how can i find out if the mt-daap-ssc.sh is being called.. i’ve spent the last two hours trying to figure this out. it seems to be in the correct place. i’ve changed the paths to wavstreamer and flac in the script. the permissions on the script are wide open. i’ve also tested it from the command line and it seems to work. but mt-daapd tells me it sends like 18k and then says its finished sending.
anyway i can debug this?
on linux?
you could use logger statements in the script:
NAME
logger - a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log module
SYNOPSIS
logger [-isd] [-f file] [-p pri] [-t tag] [-u socket] [message ...]
DESCRIPTION
Logger makes entries in the system log. It provides a shell command interface to the syslog(3) system log
module.
Options:
-i Log the process id of the logger process with each line.
-s Log the message to standard error, as well as the system log.
-f file Log the specified file.
-p pri Enter the message with the specified priority. The priority may be specified numerically or as a
``facility.level'' pair. For example, ``-p local3.info'' logs the message(s) as informational level
in the local3 facility. The default is ``user.notice.''
-t tag Mark every line in the log with the specified tag.
-u sock Write to socket as specified with socket instead of builtin syslog routines.
-d Use a datagram instead of a stream connection to this socket.
-- End the argument list. This is to allow the message to start with a hyphen (-).
message Write the message to log; if not specified, and the -f flag is not provided, standard input is
logged.
The logger utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

You can set the debuglevel to 9, and set up a logfile in the config file. htat should give you some info on what’s going on.
Also, you could do something like change:
$ALAC "$FILE" | $WAVSTREAMER -o $OFFSET $FORGELEN
to
$ALAC "$FILE" | tee /tmp/out.wav | $WAVSTREAMER -o $OFFSET $FORGELEN
and that will give you in /tmp/out.wav the file that got sent to itunes. Check to see it’s a valid wav file. I think it probly isn’t. 🙂

I have tried both of these tips. I have added a logger messade to the mt-daap-ssc.ssh file and I have also sprinkled some tee within the mix.
When I run the script manually, it works. My message gets logged, and the out.wav file plays perfectly.
But it seems that this transcoding file never gets called by the mt-daapd daemon.
I have checked the path and permissions a thousand times. I don’t see anything in the mt-daapd logs either. What exactly should I be looking for in the logs? Will it show the name of the transcoding script it is calling?
fizze,
you’re right. i’m an idiot. thanks.
