Hi all

Re: Soundbridge M1001 <-> mt_daapd Firefly on Western Digital MyBook World Edition II (MBWEII).
I recently installed the mt-daapd Firefly server on my MBWEII and I am experiencing problems browsing
my collection on my M1001 when the music collection served grows large (well,... annoyingly small actually but YNWIM!).
The connection between the mt-daapd server and the MBWEII and the M1001 seems fine.
Browsing SMALL collections on the MBWEII is also fine.
However, when I increase the number of songs in the database, at some point the Browse function begins to fail.
(initially just certain browse categories but eventually all as the collection grows)
Unfortunately, I can successfully serve only a very small fraction of my music collection from the MBWEII Firefly server before this problem kicks in bigtime!
My Full Firefly database on Win and MBWEII is approx 20MB, while my browsing functionality completely craps out with less than 25% of my collection loaded!
For reference,
- the M1001 is working fantastic on my Windows PC based Firefly server serving my entire (large) MP3 collection without fault.
- the music files served by both systems are identical.
- the Firefly database size on both servers are comparable.
- the Windows database seems to be sqlite3 while the MBWEII is not, it's a .gdb file.
As far as I can currently ascertain, there seems to be either;
a) a timeout on the browse function of the M1001 that is exceeded by the slower NSLU2 box transfer.
b) some limit on the number of items in the browse category transferred.
c) some specific tag handling problems that are only exposed as the collection grows AND that the two Firefly servers/databases handle differently.
Some Questions:
1, Is there any way to debug what exactly is failing?
I've enabled mt-daapd logging but it shows nothing when the browse fail occurs.
I need Roku Logging!
2. Is there any way to configure the Roku Browse limit/timeout? (if any exists)
3. Is there any way to make the Browse Info transfer more efficient from the mt-daapd server?
4. Is there any way to make the ipkg installer of mt-daapd configure the build with sqlite enabled?
5. should I actually be using the "svn" version of mt-daapd with this MBWEII?
(apart from this browse problem, the straight mt-daapd seems fine)
Any pointers would be very greatly appreciated,... Seriously, there could be hugs!
I'm dying to get my full collection on this NAS device.
Cheers
