Sorry if I am asking very naive questions, but:
I have an ASUS 500GP router, running the OLEG frimware (1.9.2.7-8)
I have installed firefly (I used ipkg install mt-daapd). I believe I have version 0.2.4-2 installed.
I believe I have set up the config file correctly (and I have set firefly to run as “admin”).
When I run mt-daapd as background task (S60mt-daapd) I get the 4 mt-daapd processes listed in the ps list (and no errors in the log file), however, iTunes will not list the shared files, and I cannot connect to the firefly config web page.
However, if I run mt-daapd as a foreground option (giving the -f option) all seems to work fine. I can connect to the web page and I can access the shared files in iTunes.
Please can you help a very confused (non-linux) guy?
I’ve seen at least one other platform like this. I’m not sure what the issue is… if it’s a signal handling thing or what, but I don’t have a full debugging suite on a machine that exhibits these problems.
The only advice I can give you is: don’t do that then. 🙂
Run it in the foreground and detach it with a & or a nohup. That’s what I’d do. 🙂
