just a follow up.
I discovered that the m3u files only make it as a playlist if they are in the same directory as the mp3's and don't have any path.
example: test.m3u
song1.mp3
song2.mp3
To create a playlist where the songs are in different directories, you have to use the WEBUI http://bubba:49152/
create a container with class object.container.playlistContainer
In this container/playlist you can that create a class object.item.audioItem.musicTrack with Mimetype audio/mpeg and use an absolute path in the location (ex: /var/samba/public/music/S/Slipknot.mp3)
I find the WEBUI terrible, so i will try to hack the sqlite database :)
cheers

Hi Eek.

It really should work with paths as well. We have that while testing. Could it be the possible issue with slashes (windows \ vs Unix / ) as i mentioned above? That would give the exact problem you are describing.

Hi Tor,

I tried al kinds of slashes...
but nothing seems to work in my case.
It only works if there is no path.

After upgrading to latest version from Excito, FTD crashes/dies when adding more than one torrent. Or sometimes even at the first torrent.
I've tried with various torrents to see if some of them were malformed, but the problem seems to be fairly general.

Anyone else seen this?
Yes, I have the same problem. I just tried to add four torrents shortly after each other to the torrent directory. I haven´t tried via the web-ui.

tor wrote:Regarding playlists,

Eek is right it should work. We have tested it with m3u lists, pls lists should work as well, and they will be expanded in the "Upnp-filesystem" in the folder Playlists in the root. (Ie Audio,PC Directory, Photos, Playlists, Video)

So simply place a correctly formatted m3u list anywhere in the storage/{music,pictures,video} with relative paths to the content. And on the next rescan it should be available in the Playlists folder. (If you don't want to wait for it, stop and start upnp in the Web UI under Services.)

Things that might be problems here. Is things like incorrect relative paths. Wrong pathdelimiter, it most likely has to be unix /-slashes instead of windows \-slashes between directories in the playlist (This is not however verified) Wrong charset, it might be problems if the playlist content is not writtwen in the same characterset as the file/path names in the filesystem.

/Tor [/list]
Can we have the contents of a simple (small!) playlist uploaded or displayed here and an explination of which directory it was stored in and why.
this may be a big help to some of us.

I have problems with downloads after the upgrade too :(

It seems that the downloaded does not close the file when it has finished downloading, so the last buffer-full is not written.

If you then clear the file from the downloads list it flushes the buffer and you can use the file - but it is a pain.

I don't know when it started, if it was with the upgrade (I think so), but lately I have had problems downloading torrents too. I've tried a lot of different torrents from multiple trackers. I save the torrents in the torrent-directory, then the web-admin freezes. It works again if I delete the torrent.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  bubbamon: Depends: bubba (>= 0.51.2-1) but 0.50.1-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
can i run

Code: Select all

apt-get -f upgrade
what will this do to my bubba?

Hi,

JohanSalo, you seem to have a strange setup. What apt is saying is basically that you have bubbamon installed or am trying to install it. Bubbamon however needs bubba package of at least version 0.51.2 but you only have 0.50.1.

Have you earlier tried to install bubbamon and that failed?

The reason that you wont get the latest version of the bubba package is that you "only" said apt-get update. Apt will then refuse to update packages with added dependencies. Which happens with the bubba package from time to time.

Could you try to do a apt-get dist-upgrade instead? I think that it will solve your problems.

If you run apt-get -f upgrade it will most likely uninstall bubbamon to solve the conflict.

Regarding the problems with the download manager/ftd.

It seems like some of you have problems with this since the update. Could you either mail us on support@excito or add a note in the support forum and we could see if we could figure out what is wrong.

Is there a way to roll back this 'upgrade' to the previous version?

At the moment the downloads are useless and render the product "Unfit for purpose"

Another thing... Is the ftp downloader supposed to be able to download files > 2Gb? The manual does not mention any limit, and indeed shows a 2.2Gb file in the sample screen (although this is a torrent).

I have had two downloads fail in a row, both needed a reboot to get the server running again and both failed at exactly 2Gb.

Hi GettinSadda,

Sorry to hear that you have problems with the downloader. There really should be no big difference in the last two updates.

Could you please open a support issue, email support@excito.com, with this and we will see what we can do.

Regarding FTP downloads. Yes they are indeed limited to 2GB. This should be fixed in the Etch upgrade though. (Its a limitation in the library we use, libcurl, which is a newer version in Etch)
