Installing MADPLAY

[pfugl]

I am not able to install madplay from the unslug wl500g repository.
It requires the esound package, which is not in the repository.
If anyone has had succes with this - please help.
I am using OLEG firmware latest version.

Pfugl,

If you want stream MP3 music to network try mt-daapd package!
This tool very configurable. Use Apple's iTunes player to listen stream.

command:

ipkg install mt-daapd

iTunes Player: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Thanks for the tip - looks very promising.
I have installed and configured it, but I cannot get it working.
A PS shows 4 instances of mt-daapd started. I would then expect that I could see the streaming port 3689 open in listening state in a netstat, but it does not show up.
Neither can I connect from the Itunes player open stream.
There are no errors in the log.

Any ideas - perhaps I have misunderstood something.

1. Edit mt-daapd.conf
most important settings:
* admin_pw mt-daapd
* servername YourServerName (this name appears in iTunes Shared Music section)
* playlist /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.playlist
* runas YourRouterLoginName

2. Echo these commands into a script file:
killall mt-daapd
mt-daapd -f -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

then run script

3. eTunes: Advanced - Open Stream
* Add your: IP address and port for example 192.168.1.1:3689
* YourServerName appears in iTunes Shared Music section
* Click it
* Enjoy :-)

Thanks Soundrel. I've got it working now, and it's working very well I think. :)

Well - looks like I was happy a bit early. It works only when it is started with the -f (foreground) switch, so I modified the S60mt-daapd script adding this switch.
However this prevented the startup of my thttp and samba.
If mt-daapd is started as a background task, there is no tasks listening on port 3689.
Any ideas?
