    Using Kurobox-HG.

    My OS is the so-called “Sylver” 2.6 version, apparently based on Debian.

    I attempted the make of the latest svn-1489 and encountered some header file issues (I’ll post another thread on that).

    Meanwhile, back on this 2005 version of mt-daapd included with Sylver, I’m not getting any songs added to the data base. I’ve copied a bunch of mp3’s into the /mnt/itunes folder, and pressed the scan button a few times. I’m guessing that what’s going on is that my database app isn’t running but I don’t know how to fire it up properly I guess.

    Here’s my ps -aux:

    [root@KURO-BOX:~]$ ps -aux
    Bad syntax, perhaps a bogus ‘-‘?

    And the important parts of my mt-daapd.conf:

    web_root /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
    port 3689
    admin_pw mt-daapd
    db_dir /var/cache/mt-daapd
    mp3_dir /mnt/itunes
    servername KuroBox
    runas nobody
    playlist /etc/mt-daapd.playlist
    extensions .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.ogg
    ssc_extensions .ogg
    ssc_prog /etc/mt-daapd-ssc-script
    logfile /var/log/mt-daapd.log
    art_filename _folderOpenImage.jpg
    rescan_interval 300
    scan_type 0

    Web interface runs.
    songs.db exists in /var/cache/mt-daapd.
    Playlist file does not exist.
    logfile exists, here’s mostly what it consists of:

    Roku SoundBridge and iTunes on my PC both recognize the Kurobox as a server but no songs!!!

    So, what should I do next?

    Seems you ignored one of my warnings 😛

    Different media folder, can’t work.
    (case matters was the warning, if you don’t remember 😉 )

    Hi CCR,

    Actually the case was OK in the config file, I just blew it when typing it in here. But thx for the reminder.

    In any case I built and installed the svn-1489 version so now I have a different set of problems!

    You’ll have yet another if you keep that config file. You’ll probably want to get the sample config from the “contrib” directory and overwrite your existing one. Then edit it to taste.

    There are some differences in the config file (particularly the [plugins] section) and you’ll have to have a “new format” config file to work right.
