After waiting for ages for this feature to be added to my Duo V2, I activated the Firefly server myself using SSH. Its not hard to do. You need to install the SSH Access add-on, connect to the NAS with an SSH client such as PuTTY (free download; google it), edit the 'services' file at /etc/default/services (change the entry DAAP=0 to DAAP=1) to switch on the Firefly service, then edit the entry in the mt-daapd config file to point Firefly to the location of your music folder on your NAS and any other config tweaks you want to do. All this is done using Notepad and standard Linux shell commands via PuTTY (Google the commands for changing directory, listing the directory contents and copying a file from one folder to another - that's all you'll need. Using PuTTY, make a copy of these two files to the root of the NAS (/c), edit them using Notepad. Then use PuTTY again to copy the edited files back to their locations to overwrite the original (you want to keep backups of the unedited versions). Then just access the config web page for Firefly using http://your_ReadyNas_IP:3689
