Anyone has got this to work?
I have installed mt-daapd via ipkg and i have got it to work from iTunes. But my roku doesn't seems to find it.
I read some about it here:
Pinnacle distributes the Roku Soundsbridge throughout parts of Europe. Their versions are slightly cheaper, but dont include daap protocol due to not having a license from Apfel. Hence you need to use the roku protocol which is NOT in the stable 0.2.x build. Thus you need a recent beta, but the web download link may well point to a so new version that the libs aint available for the unslung in time. And the standard feeds dont have the beta. Nasty thing, but theres an easy way to install the newest working beta version for NSLU - I took me a while to find this:
1. echo "src firefly http://ipkg.fireflymediaserver.org/armeb" > /etc/ipkg/firefly.conf
2. ipkg update
3. ipkg install mt-daapd
This beta mt-daapd has quite some improvements over the stable, like its way faster indexing of large music collections (factor 10 observed easily) and certain transcoding options for ogg, flac etc. which may make it worthwhile for non Pinnacle users as well.
I do not know if this applies to my Soundbridge (have a M1001) .. anyways .. anyone can tell me how to do this "trick" on the wl500g? The folder etc/ipkg doesn't exist ..
