Problem with svn-1498 and svn-1489

[rissom]

Hi!

Firefly has several problems on my Debian Sarge System. I first used the stable version. There is a memory leak which causes firefly to crash during start up. If I only use a small amount of mp3 files firefly (stable) works fine.
I then tried the nightlies. They also have the memory leak. For a small amount of files the server starts up fine and appears to be running (two entries in the ps-list) but does not show up in iTunes (firewall is disabled). The Log-file looks like this:

Sorry I have no idea what could possibly be wrong. [/code]

I’d be interested to hear more about the memory leak. I haven’t observed one, but if you could show me a valgrind or something similar (with nightlies), that would sure be helpful.

If you upgraded from 0.2.4 to nightlies, then you probably have a config file missing the plugins section.

Copy the config file from the contrib folder into /etc and edit that to suit. That will probably do it (assuming it showed up in iTunes using 0.2.4).

Thank you for the quick reply! I replaced the .conf-file with a new version (including plug-in-section). Unfortunately the server still is not showing up in iTunes. v0.24 did show up, so it is not a problem with a firewall.

Do you have any other idea what the problem could be?
Thank you,

Thorse

Hi!

Now it’s working. I don’t really know what the problem was.
Could be related to files that mac os x creates for mp3 files in the same folder. I will check. Thanks for your help.
Greetings,

Thorsten
