Firefly

[sollie]

Ok, you are warned, I would not buy a Ruku Soundbridge until it is clear that someone here actually has a running recent version of mt-daapd/firefly on his WL-700gE. Several people say that they have, but none of them has actually tried a Roku Soundbridge, as far as I know.

The Roku complains about Twonkymusic not having a search method (admitting it does not have one of his own), so it needs the power of Firefly. The Noxon audio 2 works flawlesly with Twonkymusic, but can't understand mt-daapd. They are mutually exclusive, so to say. Furthermore, if I have both Twonkymusic and (the 2006-stable version of) mt-daapd running, the Roku only sees the Twonkymusic-server. Only if I stop this server, mt-daapd shows up, but is regarded as not compatible by the Roku.

Thanks, i will buy a NOXON2. Also becoz of the buttons ontop of the device.
I hate buttonless devices (no need to search for remote).

Just make sure you have Windows XP somewhere, because the Noxon can only be updated with that kind of stuff. Not via the webinterface, or more cleverly as the Roku does: update itself when connected to the internet.
Furthermore: the delivered version of Twonkymusic is rel 3. Rel 4.2 is payware (but cheap), you get a voucher worth EUR 10 to upgrade.

I was planning a side-by-side comparison for the two music clients, but you ar too fast for me...
good luck

Any updates ???

Sollie,

Any updates ???

If you mean about Firefly: it will come soon I hope. I just managed to get ogg-transcoding to work, but it gives only noise.
But I hope to post a nice HOW-TO for Firefly for Roku tomorrow, if nothing bites me. And I have been bitten very often lately, just by constantly trying to get some music out of the 'soundbridge'. The bridge was closed all the time.

But if you mean: about a comparison between the Roku and the Noxon, you have to wait somewhat longer.

Just be patient with me.

Well, enough, you could help.
The guy that posted this post http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org...pic.php?t=5979
says that he found a solution on that forum for the noise.

Maybe you could try to find what he means, that would be nice, and speed up things a bit.

Thanks

I hope I did not forget anything, and of course: comments are welcome.
