Time-out for off-line files

hey cstern,

Found your post while looking for ss4000 info.

I have what I believe is firmware 1.4 build 709 also.

Current version : fs-bc – 1.4-b709

I tried to get root access according to the link, but it doesn’t work for me…? Could you let me know how you did it? Thanks.

I used SSH2 via Bitwise Tunnelier (http://www.bitvise.com/tunnelier – free for private use) and logged using the username “root” and password whatever-you-selected (default is “storage”).

The link is only good for enabling the SSH2 server on the SS4000. Don’t forget to replace [IP-of-your-NAS] with the actual IP address of you unit.

I LOVE the Firefly product on my Windows Machine, but would much rather install it on my Intel SS4000-e which is running all of the time. If someone has created a cookbook, I’d love to give it a try too! If not, I’d be more than happy to try and collaborate with the other owners out there to figure out a way to get this installed. This NAS has been OEM’d by quite a few companies and is therefore somewhat widespread.

Any inexpensive ones out there? I’d take a whack at it if it weren’t too pricey.

Ron,
I still haven’t been able to get it to work on my SS4000-e, but have been learning a lot along the way. Currently I’m under the impression that based on the architecture, I need a little-endian / ARM version in order to install. From the factory, SS4000-e isn’t running debian so the .deb packges doesn’t work nor most of the others that I have tried. I saw a packages called mt-daapd_svn-1634-1_armeb.ipk, so it looks like you have complied for ARM, but would need a little endian version (e.g. Intel based). Is this something that could be easily compiled? Also if you want, I can open up access to my system remotely for you.

I have both varieties of arm… the debian one might work, at least as far as the binary goes. The .deb format is really a tar.gz in disguise. You might try (just for grins) renaming the .deb to .tar.gz and extract it. You’ll find a data and a control tarball. Grab the data tarball and extract it. In there are the binaries. You might just for grins try the mt-daapd binary just to see if it runs.

If it does, you might be able to shoehorn it in that way. Of course, it might have a ton of dependancies that might bite you, I’m not sure, as I don’t know what libraries are already installed on the device.
