Heya,

1. Indeed. If you run firefly like that, it runs in the current SSH session. That is why you have to run “/etc/init.d/mt-daapd start” on linux so it starts as a service in the background of the system, not the SSH session.
Probably another way to fix this is by running firefly in screen (Some multi terminal program which stays running when you disconnect the SSH session)

2. Indeed. I believe this is a bug, since my firefly doesnt have this either, but the server seems to be fully functional.

3. Right. “/etc/init.d/mt-daapd start” was the command i believe. If this does not happen on boot, you might try “update-rc.d mt-daapd defaults” which adds mt-daapd to the standard boot programs. Tho these are all linux commands, so I’m not sure they work in your situation.

4. um, did you edit your config file (/etc/mt-daapd.conf)? Like, path to your music, adminpass, etc.

Hope this helps,
