Hmm. You need to change the values in:

/usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root/FirePlay.html

Here is the details from FirePlay readme file:

There really is not much to configure when you have installed FirePlay. The only configurable options are:

1. Server address (host)
2. Server port (port)
3. Whether or not to allow downloading of music. (preventdownload)

These three options should be set in the FirePlay.html file. Note that because of cross platform compability issues, the options has to be set in three different locations within the FirePlay.html file.

I would rather advise to open the port and use Siren web player. Its very nice.

Siren is very nice.
And supports login with Google account and OpenID

Hello All...

I've activated the FireFly DAAP and seems very simple and powerful, but after a while a Noticed two issues.

There is always a crash when I try to use access it from RythmBox(Ubuntu 10.04LT)
Here I realized that was an issue with RythmBox removing some conection headers. (Fix in here). But there is no an issue of FireFly

However I also experienced that Itunes10 wasnt happy with our MediaServer, seems that it doesnt retrieve the song list properly.(More info here on Page 5). A good guy provided a patch Im attaching below.

Is there any probability to have firefly svn-1696 recompiled? Seems that firefly group is not being active for long.

Thanks in advance TheHijacker

Yes, iTunes 10 doesn't like daapd (FireFly).

THJ could you try to recompile it with this patch...or try to make package for a maintained version forked-daapd (http://github.com/jasonmc/forked-daapd) (iTunes 10 supposed to work).

Thanks

Homepage doesn't seem to work:

http://www.fireflymediaserver.org/

I will play with that other one.

Tx a lot mate

Here is a discussion how to patch original daapd to make it work with iTunes.
http://discussions.i...tart=0&tstart=0
You nedd the source, apply this fix and compile it...

THJ i'm sure it's a peace of cake for you

I need sources. But still the main page for firefly media server is down.

[Joze]

Think that put more time/effort on this software is "futile"(love this word XD)
Today we got that Itunes10 issue, tomorrow who know what ...

We should move on...any suggestion, any other daap server with similar features?
Is that forked-daap ready? ... fit our expectations?

[TheHijacker]

I am trying to compile forked-daapd but it requires tons of extra libraries first. Curently I am compiling avahi. Before that I was compiling zlib, libconfuse, etc...

Application looks updated regulary since the latest sources are from 4th of september.

If it works you will need to test yourself when its ready.

[Joze]

Okai, Let me know...

[TheHijacker]

Still strugling with Avahi. Giving me compilation errors, missing libraries, missing headers,...

And that is a problem before I even started to compile forked-daap . Ah the joy of solving problems...

The big Chessy game ... as I tell friends, we love this "Big Sudoku" that coding is

[TheHijacker]

Avahi also required d-bus. So after I compiled that I was finally able to make progress on forked-daapd and got another challenge:

configure: error: sqlite3 was built without unlock notify support

Whoohoo

[TheHijacker]

OK. Now this is getting a bit anoying:

checking for sqlite3_unlock_notify in -lsqlite3... yes
checking if SQLite3 was built with threadsafe operations support... yes
checking for FFMPEG... yes
checking for MINIXML... no
configure: error: Package requirements ( mxml ) were not met:

No package 'mxml' found

[Joze]

Macromedia eXtensible Markup Language ... is that for Forked-daap?

[TheHijacker]

Nope. This one: http://minixml.org/software.php. Already compiled. Test number 17.

[TheHijacker]

Test number 27 failed again and this one will be a real problem to fix. glibc needs update. This is like the main main main library used for 95% applications. Updating this will problably make all those 95% of applications failed to work. I'll try to compile it in diffrent prefix. Maybe it will work but take note that the bz2 archive of sources is 21MB of size. All sources unpacked I expect to finish compiling in around 15-20 hours.



Also I plan to recomplile ffmpeg with latest 0.6+ version. The one on eTRAYz is older and is said to give problems reading mp3 tags. That one is also a big package and I expect to compile it in around 8-10 hours.

And all this for 5€ of donations money? Hell yes . A nice cold beer would taste so good after I watch this application work on eTRAYz.

[sebek72]

Where are you from?...if you make daapd work with itunes 10, I'll buy you a beer
