Hi there, wonder if anyone can shed some light on this issue.

I am running Firefly (svn-1586) on an Icybox 4220 NAS, works perfectly (great software) - only on my M1000 the Library shows up twice, that is I get two libraries with the same name. One library works as expected, the other appears to work fine but has some quirks, for example, when browsing artists, then drilling down to Albums it will list ALL albums, not just the albums associated with that Artist.

The NAS comes bundled with an earlier version of mt-daapd, but that is turned off.

iTunes clients on the network only see one library.

Any pointers to a solution would be helpful.

Have you tried going into the System Configuration menu and selecting "Restart SoundBridge". That will force the SoundBridge to re-learn the available servers and may remove the duplicate.

Thanks, tried this but it didn't make any difference. Nor does a complete power-off.

But resetting the SB always fixes it. Have you tried restarting the NAS?

Thanks, nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I have tried retsarting every link in the chain but to no avail!

How have you turned it off? Sounds like you have two Firefly services running.

Thanks for your input. I suspected two services. The built-in daap is turned off in the user interface of the NAS. My unix knowledge is limited, but a check of the services running using ps ax doesn't turn up anything suspicious - although just now I notice two references to the name of the server (The_Music_Box) against daap and rsp protocols. Could this be the problem. As a previuos correspondent said, I might be better asking on the Firefly forums.

I expect turning it off at the NAS UI has permanently disabled it, unlike if you had simply clicked the Stop server button on the Firefly web config page. The two entries for rsp and daap protocols is correct for a single instance.

Is it possible you have Bonjour running on a PC, it may be repeating the FF server multicast? (With my FF setup on a Linskstation Pro, I have to have Bonjour running on a PC, but I think that is a problem with that build.)

Sorry I cannot be any more help with *nix.

By way of an update, the helpful folk on the Firefly forums suggest that the SB should ignore the DAAP server if an RSP server is found (presumably if at the same ip with the same service name). It looks like my SB is not behaving like that. Perhaps a firmware issue? I need to check whether I have the latest firmware.

I have the same issue from time to time and resetting the SoundBridge always fixes it. To me it seems the second server only appears after I've select a preset that is bound to a playlist from that server.

I guess that it somehow mixes up RSP and DAAP (although I have no idea why the second server has messed up information like mentioned above). So my money is also on a SoundBridge firmware issue. Maybe disabling DAAP in firefly will help (was to lazy to check since I rarely use these presets now that I know of this problem).
