Write error

[blamm]

Hi.

Regularly my Firefly connection stops. This time I checked the log and found the connection had been aborter. (Note the write error). Any idea why this is?

Well, I guess your client is iTunes?
Maybe this is related to the artwork. Did you try and disable the dynamic artwork stuff?

Looks like there is something wrong on the client side, imho.

Client is a Roku. Maybe I will remove the album art config and see what happens.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem with my setup
I have FireFly (svn-1586) running on Windows XP and serving songs (all of which are MP3 files) to my Roku Soundbridge (M1001) which is using a wired network connection (as opposed to its wireless)

The MP3 files are stored on a DLink NAS (FAT32 file system).
I have no issues seeing the files on my network, nor playing them directly from something like WinAMP.
I have also set the Firefly service to run as a priviliged user (me 🙂 in order to guarantee access to the files.
I am NOT using the album art feature as per the other post.

I am listening to tunes with no visible (or audible) issues on the Roku end, but I have many entries in my Firefly log as follows:

=============================================

As I stated, I was not able to perceive the signal degrading or breaking up from an audio standpoint.
Also, you can see from the log that some files were streamed with no issues.

I was just wondering if anyone could give me a hint as to what could be causing this.

Any help is appreciated.

Does the server disappear from the roku at the same time? These seems to be because the roku is closing the connection to the server, but I don’t know why. I’ve seen the packet traces showing disconnects from the roku side, but I don’t have any idea why that would be so.

If the server *doesn’t* dissappear, can you get a packet trace of it in action?

[kanstey]

The server doesn’t seem to disappear, since, as I mentioned in the original post, I don’t seem to see (or hear) any indication that anything has gone wrong from the Roku side.

I will collect an Ethereal trace of the disconnect occurring (if I can) and make it available as soon as I can.

Thanks for getting back so quickly.

Will be in touch.

Thanks,

Kevin

Like I said, the one other one I had traces on showed the roku disconnecting. The general consensus was “dunno why that’s happening”. I’d like to see something different, though.

Oh, are you using a recent nightly? Those are VS2005, rather than VS2003, and a newer libc might be a difference too.

I am using svn-1586 which I believe is the most recent available.

Ron, on an unrelated note, do you require any additional development assistance, specifically for the windows environment?

I’ll *always* take more help, particuarly on the windows side. I’m finishing up the file and socket abstraction so I’m using native functions on the windows side (CreateFile, etc) rather than libc wrappers like open(), etc. That might see some improvements.

I need help on packaging too… I really need to move to an msi installer, but have some questions on how it will work with frequent (or not so, lately!) updates.

I need a 64 bit target. I need some iconv work, and unicode/utf8 fixes in writing of the config file from the tray applet. I need updated ffmpeg on the windows side, and generally I need to clean up the port — make it more native on the windows side. There are lots of hacks in the windows implementation, although I think once I finish the file/socket stuff I mentioned, I’ll have a big chunk of the uglyness gone.

But yeah, there’s lots of help I could use. If you are interested in any of it, email me at [email protected] — I’d be happy for the help.

Sent you an email re: the dev work.

Should svn-1586 be a fairly recent (and stable) build?
