Working on "cut and paste" cheat sheet for MSS

[squashuax]

Firefly 1673 is working perfectly on my MSS. It’s an amazing program once you get it running. I like it so much I went out and bought another MSS for a friend. The thing is, I haven’t been able to get his working. The hardest part is that I’m not very good at all of this, and he is worse. I’ve been trying to get his working by asking his 14-year-old son to edit files on the MSS using Putty, and I’m trying to create a simple “cut & paste” cheat sheet in Notepad that will enable him to edit the startup, config, and rendezvous files efficiently.

One challenge with this approach is that the buffer in Putty makes it impossible to copy and paste the entire config file if you leave in all of the commentary. From what I gather, any lines preceded by a “#” do not affect the server, so I edited them out, and created the attached file. Unfortunately, something still isn’t right.

Kindly take a close look at the file below, and tell me what you think might be wrong.

Thank you!

FIREFLY STARTUP FILE CONFIGURATION

Copy, and then paste this into Putty by clicking the right mouse button after the “#” to edit the startup file:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/nano /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd

Start at the first line, delete everything by holding down CTRL+K, select and copy the code below, then paste it into Putty by clicking the right mouse button. Then write the file by pressing CTRL+O, “enter” to save the file, and CTRL+X to exit the editor.

[COPY AND PASTE THE TEXT BELOW INTO THE EDITOR]

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/lib
if [ -n “`pidof mt-daapd`” ] ; then 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

Confirm the startup configuration with this:
cat /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd

MT-DAAPD CONFIGURATION FILE

Edit the mt-daapd configuration With this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/nano /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

Delete everything with CTRL+K, copy and paste the code below, then write files by pressing CTRL+O, “enter” to save the file, and CTRL+X to exit the editor.

[COPY AND PASTE THIS TEXT INTO THE EDITOR]

web_root = /shares/mss-hdd/__opt/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port = 3689
admin_pw = mt-daapd
db_type = sqlite
db_parms = /shares/mss-hdd/__opt/var/mt-daapd

scan_type = 0
plugin_dir = /shares/mss-hdd/__opt/share/mt-daapd/plugins

Confirm with this:
# cat /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

Edit the Rendezvous configuration file with this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/nano /shares/mss-hdd/__bonjour/etc/rendezvous.conf

Mine looks like this:

MAXTOR_JSK Information

MAXTOR_JSK Configuration
_mssmaxtorconfig._tcp.
none
4301

MAXTOR_JSK Name Service
_netbios-ns._udp.
none
137

MAXTOR_JSK Session Service
_netbios-ssn._tcp.
none
139

Check the rendezvous configuration with this
cat /shares/mss-hdd/__bonjour/etc/rendezvous.conf

Type “reboot” to reboot the MSS. You will need to press the button on the front to turn it back on.

Once the light is green, type ps auxw to see if the firefly server starts. If it does, ps auxw should look something like this:

BusyBox v1.00-pre2 (2006.02.01-23:21+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands.

If it doesn’t, try to turn on the server with this line:
/opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd

Check again to see if it’s running with this line:
ps auxw

If not, try this:
opt/lib/ld.so.1 /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -f -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf -y &

Once you get it running, it will take a while to index the music – just let it rip.Once you get it running, it will take a while to index the music – just let it rip.
