Firefly Freelink
Requirements
- Lots of good music
- Something to play lots of your good music on - Like a Roku Soundbridge
- Or iTunes on your pc
Installation
apt-get install libid3tag0 libid3tag0-dev
apt-get install sqlite libsqlite0-dev
apt-get install g++
cd /tmp
Download Firefly mediaserver You will need to check out [the nightlies] and change the address below to the latest version
wget http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org/dl.php?FILE=mt-daapd-svn-1463.tar.gz
Untar and enter folder (replace with whatever latest version is)
tar -zxvf mt-daapd-svn-1463.tar.gz && cd mt-daapd-svn-1463
Configure it with the following (all one line)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-browse --enable-query --enable-mdns --with-id3tag=/usr/local --enable-sqlite --sysconfdir=/etc
Make and install it
make install mkdir /etc/mt-daapd cp contrib/mt-daapd.* /etc/mt-daapd/ cd /etc/mt-daapd
pico mt-daapd.conf
Should only need to change where to look for your music files
Starting at boot
I've nicked the start script from andre's mt-daapd ppc package (if you don't mind andre)
pico /etc/init.d/firefly
and add all this
#! /bin/sh set -e # /etc/init.d/firefly: start and stop the DAAP daemon DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd DAAPD_OPTS="" DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE=/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf test -x $DAEMON || exit 0 case "$1" in start) if ! grep -q /usr/local/lib /etc/ld.so.conf; then echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig fi echo -n "Starting DAAP daemon: firefly" if pidof $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo " apparently already running." exit 0 fi if [ ! -s "$DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" ]; then echo " missing or empty config file $DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" exit 1 fi start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \ --exec $DAEMON -- -c "$DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" $DAAPD_OPTS echo "." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping DAAP daemon: firefly" killall $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1 echo "." ;; restart) set +e echo -n "Restarting DAAP daemon: firefly" killall $DAEMON >/dev/null 2>&1 sleep 2 if ! start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \ --exec $DAEMON -- -c "$DAAPD_CONFIG_FILE" $DAAPD_OPTS then echo "start failed?" fi echo "." ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/firefly {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0
Then add the links
cd /etc/rc2.d && ln -s /etc/init.d/firefly S20ps2client
cd /etc/rc6.d && ln -s /etc/init.d/firefly K20ps2client
cd /etc/rc0.d && ln -s /etc/init.d/firefly K20ps2client
Think it needs one of these
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/firefly
Run it
Should be able to start it up now
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd
or better still use the start/stop script
/etc/init.d/firefly start
This errors because it looks for mt-daapd.conf in /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf ??
I've just linked to it
mkdir /usr/local/etc ln -s /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf
Try it now
/etc/init.d/firefly start
Issue top and you should see mt-daapd at the top of the list -
top
Once that dissapears (it has finished checking your music library) you should be able to see it via the web interface
http://<LINKSTATION-IP>:3689
That should show you something like this
Run over to your Roku Soundbridge and check if its working - then fire up iTunes on your pc and see all your files
