Hi there
I'm wondering if it's only with me or generelly.
When i access the FireFly Media Server http://(mybubbaservername):3689 and login with the login credentials i get a menu Configuration. On clicking the menu it stays empty.
wanted to check if firefly has (like squeezebox server) plugins which i may activate like a last.fm scrobbler
kind regards

Not sure what you mean by the "menu stays empty"? I can click the menus and they seem to work.. See image.

My config is also empty. I know this has been the same on my Bubba 2 and on my B3. I thought this had something to do with my changing the FireFly password. There was a post about it some time ago (maybe one or two years back), but I cannot find it rigt now. You can always make changes to the config file using SSH.

I didn't change the admin passwort nor the music passwort (which isn't set).

I think you're talking about the same topic as Johannes did:

Yeah, i know, but not sure what to change though
I'm more likely thinking about replacing it by a default config file. maybe Johannes has one

OK i saved the file to the bubba storage folder
\\joseserver\storage\backup\bubba2\firefly_config\mt-daapd.conf
then over putty i copied from storage to etc
* logged in with my ssh User and password
* gave administrative rights with su + password
* went to the storage folder:
Code: Select all
cd /home/storage/backup/bubba2/firefly_config/
* copied the file to /etc
Code: Select all
scp mt-daapd.conf /etc/mt-daaped.conf
* Restarted mt-daapd
Still empty Config-Page
I went to the source code of config.html and found following:
Code: Select all
...
<h2>Configuration</h2><span id="toggle_basic_advanced"></span>
<div id="config_not_writable_warning" class="message_div" style="display: none;">Your config file is not writable, you can not change anything using this webpage</div>
...
Well i'm better in html/css then ssh and style="display:none;" tells not to display it (lol, why so?)
well here once more the attribut of mt-daapd.conf
Code: Select all
joseserver:/# ls -l /etc/mt-daapd.conf
-rw------- 1 www-data root 8097 2011-11-24 22:53 /etc/mt-daapd.conf
Any Ideas? -.-

Some googling says this is a browser issue. Can you please try chrome or firefox (if you aren't already)?

I'm using Firefox 8 and tried IE 9 (latest version). i'm not keen on chrome. it "overdrives" my internet settings i.e. cleaning up windows registry is not fun -.-
what kind of browser issue? maybe i should report mozilla

That article suggested it was an IE problem, and that FF worked. I run it in FF (unknown version, how the #! do I check nowdays??) and it works fine.
What if you try ours:

Your Bubba3 demo Firefly Configurartion Site comes properly :/
well i googled now with 'firefly "Your config file is not writable, you can not change anything using this webpage"' and found this command:
Code: Select all
chmod 0666 /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
found out that it changes the attributes of a file.
well bubba locates the mtdaapd.confi on etc. though i corrected the patch though
attributes are now:
Code: Select all
-rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data root 8097 2011-11-24 22:53 /etc/mt-daapd.conf
joseserver:/#
mine is still blank. with same hidden text
well also i placed it on a subfolder of etc (like upon code):
Code: Select all
joseserver:/# mkdir etc/mt-daapd
joseserver:/# scp /etc/mt-daapd.conf /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
joseserver:/# /etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart
no changes ':-|

maybe we should consult the syslog? mt-daapd log file is not configured. but i have no idea where the sys log is located.
