I am also seeing the following message in my Firefly log each second:

Really there are three things to observe here:

  1. normal messages about songs starting and stopping.
  2. the “timeout in select” each second
  3. other interesting errors, such as “2007-11-10 16:58:13 (0012b804): Write error: Broken pipe … Error copying file to remote…”

At about 2007-11-10 16:58:17, I created a new smart playlist through Firefly’s web UI, and then in iTunes disconnected and reconnected with Firefly to force the new playlist to appear. I suspect that’s what provoked the messages about “unknown meta code”s.

My Firefly is svn-1696 running on an NSLU2 with rev6.8 beta Unslung firmware. The log is at -d5 level.

My client is iTunes 7.4.2 (4) on Mac OS 10.3.9.

The music collection is one directory of MP3’s which was taken over from iTune’s care, so it’s in iTunes structure with iTunes static and smart playlists; plus one director of flac-encoded music that iTunes never saw until Firefly began serving them.

BTW, Ron, this is my first chance to say thank you for this awesome software. Mostly it’s working wonderfully.
