I said I would be back π
I have configured Firefly to see FLAC music files and Soundbridge sees them too. The problem is that Soundbridge says “This format is not supported” when I try to play them.
I use dBPoweramp CD Ripper to produce the FLAC files, so what am I doing wrong?

I am not sure a version this old supports Flac…
I’d go to a nightly like 1586 which can be found here
http://nightlies.fireflymediaserver.org/version.php?version=svn-1586download it to your admin part of the slug, telnet in, cd to the dir you downloaded it to and then type
ipkg install mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk.

Secondly, according to ipkg update this is the latest stable version of Firefly.

You can also use wget to download it directly on the slug and then install it right away. You can grab these binaries from the nightlies page.

It was good in it’s time π It was the last stable mt-daapd.
You will enjoy the advances that the FF nightlies bring in speed and flexibility.

Yeah yeah π
You know what I mean. It’s no good for transcoding. I have used it long enough to remember that it actually was “good” π01/06/2008 at 10:30 PM #17113cromeiParticipantI have used it long enough to remember that it actually was “good”
