Bekijk de volledige versie : Problem with Itunes
Hey, i just got my Wl700gE last week and already I've had quite a number of problems with it, especially when it came to upgrading the firmware. But that is not my main issue. My primary purpose for buying this device is to use it as a home media server of sorts. I managed to get iTunes to work with the device before upgrading the firmware, but turning off and turning on the enable media server option in the web interface control. However, eversince I upgraded the firmware to 1.0.4.6, iTunes across my machines at home have not been able to discover the music on the Wl700. Is there something that I am missing here?
Also, anyone with any other recommendations with how we can get Asus to improve the documentation for this device?

Hallo
i have same problem ....
have you any news or help about this problem?
Regards
Yogi
I need a favour.
I've got Wl50gP box, but I really need iTunes server, without an external firmware. I tried to install mt-daapd 0.2.4 mipsel ipkg, I mean i wrote the config file and run it from the hidden admin page (router.ip/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp), but nothing happens. I think the version is wrong. I need somebody, who download the mt-daapd and mt-daapd.conf file from asus wl700gE. Please someone!
Hi viktite,
i will do that, but could you give me more detailed
information about it.
I have not enough backgrung knowledge about
you request.

First, open a web browser, enter url: http://192.168.1.1/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp and enter admin login.
On the page type "ps" (without commas), and press refresh button (not enter).
You will see the running processes. Then find the line mt-daapd. Then, please copy and paste that line here.
Then I can tell you the second step...
Hi viktike, I have the same problem, the mt-daapd does not start. I tried starting it manually by executing the startup script in /opt/etc/init.d and the deamon did not start. It doesn't write any error messages. I think the mt-daapd.conf I set should be good.
I would appricciate any steps to try to solve this problem.
thanx

could you please clarify? i've had my asus for months and note once has itunes recognized the share.
* "Enable Media Server" is set to yes on applications.asp
* my music in the /Music folder. i do have several subdirectories (genres) but some mp3s are in the base folder
* itunes 6 is set to look for shared library (i would prefer not to upgrade to itunes 7, which was not released when the wl-700ge debuted)
in your instructions, 1) the url you give doesn't work; i assume you mean the default status page, 2) i have no idea what you mean by page type -- is this a reference to modifying the url; if so what is the full url to processes, 3) how can i determine if mt-daapd is running?
i would consider installing one of the community firware packages, but to be honest that is still daunting. if that is in fact the best path to having the itunes share functionality, which package is best? any tips for non linux-heads?

i have succesfully installed mt-daapd 0.2.4-2 using the following configuration
web_root /opt/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port 3689
admin_pw XXXXXXXX
db_dir /opt/var/mt-daapd
mp3_dir /shares/MYVOLUME1/MYSHARE1/Music
servername WL700GE
runas guest
playlist /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.playlist
extensions .mp3,.m4a,.m4p
art_filename _folderOpenImage.jpg
rescan_interval 600
always_scan 0
process_m3u 1
this enables playlists for your shared itunes-lib (both dynamic and static)
to use this you have to start mt-daapd with /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf from your rc.local

When i try to install mt-daapd, i get this:
[root@Meterkast ~]$ ipkg install mt-daapd
Installing mt-daapd (0.2.4-2) to root/...

Configuring mt-daapd
syntax error

ERROR: mt-daapd.postinst returned 255

Does anybody know why?

Sorry for answering after so much time ;)
You have to edit mt-daapd.postinst and change
# !/bin/sh
into
# !/bin/bash
of course you must have bash installed on your System :D

Thanks it works. :D
I used: # !/opt/bin/bash
