DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Never mind, I resolved it. The problem was in the smart playlists loaded from the XML iTunes file. Now it works.

Many thanks for your work!!!

Hi,

I think I figured out the problem. If you got to many songs in your DB, /tmp runs out of space (bad idea anyway to have /tmp on a flash based drive) and firefly crashes. I'm going to release a new build tomorrow.
Have you made sure that your DB is in a good condition?


Edit: Seems like I don't have to compile a new package. You should be able to set TMPDIR to a path on your disk. Simply add "export TMPDIR=/ffp/tmp" to your mtdaapd.sh in the start folder should do it. Hopefully this solves your problem.

See ya,
Markus

Hi, I think that I can confirm the same error:

Up to 10.000 songs things run as they should.

But above 10.000 songs, things go crazy.

In the browser window, the song count always stops at 9999 songs (there are more...)

how can debug this in the best way?

Any ideas?

If there's no clean way to tell firefly to use a different temp directory, you should patch the sources. This is really ugly.

Hi,

I have tried the updated version (mt-daapd-svn-1696-2.tgz). Things still stop at approx. 10.000 files.

I would really like to help debugging, ogg and flac support is what I am looking for for a long time. Please give me some advice on how to support.

Hi, I was wrong: scan of the files and building up the database seems to work now (12749 songs served, including oggs), but during streaming/playback of ogg-files the "oggdec" is missing.

The addionally need packages have been installed according to your manual.

Do I have to adjust something in the mt-daapd.conf?
Does the file point to the right place where the transcoding-plugins are situated?

Any good advice is appreciated :-)

Hi, basically I reinstalled ffp0.5 from scratch, which includes also to reinstall all firefly packages and - of course to rebuilt the songs3.db-database included in the directory.

One of those 3 things did the job :-)

If you could provide a version including ogg - that would be great!

Perfect,works fine now! Great job! Thanks a lot!

My Soundbridge is finally able to play ALL my mp3, ogg and flac files from my CH3SNAS! (The default CH3SNAS mediaplayer has problems with the Soundbridge and/or vice versa)
No problems with this Firefly package, it is a perfect solution!
Thanks Delekhan / Markus for your solution!

Hi,

it is possible that oggdec is eating up a lot of CPU power. Since I have a flac only database, I never noticed any problems.
But it seems that Tremor is way faster on integer only platforms (The DNS-323/CH3SNAS doesn't have/has a FPU, does it?) so I'm planning on releasing a replacement for oggdec. Probaply going to do that toningt.

Thanks for using the package, seems to help a few.

Hello,

I have been using this pimped version for quite a while - thanks for the good work done so far.

But I am getting problems after the latest firmware-upgrade: I backed up all data from myDNS323 and upgraded to firmware 1.05b28. Then I did a reformat and copied back my files.

Then I reinstalled ffp0.5, and and fetched the upgraded to the latest versions from fonz's homepage >>>inreto<<<.

I also installed the 6 additional packages needed for this firefly-version, started up the mt-daapd server and rescanned succesfully:

Current state:

/ # mtdaapd -f
Firefly Version svn-1696: Starting with debuglevel 2
Plugin loaded: ssc-script/svn-1696
Plugin loaded: rsp/svn-1696
Plugin loaded: daap/svn-1696
Starting rendezvous daemon
Starting signal handler
Initializing database
Starting web server from /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/share/mt-daapd/admin-root on port 3689
Registering rendezvous names
Serving 10595 songs.  Startup complete in 6 seconds

The problem is that my Soundbridge does not SEE the server anymore. I think this is because the BONJOUR-server is not running. AFAIK it was running before the upgrade.

This is what I get from the web-frontend:
Service                      Status     
Bonjour                     Stopped    
Firefly Media Server     Running    
File scanner             Idle    

How can I re-enable BONJOUR or debug this in a clever way? Any good advice is greatly appreciated...

Regards

Good morning! (at least over here in Europe)

Ready to update Firefly to the latest svn? I'm sure you are. Everything is done with fonz build utilities and of course we are using tremor to decode ogg files. You can download all this stuff here: http://files.hesse-n.com/ch3snas/ Just make sure to install all the files, otherwise Firefly will crash...

Bye,
Markus
