Hi, new to the forums but I’ve been using Firefly for a while now and I really enjoy it. Running across a problem though: my share will randomly disconnect in iTunes, sometimes in the middle of a song and sometimes when a song isn’t even playing. Any ideas? Here’s the pertinent info:
Firefly version: svn-1696
Server: Debian Linux
Client: iTunes 7.5 for Windows
Also tried Rhythmbox for Linux, it had absolutely no problem staying connected (it was on a laptop through a wired connection).

I have a logfile if it’s necessary, it shows a couple errors on startup.

Oh, and I feign like I know what I’m doing, but really I am a linux noob, so you’ll probably have to walk me through anything server-side

1696 has a contention issue with the database that causes it to become locked. Quick fix is to turn off background scanning by setting scan_interval to 0. You’ll have to manually rescan when you need to add music, but it will keep your server running better. 🙂
