NSLU2 and Pinnacle – which nightly?

[bivvy]

I have moved on from a PC running Firefly and now have an NSLU2. I have managed to install and unsling Linux (Firmware Version: V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta) but now need help getting mt-daapd working. The problem, I think, is that I have a Pinnacle M1001.

Using the

ipkg install mt-daapd

worked fine, and I version 0.2.4-2 installed and it appears to be running OK. Unfortunately the Soundbridge will not connect to it. I have read somewhere that the stable release will not work with the Pinnacle, and I need to install a nightly.And that is where I grind to a halt. Have searched the WIKI and Forums, but can’t find the answer.

So – the questions:
1) Which nightly do I need to install
2) What is the full ipkg command I should use to install it.

Thanks

Im not linux literate at all but I’ve just done this on a friend’s slug and it worked without any problems.

Download mt-daapd_svn-1498-1_armeb.ipk and drop it in the public folder on your hdd (either \Slugadmin 1public or \Slugdisk 1)

Then from the telnet session:

cd /tmp

cp /share/hdd/data/public/mt-daapd_svn-1498-1_armeb.ipk /tmp

ipkg update

ipkg install gdbm

ipkg install libid3tag

ipkg install -force-overwrite mt-daapd_svn-1498-1_armeb.ipk

cp /share/hdd/data/public/

ipkg install libao_0.8.6-1_armeb.ipk

ipkg update

ipkg upgrade flac

Then make the necessary changes to the config file and re-start the slug.

Thanks M@rk – works a treat.

Only needed to install the nightly with ipkg

ipkg install -force-overwrite mt-daapd_svn-1498-1_armeb.ipk

(once I had copied the .ipk file to a suitable location). All the other installs appeared to be carried out automatically.

I am listening to the Soundbridge as I compose this reply. 😀

To take the manual download step out of a Firefly slug install see the ‘Firefly Installation’ of this page;

Hope that helps!
