Newbie/Server port number problem (I think)

[motte_]

Hi,
I can’t connect to FireFly from my SB!
I can listen too Internet radio but;
When I use port 3689 FireFly can create a library in Itunes but my SB can’t connect to FireFly.
When I use port 9999 FireFly can not create a library in Itunes but my SB can connect to my FireFly (but then I don’t se any music, of course)
What’s wrong?
I’ve turned of all my Firewalls during my testing.

FireFly Server 1.0 SVN1359 – Running
Bonjour – Running
Itunes 7.1.1.5 – Running
SB HomeMusic, 2.7.78 – Running
Windows XP, SP2

First things first. Set your firefly to 9999. make sure again that your firewalls are off. Later, we can set them back up, but let’s keep them off for the purposes of testing.

Set your music directory to your “My Music” directory. That should be something like “documents and settingsyour namemy documentsmy music”.

Then go into the web interface on firefly by going into the tray icon, and hitting the web management button on the “Server” tab. It should come up to a web page, with a button that says “FULL SCAN”. Hit that button, and it will turn gray. Then wait for a while until it becomes normal again. Look at the line that shows how many music files are in your library. It shoudl be more than 0.

Then try and connect from the SB and see if you can see any songs.

If that doesn’t work step by step, then I’ll need more information, like:

1. Where is your iTunes mucis stored? Is it local to the machine running the server, or it is in on a network drive?

2. How is your PC and your Soundbridge connected? Is one wired and one wireless? And if one of them is wireless, then what kind of wireless router do you have.

I think that should make it go, though.

Hi,
I think I managed to solve the problem. I had forgotten that my router had a virtual server and I had to open up a port. When I opened port 9999 FireFly seemed to start to scan. Unfortunately I had no time to finish testing yesterday so I will look into it again Friday.
Thanks for your help so far.

Hi again,
I still got problems.
It seems that Firefly just keep scanning and scanning. I had the computer on all night and in the morning it was over 10000 threads and still keep searching (I use Debug Level 9). I’ve started a new scan and when I hit Refresh the last column say:

When I changed the Debug Level to 0, then it comes up with 0 songs.

One thing that maybe can be of help is when I open the Firefly web page it says under Client IP:
Client IP Action
127.0.0.1 Serving xml-rpc method
192.168.1.230 (null)

The information you asked for:
1. Where is your iTunes mucis stored? Is it local to the machine running the server, or it is in on a network drive?
Answer: It is local
2. How is your PC and your Soundbridge connected? Is one wired and one wireless? And if one of them is wireless, then what kind of wireless router do you have.
Answer: Wireless
Router: OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Router, Version 2.00.02

That’s normal, it checks for new songs and stuff in the background, and it starts a new thread every time.

What exactly isn’t working, because from the log file, it looks okay.

There are no songs when I’m trying to connect through my SB (0 playlists, 0 artists…).

What is your music directory set to, and is there any music in that directory?

Aaah… that’s a unicode problem. Upgrade to the 1.1b here:

and that should fix you up.

I’m sorry but that didn’t fix the problem. I installed FireFly 1.0 svn-1483 and I still have zero songs when I try to connect through my SB 🙁
