Hopefully, we’re getting to a solution, I’m still waiting for the nightly build (for my WL-HDD) for my pinnacle soundbridge (stupid daap licensing issue ! 🙁 )

I’ll closely follow this thread ! 8)

Do “/opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -v”, which should convert your config file to the new format, then edit it and add a section at the bottom like this:

[plugins]

plugin_dir=/opt/usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins

Then, to solve the original problem, check the things that should be files and make sure htey aren’t directories — specifically, check that /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.playlist is a file and not a directory, and that /var/log/mt-daapd.log is a file not a directory.

When I try to convert the file I get:
“Converting config file…
Error writing config file.”

I’m logged in as admin and have write permissions on the file, I can edit with nano.

I can confirm that the files are files not directories.

Then add a “-d9 -f” to that and see what it says. Also, can you log on as root?

I then get:

My understanding is that admin is the root account on the asus. There seems to be no user called root.

[CCRDude]

There always is a root, some OS protect it so that you can sudo only though 😉

Could you type

ls /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -al

And post the output? It would show who has which access rights for that file…

Or you could immediately change them, I guess since there are no other users on that NAS, it isn’t that bad to make it available to every user on the machine:

sudo chmod 777 /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

sudo tells the machine it should do the following command with superuser rights (aka root rights).

Before doing chmod:

-rw-r--r--    1 admin    root         6716 Mar  9 09:11 /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

sudo is not recognised, but doing the chmod without it gives everyone permission:

-rwxrwxrwx    1 admin    root         6716 Mar  9 09:11 /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

But after doing that I still get:

Any further ideas? Is there sample .conf available so I can manually edit the file?

There is sort of one here:

http://trac.fireflymediaserver.org/browser/trunk/contrib/mt-daapd.conf.templ?format=raw

You’ll have to search/replace the @prefix@ with the appropriate prefix (probably /opt), but that’s what the default config looks like.

Tried that .conf (after correcting the @prefix@s) but still no joy, same errors persist. I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with this build for my system. Thanks for trying to help me get it working but I’ll now just wait for an official build 😉

[gusdesigns]

Ron,

Is there some kind of schedule for any ‘official’ version for Oleg’s firmware? 😳
My pinnacle SB still only plays internet radio’s … 😥

Thanks!
