According to what you cut and pasted above it used to exist. It’s the file that you edited before, and that you tried to start that gave you the pidof errors.

Are you sure you typed that right? You can also go to that directory and see what’s there:

$ cd /opt/etc/init.d

$ ls

S05bash         S40sshd         S57rsyncd       S60mt-daapd

You should see “S60mt-daapd” there, just like I’ve shown. If not, then that’s probably part of your problem.

I did that and could see the file there, but when I put in the command, it still didn’t show, but I tried the following and it showed me something.

killall mt-daapd 2>/dev/null
fi

sleep 2 /opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c
/opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

D’oh! Good call.

There should be a linefeed afer sleep 2, and no linefeed after the -c.

like so:

sleep 2

/opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

OKay, I did that. and I realized that something about the Unjustify/Justify command kept making my lines move up when I would save it. But now I get this:

“ipkg install flac” should pull down the latest flac, and you should be in business.

Boy I am just not making this easy am I?

I got this:

I think it may have something to do with one of the sites I am ‘echo’-ing. When I had run this earlier:

# ipkg update

I got this:

Not sure what happened, when It worked when I first posted.

Wow. Okay, we really are making this hard. 🙂

Try:

# echo "src nslu2 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mss/cross/unstable" > /opt/etc/ipkg.conf

# echo "src firefly http://ipkg.fireflymediaserver.org/mipsel" >> /opt/etc/ipkg.conf

then “ipkg update”, then “ipkg install flac”

[tiggermn]

Well, the first part worked fine again. But I still got the same error message with Flac:

Could it be that maybe I have done so much stuff that perhaps I need to ‘clear everything out’ and try it over again? At one point I had TwonkyMedia on there, but I have since uninstalled it because it wasn’t working either.

And if I do need to clear everything out, how would I ‘easily’ go about that.

Looks like it’s having problems downloading that file. Try downloading it on a pc and copying it over to the device. The path is right there.

As far as from scratching it, I’m actually not entirely sure! There is a minimum number of files you need in opt, I think, so I don’t think you can just whack the /opt dirctory.

[tiggermn]

I am on a PC, so I would download it here, but then how would i copy it over. All my PCs are Windows based, and none of them can see these folders when I log into the device normally, so I am assuming I would need to use something like putty to do it, I just don’t know what the command is.

Thank you again for all your help in this, I greatly appreciate it!

So, what would be the command to copy that over?

You should be able to just dump that into a share on the mss server (public, maybe), then install it from there:

# cd /shares/mss-hdd/Public

# ipkg install flac_1.1.4-1_mipsel.ipk

The directory “/shares/mss-hdd/Public” is the same directory that you see when you connect to the “public” share on the mss server via windows.
