[300] Music Player Daemon (MPD)

Well, you can either use any telnet program you can find like PuTTy and type open it and point it to your NMT Ip address.

Then you would do a ls -l and it will spit out what directories are there. Then do a CD to the directory - basically, you are moving in this path: /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/NETWORK_SHARE/ When you are in the NETWORK_SHARE/ directory, you do another ls - l and look for what is shown. In my case if it said NETWORK_BROWSER only, that meant that the directory was never mounted. I mounted the directory through the remote of the NMT and then the directory, share1 appeared.

Or it might be easier to look at this thread: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...#pid533395 it mentions the filebrowser CSI app. That would do the same thing. Load it and look under the NETWORK_SHARE directory to see what is listed.

Just because you have the share defined in the Preferences does not mean it has been mounted. Let me know if that helps.

You the man! I didn't know how to find out if it was share1 (it was) *major n00b here*. Still no db however but saw it could take a while, so I'll just hold on to my panties and wait, thanks again.

with regard to the following:
Additional Instructions for 300 series
1. Install libvorbisenc2, libvorbis0 and libvorbisfile2 from opkg.

I couldn't find a libvorbisfile2 but instead I installed libvorbisfile3 from opkg...

Yes, it was a typo. libvorbisfile3 only. I'have edited the same on page 1. Thanks

Cool, I got it working without any big problems! Great app, many many thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for... I'm using "mpod" on my ipad to control my audio. Works perfectly.

The only thing I noticed - which is totally unrelated to MPD - is that I still need to have my TV set switched on in order for me to hear sound from my speakers on my Yamaha Audio Video Receiver. Apparently my AVR does not pass through the audio signal to the speakers when it does not notice any signal going to the television set. As soon as I switch on my television set to the correct HDMI channel which is connected to the AVR, the sound starts coming out of the speakers.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do (besides connecting analogue cables from the A-300 to my AVR - as this is my last resort)?

TIA

Do you have a optical or coax wire hooked up from your PCH to receiver? If so, then you should be able to hear the music without turning the tv on. Or, maybe you can take a look in the sound setup of your PCH, maybe the setting is wrong. You probably using your HDMI cable for your sound passthrough.


Good luck,

Martijn.

Thanks for your reply. I'm indeed using HDMI cables between PCH - AVR - TV and the setting on PCH is passthrough as the AVR is able to decode all audio codecs.
This means that the AVR needs the TV to be on as well.

I'll start playing around with some sound settings on the PCH and the AVR.

I've tried to CSI but I always get a message that the ftp server on the nmt couldn't be reached.
I've tried every solution given in other threads like disabling firewalls etc. but still without any result.
I can connect via telnet to my A300 but not by CSI.
Is there mabey another solution for this problem.

In CSI I select all other devices and give IP adress and password. Then it shows all possible apps and webservices etc but when I select i.e. filemanager 1.1.1 to install it shows the errormessage.

I've installed NMT apps on a USB HD and all servers are running including FTP.

Did you tried to ftp using WinSCP to A300?. If works fine, possibly you can try by running CSI as Administrator.

Thanks for your answer
I can ftp to A300 with WinScp without problem.
When I do this I see in the A300 window that opkg.tar is present and
also fileman.tar.

How can I get these installed on my A300?

What should I do to get MPD running on my A300?

Create a folder called 'local' under (I have assumed your Apps folder is under /share/Apps) /share/Apps.
Extract the contents of opkg.tar after you logged into NMT via telnet.
# cd /share/Apps/local
# tar xvf ../opkg.tar

For FileManager, you don't have to install from CSI. It is already available from opkg. Once the above is set, you can access the webinterface and install the required software including mpd.

[Jerom747]

Thanks Vaidyasr
I don't see an Apps folder.
I've created one on root/USB_DRIVE/, so now I see root/USB_DRIVE/APPS/Local in the WinSCp A300 window.
Is this the way it should be?
So now I will follow your telnet instructions?

If this works you've helped a lot of people with the same problem.

After a little trying I've found that I should use

# cd /USB_DRIVE_1/Apps/Local
# tar xvf /USB_DRIVE_1/opkg.tar because the tar file was located at the root of the USB HD.

Now I have in the /USB_DRIVE_1/Apps/Local the following folders /bin, /etc, /gayaui, /lib and /webui.

What should I do next to get opkg running? How to acces the web interface?

[vaidyasr]

If you have installed the CSI, it will created a folder /share/Apps/AppInit with website folder under it. If not, the opkg may not work properly.

Once you make sure that the above is in place, you can run daemon.sh in /share/Apps/local directory as below.

# ./daemon.sh start

[Jerom747]

Now I'm a little confused, sorry for that Vaidyasr.
You're very patient with me being a newbie to this stuff

I start CSI on my windows PC by executing "NMT Community Software Installer.exe"

Should I install CSI on the A300?

There is no /USB_DRIVE_1/Apps/AppInit on the USB HD connected to the A300

On the USB Drive
I see hidden folders /.getnzb, /.download_manager and /.transmission
I also see folders /Apps, /Download, /lost+found, /Music, /Photo and /Video
and there are the following files appinit.cgi, busybox, commands.cgi, installprepare.cgi and opkg.tar in the root of the USB Drive.

As mentioned before in the Apps folder there is a folder /local created etc.
deamon.sh is located in USB_DRIVE_1/Apps/Local/ together with other files appinfo.json, crontab.sh and env

Should I create a folder /Apps/Local/Appinit and copy the files into that folder?
What about the website folder?

When I try to install OPKG with CSI, maybe I should add some extra parameters to install it to the connected USB drive? When looking at the pull down menu of devices at the settings menu, there is made difference between A200 and A200(usb) also.

Till now I choose "all other devices" and add the IP of the A300 in the serverfield; username works with "nmt" and for password I fill the password as set in NMT apps on the A300. But this won't do the job of installing the app, only copy the tar file to the root of the USB.

[vaidyasr]

Install CSI in your PC and select the device as c200/c2xx instead of other devices. It should work fine.
