Roku Can’t See Linkstation Live/Firefly

OK you want to run svn-1586, standalone instead of a SubApp of PCast. You say that it does not show on your Roku Soundbridge, running beta software.

I gave you an alternative way to see if your svn-1586 install is working.

Are we saying that iTunes should see Firefly as a server? I was assuming (and I know what they say about assumptions :wink:) that iTunes could only use its own library…

[Kaiten]

If you enable “Look for shared libraries” (OS X, don’t know how different it is in Win) you should see something like this:

Ah, I had no idea you could do that! I will check that just as soon as I get home!

Great tip Kaiten – I can see Firefly running on the Linkstation via iTunes! Will check the server name text to see if that’s an issue, and I will see how to back-out the code on the Roku…

It might be that the mDNS name is too long

you currently have

servername = Firefly %v on %h

on my slug I have

servername = %h Music

and that works.

Might be worth a try ?

Thanks – I tried a shortened name (Firefly %v), but the server’s still not visible… Currently going down the broken Roku beta s/w path…

[Kaiten]

Glad you ruled out the LS, but not sure why one version would show & not the other.

Probably a Q for Ron.

FYI, downgraded my Roku to 2.7.78, but still no joy. I’ve verified that svn-1586 is advertisng itself, but it seems to be doing that in a way that’s different to other versions… I’m going to create a new library and wind up debugging to 9 to see if anything obvious comes to light…

[cezza]

Here’s my mt-daapd.log [Updated]. I rebooted the Roku whilst the server was running, but the device doesn’t appear to have tried to contact Firefly… When I’m running iTunes you can see the client querying the server, but there’s nothing like that here…

That looks fine.

Do you have a mac that you can run the bonjour browser on?

Also, is the server machine a machine with multiple interfaces or ip addresses? Sometimes that makes the built-in mdns unhappy.

By stock the Linkstations have only 1 Interface & have no ability to run aliases. I’m using the exact same binaries.

I’ve repartitioned my dev box today (was running out of dev space), this cleared everything obviously.
Installed stock firmware.
Applied all the known fixes for the LSPro/Live Series..(http://forum.linkstationwiki.net/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=3601)
Copied a selection of audio files to my Music dir.
Installed svn-1586 as per Bawbaggs instructions, using the binaries/libs supplied by me.
Started firefly.
Logged onto the web interface.
Started a full scan.
Opened iTunes (OS X).
Played flac, ogg, mp3 & m4a.
All played fine. ogg had a 1 sec stutter at the start (Buffering)
Reinstalled all my dev environment.
Tested all again.

At present I can see nothing that would stop the LinkStation from carrying out the task. Unfortunately I don’t have a Ruku Box to fully test this out.
