iTunes 10 breaks Firefly Media Server / mt-daapd

My NAS from Allnet and my Airport Express are working again after the update to Mac iTunes 10.0.1, Windows iTunes not tested yet.

Thanks to Apple, before the update I thought Apple will follow their proprietary way only!

Thanks for getting back to me Munkyboy. I did fix it with 10.0.1.
btw- I was able to install FreeBSD on my FreeNAS server using some instructions I found on http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2071

I was also abel to download the FireFly code and compile but didn't get far enough to figure out where it needs to go on my USB drive to survive a reboot.
If anyone know that, please send me the path.

Thanks again!

It looks like now it is working fine for music streaming on my Drobo FS Firefly app. Nice, and thanks Apple.

But one thing I'm not sure of, iTunes cannot see the artist name, album and so on. Was it there like this before or it is something new? I just can't remember. Anyone can tell me if I should, normally, see those metadata in iTunes? Personally, I think it should...

10.0.1 (22) fix the problem with mt-daapd and can also play ogg files!!

Had the same problem but as soon as I upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 everything worked again.
Thanks to Apple guys that helped all iTunes server users.....

I also have the latest itunes version 10.0.1 and it still hasn't fixed my NAS issue. I dont have the firefly media server but I still have the same problems..

Sorry for this post however I am not super techie and therefore need simple step on how to apply the patch provided by Deleriaus. Can anyone give me simple (basic) steps on how to apply the patch for Mac OS 10.6.4and what I need to do.


Cheers,

Can you please consider posting a youtube video on "how to set-up firefly" on your droboFS?

or maybe a blog post that is a "review of firefly on drobofs?"

or
"what can Firefly do for you on your DroboFS" type of post.

In general I'm having a really hard time finding tutorials for Droboapps for the droboFS and wish users who have success would share with "how-to" and "FAQ" type webposts / videos / reviews / walk-throughs / etc.

Same here -- a step-by-step would be great!

Does this mean the new Apple TV can now stream from a server/NAS/FreeNAS running an updated FireFly/mt-daapd?

Mark,

I'm running CentOS 5.4, and while I see the server named correctly, attempting to open the server just kicks me back to my library - this is with iTunes10 on both Mac and PC.

I was wondering what steps you took exactly to make it work, or whether there is something else preventing me from seeing my files.

I have read the entire thread here. I see that iTunes 10 was not compatible with Firefly. I also see that there may be a patch available for Firefly. I also read that newer versions of iTunes 10 may have fixed this problem, at least on some OS platforms.

I am hoping someone can give me some specific advice on whether iTunes 10 should now be working on my configuration or whether some patch might fix my problem.

I am running Firefly on a Western Digital MyBook World Edition NAS, which runs some light form of Linux. I am running iTunes 10.1.2.17 on a Windows 7 laptop.

iTunes used to happily see my NAS as a Shared Library, but stopped working sometime last fall, presumably when I upgraded to iTunes 10. Right now, iTunes does not even see my Shared Library on the NAS (although it will load files from the NAS if I simply use the NAS as a network hard drive). I believe the Firefly media server is still running correctly. I have gone in and deleted Firefly's database and it re-builds the database correctly, so I think Firefly is running correctly.

So, given my configuration, should iTunes see the shared Firefly library on my NAS? If so, any guesses as to why it can’t? If not, will the patch that was mentioned previously work for me?

If I need to apply the patch, can someone please post a more detailed explanation of how to apply the patch? I’m not total hopeless with Linux, but I need a little more detail than what I saw in this thread.

Thanks!
