    well if im lucky no one will get upset for me posting something that already been asked…
    i just built firefly according to the instructions in this post: viewtopic.php?p=19954&sid=2c5314b799499f40b044756afbd83490...

    now i got the same problem as hakan way down in the topic…

    which is i get firefly up and running and all seems dandy…but my soundbridge says: “no supported mediaserver found, only unrecognized DAAP server”…

    any thoughts anyone…

    Sounds like you have a Pinnacle branded SoundBridge.
    Apple did not licence DAAP to Pinnacle so Pinnacle branded units do not work with DAAP servers.

    You will have to compile with RSP enabled

    ron@laptop:~$ mkdir firefly
    ron@laptop:~$ cd firefly
    ron@laptop:~/firefly$ wget http://nightlies.fireflymediaserver.org/nightlies/svn-1586/mt-daapd-svn-1586.tar.gz
    ron@laptop:~/firefly$ tar -xvzf mt-daapd-svn-1586.tar.gz
    ron@laptop:~/firefly$ cd mt-daapd-svn-1586
    ron@laptop:~/firefly/mt-daapd-svn-1586$ ./configure --enable-flac --enable-sqlite3 --with-id3tag=/opt/local

    ron@laptop:~/firefly/mt-daapd-svn-1586$ make

    You used the above code to build firefly? You need to enable RSP when building. It would need changes to the following line:
    ./configure –enable-flac –enable-sqlite3 –with-id3tag=/opt/local –enable-rsp

    I’m not completely sure that is the correct flag, as I never compiled firefly myself.
    If you have no success compiling, maybe a .dmg file for mac would help you out:
    http://nightlies.fireflymediaserver.org/version.php?version=svn-1586
    Look at that page, it has a precompiled version for mac. Though I’m not sure whether it’s the correct version of mac…

    Hope this helps

    Right. I noticed in the wiki RSP is not a build option: http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/Configure_Options
    so I checked my own admin page, and saw RSP is under plugins.
    maybe you should enable the plugin or point to the correct plugin dir?
    Your currently running plugins are shown on the home of the adminpage of firefly.
    Perhaps you can copy the plugin from the precompiled package, and add it to your own compiled version which has flac enabled.

    thanks a bunch…what i did was just not replace the rsp.so…and it works like a charm…although i just noticed that something must have gone wrong…i still can’t play my flacs…

    the make process is concluded with this:
    make all-am
    make[5]: Nothing to be done for `all-am’.
    make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am’.
    make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all-am.

    can that have anything to do with it not working…

    I don’t really know why they dont show up.. But I know flac can (needs?) be transcoded on-the-fly by firefly.
    When a song is requested, firefly transcodes the stream to output as something like WAV or PCM.
    This puts the decoding load on the server instead of the client. (which usually has more power)
    However, I doubt this transcoding has anything to do with showing up in firefly..

    Is .flac in the music files extensions? (See adminpage->configuration->music files->extensions)
    Also, note that linux is case sensitive, so a .FLAC file is probably not recognized.
