Yet another Firefly Server iTunes 10.5+ issue

No. Firefly will stream to Firefly clients such as Apple iTunes. It does not stream to the AppleTV.

Edit: You can of course hack the AppleTV to install something like Plex on it and install Plex Media Server on the ReadyNAS.

i have a question it might be dumm but i have your same problem, does reinstalling the firmware erase the data on the harddrive? i have 2 tb of info there i dont want to loose, i thought that wenn you to a firmware reset the raid will be reconstructed and this iimplies deleting and starting a new volume....

thanks your replies

Don't confuse OS/firmware re-install with factory default.

Firmware re-install leaves data intact.

Factory default wipes all data, settings, everything.

Where can i get the 1.0.3 Firefly update? Have looked everywhere for it! :shock:

What version of RAIDiator are you running?

Like ijhammo, I too can't find the Firefly 1.03 update. The release notes for RAIDiator 4.1.10 (Sparc) for ReadyNAS NV+ are pretty thin and don't seem to indicate that the Firefly update is included. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you installed 4.1.10? Firefly should be able to stream your Music to iTunes after that firmware update has been installed. The firmware update is more reliable than installing the add-on

The Firefly update was included in 4.1.9. Since there is no change to Firefly between 4.1.9 and 4.1.10 there is no mention of it in the 4.1.10 Release Notes. Unfortunately there is no mention of it in the 4.1.9 Release Notes either but if you compare the 4.1.8 and 4.1.9 GPL you will see some changes for Firefly (mt-daapd). See http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=64509

I have compared the GPL of 4.1.9 and 4.1.10 and there are no GPL changes for Firefly (mt-daapd)

I would suggest updating to 4.1.10

If you like you could update to 4.1.11-T1 which has a further update to the iTunes (Firefly) service: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=361838#p361838

Thanks for the quick reply and links, mdgm. I'm (still, intentionally) running 4.1.7 and will consider the update to 4.1.10 if I can't resolve the Firefly issue that just cropped up. I was under the mis-impression that the Firefly 1.03 update was a seperate installable add-on.

If you really want to you can try the add-on: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=58261

Though the recommended solution is to install the firmware update.

I have found the interface on my iPad safari to get the firefly screen up by going to 192.168.0.2:3689/config.html but I don't know how to point it to my media section on my readynas ultra 4. I want iTunes on my iPad to refer to my readynas music drive area and connect. Can someone help me complete the entries below I have cut and paste. Thank you so much.
