    mt-daapd/Firefly Version: 1.0 for Mac
    Server Operating System: ?
    Server Hardware: Macbook pro 2.2GHz Intel core 2 Duo
    Operating system OS X 10.4.11
    Client Device: iTunes 7.5 for Mac
    Firewall turned off
    itunes file on Buffalo Linkstation Pro

    Firefly says that it is starting but never actually says that it is running.
    My soundbridge says that the files are incompatible and that I should install Firefly or similar.
    Should I see anything happening in itunes? (i can’t)
    Can i fix this issue? i have already uninstalled and re-installed firefly.

    Cheers

    If this is leopard, that’s a known issue. The 1.1b from roku should work though.

    The other common issue is that the “share as” name is too long. Try changing it to something short, like “Firefly”

    Ron,
    You’re a genius, changed the share name, running like a dream.
    Cheers
