Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Hi,
I have a KISS-1504 player. It requires some deamon (propriatory PC-Link protocol) running on the network for streaming videos, mp3 and images stored on any hard drive. It means I currently need a PC running this piece of software. Since this NAS is a Linux machine I would like to run kissd, a lightweight KiSS PC-Link Daemon. http://www.popies.net/kissd/index.html
Is it possible? How?
Thank you for any guideline.

Hello all. First I want to thank all of you for creating these forums/wikis and for sharing the knowledge you have gained with all of us. I have been researching the DNS-323 and am considering a purchase - adding it to my ever growing home LAN.
Question: I have a APC UPS connected to my "main" computer with the supplied software to automatically shutdown the PC in case of a power failure while I'm not around. Just wondering if any of you have thoughts on how to then communicate to the DNS-323 that it should shutdown/halt as well ... or does it not matter? I have ActivePerl installed on my Win2K machine and have already written several scripts for other purposes. I also have *nix background, so if I would need to create something on the DNS-323 I would feel comfortable doing that. :-)
Thanks in advance!

BobE, that sounds like great stuff, but I think that it needs its own thread. Partly because your message is worthy of its own thread if you can help with scripts and stuff, and partly because this is cox's thread and you don't address his question. //epatnor

You'd need to connect the 323 to your UPS as well, or it will already be "gone" once you get the signal.
Assuming you get a script running some time before power stops, it should be easy to shutdown
the 323 remotely: Connect to a telnetd (or sshd) running on the 323, and send "halt". Using telnet, this should almost
be trivial (create TCP connection, send 'halt', maybe wait a second, done)

Back to my question... anybody?

/mnt/HD_a2
Thank you for any guideline.
Yes, I managed to compile kissd to run on the DNS-323 and, at least for me, without problems.
I setup Debian on the 323 as per wiki and changed a bit of the code due to other paths (root is /mnt/HD_a2, not '/').
To launch it you need of course some kind of fun_plug.
If you are interested let me know. fun_plug is a most. I am running firmware 1.02.

Hi !
I'm interested in the demon you compiled. I haven't created the cross-compile chain, so I'd be glad to get the binary. Could you send me a link to it ?
Cheers,
Vincent.

Sure. The installation and download link are at the wiki:
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:kiss_dp-558_pc_link_server
On an message above I stated that I had had changed a bit of the code. This is not true anymore. The source I now use is thw original without changes.
In particular you must tell the 'kissd' daemon where to find the 'kissd.conf' configuration file using the '--config' command line option.
If you need any help just post here or email me.
