Server Software for Pinnacle/Roku SoundBridge

Message

BoBoeBoe · Post by **BoBoeBoe** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 9:58 pm

I am looking for a stable server solution for a SoundBrigde.

I tried the mt-daapd 0.2.4.1 but the Soundbridge doesn't seem to be compatible with it.

When I tried the stable nightly build version svn-1586 it turned out to be very unstable. It might be the result of the fact that I did not compile it correctly but since there is no ebuild available for it since september 2005 does not give me a warm feeling.

Then there seems to be an alternative twonkyvision. It seems to support the Soundbridge but costs another 30$ which is not really an issue but the website does nog give me a very warm feeling as well.

So I am looking for the right alternative preferentially open source. Anyone?

Hello,

I have been using Firefly svn1586 on an nslu2 (ARM CPU) with debian for one year or so. It was very stable. Now, I am looking for tips to compile it correctly on my new Gentoo x86 home server. It must work for sure if it's worked so well on ARM. I will come back here again if I find something.

(That's really too bad there is no ebuild updates

)

Hello,

I installed it this afternoon. I did the following :

Code: Select all

emerge mt-daapd libtool

To be sure, to have every lib and so one. Then, I downloaded the last SVN (svn-1696) and configure it like that :

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-sqlite3 --with-sqlite-includes=/usr/local/include --with-sqlite-libs=/usr/local/lib --enable-oggvorbis --enable-flac --enable-upnp --enable-musepack --prefix=/usr

Then, I performed the install :

Code: Select all

make
make install

... and it works perfectly!

Hope it could help.
Regards,

Trying to do the same, but ran into a problem.

I get:

But...I have sqlite installed, so do you know what might be the problem?

Code: Select all

# equery l sqlite
[ Searching for package 'sqlite' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [M ] dev-db/sqlite-3.3.5-r1 (3)

# which sqlite3
/usr/bin/sqlite3

I used the same "configure" line you did above, and I'm using /etc/init.d/mt-daapd to try to start the daemon.

No joy.

ideas?
TIA.

Maybe, try to change sqlite to sqlite3

db_type = sqlite3

... in your /etc/mt-daapd.conf

Yes. Thanks. That did the trick.

Now the older version of mt-daapd I had installed supported my aac files, why now would I get this?

I don't really know because i dont have any .aac files. Did you check if you added support for .mp4 files in the mt-daapd.conf and if the plugin is supported (if there is any) ?

Yea. I have m4a, etc in my conf file for allowed extensions. It appears that m4a is not parsing properly, or I'm missing something. I did not find an m4a/aac specific pluging. Looking at the readme it should handle aac natively.

I'll keep looking into it and report if I find anything.

thanks.
