Please help. I have spent nearly a week trying to get my Firefly to work again.

I have recently upgraded my PC to one running Windows SP3 with an Intel Core Duo2 Quad processor 2.34Ghz with 4GB ram. It also has 1.9TB of hard disk space over 4 drives.

My previous PC ran no problem but I cannot get Firefly to find my music or show up in iTunes. I have it configured like this at present.

Firefly Service 1.0 svn-1359 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\firefly.exe
FireflyShell 1.0 svn-1359 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\FireflyShell.exe
RSP Output Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\plugins\rsp.dll
FFMPEG Transcoder Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\plugins\ssc-ffmpeg.dll
WMA Transcoder Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\plugins\ssc-wma.dll
Win32 Event Plugin 1.0 svn-1359 C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Music\plugins\w32-event.dll

The settings above are based on the last good configuration on my old PC so I did the obvious and used them here.

I have been through this forum and have done just about everything I can do but to be honest my level of computer knowledge is not as great as some peoples on here.

I have also tried the lastest stable nightly release (1586) but I get even less joy using this).

When I run firefly now I get this on the log and this is where it stays (latest was about 3 hours)

Log file: firefly.log

2009-03-08 11:46:45 (0fc5c2b9): Starting playlist scan

Firefly also does not show up in iTunes.

To date I have installed the latest version of Bonjour (1.06) I have also run all my music through mp3val - frontend to make sure there are no issues there and have also checked all my id3 tags.

Everytime I do an uninsall and re-install I run windows registry 7 to make ure all back copies are gone.

I am also running Kaspersy Internet security and make sure that I have added Firefly to the trusted zone but still nothing.

My Pinnacle Soundbridge Homemusic is running fine and is connected wirelessly via my Netcomm NB6W router which was what I used on the old PC.

I also have an issue with the web interface. It does not work. All I get is the Internet Explorer is unable to open page message.

Any help here would be greatly accepted.

Firefly's web interface does not become available until after the start-up scan is completed.
If it never becomes available then Firefly is probably crashing during start-up.

Move your music somewhere else and restart Firefly with an empty music directory.
You can do all your debugging & sorting out connection issues with an empty music directory.
Once you've got it sorted, move your music back and initiate a scan.
I'd suggest setting the error log level to 9 so that if the file scanner chokes you will know which file is causing the crash.

Thanks

How do I set the error log to level 9 bearing in mind I cannot seem to ccess the web interface

Cancel the last. Got there and am running a level 9 now.

System worked with a test run so just trying to weed out the bad files causing the hang up
