Description
Firefly Media Server, previously known as "mt-daapd" is a service to stream digital music to Roku Soundbridge devices and iTunes. Read more...
This how-to will install Firefly Media Server to allow music stored on an SME server to be available to the local LAN.
The original RPM was produced by Gerald Schwarzecker and updated in Q1-2009 by Mark Leman to the use Firefiy media server version svn-1696.
Installation
Configure the dag repository
Extra packages are required which are available in the dag repository.
The following command will configure the dag repository on SME Server. EDIT NOT COMPLETE!
To create an entry in the database for the epel repository we open put the following commands in a terminal
window or in a shell window:
/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set epel repository \
Name 'SME Server - epel' \ BaseURL 'http://<http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch' \ EnableGroups yes \ GPGCheck yes \ Visible no \ status disabled
To enable the changes:
signal-event yum-modify
Just to be sure, give yum a fresh start:
yum clean all
After adding it to the database we have to update the changes to the configuration file:
signal-event yum-modify
Enable Multicast traffic
Enable Multicast network traffic discussed here...
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq touch /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/40DenyMulticast signal-event remoteaccess-update
Download RPM
wget http://www.leman.net/rpms/mt-daapd-svn.1696-3.sme7.0.i386.rpm
Install
Yum will automatically pull in the required dependencies from the Dag repository.
yum install mt-daapd-svn.1696-3.sme7.0.i386.rpm --enablerepo=dag signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Usage
When the server comes back from reboot you should be able to find Firefly's web control panel by browsing from your LAN:
http://your-server:3689
The user name is anything. The password is 'mt-daapd'.
Navigate to the 'configuration' page to change the password and add some music directories, for example if you create an ibay called 'music' then the path you enter in the mt-daapd control panel under "Configuration / Music Folder" is:
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/music/files/
