tag libraies installed without borking the TS, BUT the version of firefly I’m using mt-daapd_0.9-svn-1586_sarge_powerpc.deb has been complied with ogg support and possibly other requirements which make it a whole lot harder to get working..
Is there anybody who can provide me with a ppc binary which doesnt depend on ogg/vorbis? Please.

Also are there other options which I haven’t discovered yet which may make my life difficult later (flac or howl spring to mind)?

Thanks

An idle afternoon has led to progress. I installed just the libraries from the debian PPc version of libogg, libvorbis libFlac and have made progress.

Syslog shows the foollowing:-

Seems like the user firefly / mt-daapd runs as does not have write permission to the db_directory, or the disk is full.

Also, be sure to give mt-daapd read permissions to all files within the music_dir, and execute and read permission to all dirs within 😉

Thinking of getting a Terastation myself – hope mt-daapd runs smooth & sound 🙂

You were right, it was a permissions issue.

Now sort of working:

I can connect to firefly from a web browser and scan for songs – 6939 found BUT when I try to connect from the Soundbeidge It can’t connect and I get the following error:-
Error in zlib: -2
Rendezvous socket closed (daap server crashed?) Aborting.

You didnt enable compression in the mt-daapd config file by any chance?

Other than that, did you try to connect throug DAAP or RCP?

If you have a pinnacle branded soundbridge forget about DAAP, if yours is a roku, then try not to load the rcp.so plugin.

Can you try to connect with any other clients? GIT? iTunes, banshee, rhythmbox?

Not deliberately – how would I check?

errm don’t know

I’m in the UK so mine’s a Pinnacle. The reason for installing firefly as opposed to Pcast which is already on my TS is so I can play iTunes playlists

Can you try to connect with any other clients? GIT? iTunes, banshee, rhythmbox?

Yes I can connect using iTunes on my PC

Error in zlib: -2 – This may have been co-incidence as it doesn’t always happen
Rendezvous socket closed (daap server crashed?) Aborting. – This does

That’s secret code for “zlib too old”. I keep meaning to recover from that more gracefully, but I hardly ever see it.

The oldest version that supports gzip wrappers is 1.2.0.4 (Aug 2003).

I think the version you have is older than that. Is it possible to upgrade your zlib?

Is it possible to upgrade your zlib?

I don’t know. There are only two files with zlib in the title on my Terastation, zlib_inflate.o and zlib_deflate.o. I’m a bit nervous about changing them as the deflate one is probably used to uncompress the kernel at boot time and that could brick the TS if it went wrong. What do you think?

With help from a very nice man called Andre on the Linkstationwiki it now works!!!

I’m streaming music directly from my Terastation to my Soundbridge using Firefly

Thanks everybody

I have a TeraStation Pro and would like to do something similar. Are you by any chance transcoding FLAC to wave? If so, how is the performance?
