Well the problem is iTunes does NOT play it as well. I had only used GIT as I didnt have iTunes on the other PC.
iTunes sees this (properties):
Type: wav-audio (remote) [entfernt in german, I think it means remote as it shows the same for mpeg files which do play]
Stream: 1408 kbit/sec
Rate: 44,100 kHz
Changed: 10.12. etcBTW if the names look strange I translated this from German iTunes interface. But it gives these values. Doesnt show an error but simply doesnt play.I can even jump to a position but it does nothing, no sound and progress bar doesnt advance.

If you do “oggdec” on the nslu2, does it say:
OggDec 1.0 (Tremor)
Specifically, does it mention Tremor? If not, then you want to uninstall vorbis-tools and install ivorbis-tools. You should have ivorbis-tools though — it’s a prereq for nightlies and conflicts with vorbis-tools.
Unless I botched the conflicts and requires or something.
This is the output of oggdec:
oggdec
OggDec 1.0 (Tremor)
Usage: oggdec [flags] file1.ogg [file2.ogg … fileN.ogg]Supported flags:
–quiet, -Q Quiet mode. No console output.
–help, -h Produce this help message.
–version, -v Print out version number.
–raw, -R Raw (headerless) output.
–output, -o Output to given filename. May only be used
if there is only one input file
This is installed (all with vorbis in name thats installed):ivorbis-tools 1.0-2 1.0-2 Tools to allow you to play, encode, and manage Ogg Vorbis files. This version is hacked to use the Tremor integer decoder. delete
libvorbis 1.1.2-3 1.1.2-3 Ogg Vorbis compressed audio format. delete
libvorbisidec cvs-20050221-2 cvs-20050221-2 libvorbisidec is the integer-only ogg decoder library, AKA Tremor delete
The normal vorbis-tools is also listed in the package list but not installed. As it should if I understand you right.

Correct. Everything looks right. You have the right packages, it works by hand…. I can’t even think of what might be wrong.
Well, one last thing, I guess… you could su to “nobody” and run the program like that. I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t work, but that’s the only thing that’s different. If that doesn’t work, I can’t imagine what it could be.
Everything looks right.
Hehe Ron,
that su nobody is a problem. I have busybox installed here and it seems that stupid thing has no su installed. This is what a su gives:
# su
TinyLogin v0.80 (2004.09.28-10:25+0000) multi-call binary — GPL2Usage: tinylogin [function] [arguments]…
or: [function] [arguments]…TinyLogin is a multi-call binary that combines several tiny Unix
utilities for handling logins, user authentication, changing passwords,
and otherwise maintaining users and groups on an embedded system. Most
people will create a link to TinyLogin for each function they wish to
use, and TinyLogin will act like whatever it was invoked as.Currently defined functions:
tinylogin, getty, login, passwdThe mt-daapd seem also not to run as nobody but as guest – ps gives:
19354 guest 504 S N /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
19355 guest 2120 S N /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

19736 guest 2120 S N /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.confYou think that could be the problem?
oh, it seems there is quite a lot of packages you didnt install.
like procps, core-utils, etc 😉
the ipkg search utility on nslu2-linux.org will become a good friend of yours, I think 🙂
Well yes this is a production / use system running unslung 6.7 and busybox!
The packages that you list are the feature rich heavy load parts that busybox provides smaller versions for. That beeing said the search function is no help as these would conflict with busybox and are deliberately not installed.
Unless you want to do development and/or native compiling the busybox utils should work fine with everything.

Thats already a lot and more than it should be hehe.I have in the meantime done a ipkg -force-overwrite -force-depends on the core-utils, ps-utils etc. package to force it to partially overwrite the busybox.
The fatter utils seem to work via the shell (taking precedence over the busybox links) but no difference on the playback front.
I tend to think its a rather rare issue with the version I run possibly. Guess best is to wait till the ipkg distripoint on fireflymediaserver.org for the armb distribution is updated and then see it the problem prevails with a top new svs version.
Give me a hump once there is a new version in the ipkg list.

I will, but I don’t imagine it will change much. The script based transcoding on the slug packages hasn’t changed in a year or so, and I haven’t had any problems with it *ever* not working out of the box.
There is something very strange going on. Everything you’ve described shows it cannot *not* work, so I have absolutely no idea what would be going wrong here.
Whatever it is, it probably won’t be fixed though, since I have no idea what isn’t working with it. And consequently can’t fix it. Have you watched it with ethereal? Is it actually sending data?
