Problem with Itunes

[infoanarchy]

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...

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/...
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/mt-daapd_0.2.4-2_mipsel.ipk
Configuring mt-daapd
syntax error
postinst script returned status 255
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

Thanks it works.

I used: # !/opt/bin/bash
