Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Hello.

 

I've been googling around a bit but I cant find a solution to this...

I cant seem to login to my Itunes Media Server. I have checked the password from /etc/mt-daapd, but I cant find a userename there, so I tried blank, admin, Admin, user, User, users, mt-daapd and well pretty much all I can think of. The weird thing (?) is that my password is listed two times, where the *general' password has a space in it before the two last letters. How can that be?

 

Anyway, is there a hidden username somewhere I cant find, or can i reset the whole config for the server, and in that case what would the username/password be?

 

/etc/mt-daapd:

 

[general]
web_root = /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port = 3689
admin_pw = #########
db_type = sqlite3
db_parms = /var/cache/mt-daapd
mp3_dir = /c/media/_Media/Musikk/Mp3
servername = NAS Itunes Server
runas = root
extensions = .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.flc,.flac,.wav
ssc_codectypes = flac
ssc_prog = /usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh
logfile = /var/log/mt-daapd.log
rescan_interval = 86400
scan_type = 2
password = ######### ##

[scanning]
process_playlists = 1

[plugins]
plugin_dir = /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins
plugins = out-daap.so,rsp.so,ssc-script.so

Hello Finny,

 

When you get to the FrontView and click Services > Streaming services, does iTunes have an option for settings? Maybe you can post a screen capture. What is the firmware version, by the way?

 

Welcome to the community!

 

Regards,

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Hello, and thanks for both your reply and nice welcome:)

 

I am running what I believe is the latest firmvare on this old thing: RAIDiator-x86 4.2.31

 

As you can see on the screen capture there is no option for settings, exept the link to '192.168.0.11/3689' which sends me directly to the login window, and then the failure in image 2.

 

(I dont have a "tree" to click on in the menu bar to insert images as according to the instructins in the forum, so i'll link to them)

 

Frontview: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0xgnObEOOayMnRYSXdPOFItM00

Error: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0xgnObEOOaycVkxdV9SbHV0UWM (Sorry it's in Norwegian, but you get the drift, wrong username/password, try again)

Turning off the service gives me no options at all: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0xgnObEOOayREdKZTlMcHNlSDA

Hello Finny,

 

Username is 'admin'.

You can download your System > Config Backup in Frontview, extract the zip contents and look at that file.

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Thanks.

 

What file should i look in? I thought it was the /etc/mt-daapd.conf file which i copyed in in my first post. But I was on the wrong track? Username admin and the password from that file does not work. Nor does blank username or password in any combination.

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Hello Finny,

 

It should be in /etc/mt-daapd.conf. Have you tried turning it off and on? Can you post a screen capture?

Hi again.

 

In my first post you can see what's in the /etc/mt-daapd.conf file, my confusion over the fact that the password is listed twice, but the second time with a space in it, and links to screenshots (because I cant post images here) Yes, I have tried turning it on and of.

Hello Finny,

 

The username is itunes server and the password is the one that says password. Can you PM me the screenshot? If you are familiar with SSH, you can actually change it from there.

Hello again.

 

(The forum is kicking me out just as 'I press post, so this might end up as a triple post... sorry if that happends)

 

"The username is itunes server and the password is the one that says password"  <-- This does not work eighter. Nor does "NAS Itunes Server" for that matter.

 

I can try to PM you screenshots, but could you try these links first? I have no clue why the previously ones doesnt work.

 

Frontview The only option is the link to Firefly setup that prompts me with the login screen.

Login failure This is in Norwegian, but tells me that the login failed, wrong user/password.

Service turned off No options at all.

 

I have some experience with SSH, but it's been a few years, so i would need some guidance;)

 

The /etc/mt-daapd.conf file:

(notice that the "admin_pw" and "password" is the same frase, but for some reason the "password" frase has one added space inside it, in front of the last two digits")

[general]
web_root = /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port = 3689
admin_pw = ##########
db_type = sqlite3
db_parms = /var/cache/mt-daapd
mp3_dir = /c/media/_Media/Musikk/Mp3
servername = NAS Itunes Server
runas = root
extensions = .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.flc,.flac,.wav
ssc_codectypes = flac
ssc_prog = /usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh
logfile = /var/log/mt-daapd.log
rescan_interval = 86400
scan_type = 2
password = ######## ##
[scanning]
process_playlists = 1
[plugins]
plugin_dir = /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins
plugins = out-daap.so,rsp.so,ssc-script.so

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Did you manually configure the password?  On my system it is blank, and the login screen does not prompt.

 

You might also try root as the username.

 

PRO:/etc# cat mt-daapd.conf
[general]
web_root = /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port = 3689
admin_pw =
db_type = sqlite3
db_parms = /var/cache/mt-daapd
mp3_dir = /c/media/Music
servername = Itunes Server
runas = root
extensions = .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.flc,.flac,.wav
ssc_codectypes = flac
ssc_prog = /usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh
logfile = /var/log/mt-daapd.log
rescan_interval = 86400
scan_type = 2
process_m3u = 1

[plugins]
plugin_dir = /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins
plugins = out-daap.so,rsp.so,ssc-script.so

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Hello.

 

To be honest, i cannot remember configuring a password, but it is not a default one. It's actually the same as the admin password for the NAS. So eigther I configured it some odd years ago (when i didnt have any i-devices) or it defaulted to the NAS admin password. I'm guessing it was me jerking around when I first got the NAS...  root or Root does not work.

 

Is there really no way to just reset the service to factory settings? I had to reset the NAS not to long ago, and i know I havnt touched the itunes server after that, so resetting the NAS wont help:(

You could try using the conf file I posted above - that is the default.

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Well i'll be damned! That was a good idea, but it doesnt work! I double and tripple checked that I upload your empty conf file. When I start the service I am promped with a login window again, so I re-downloaded config backup, and the password is back in the file!! There has to be somwhere else this information is stored. (?)

 

I am sooooo close to giving in now....

But nice try StephenB 🙂

Re: Login Itunes media Server ReadyNAS ULTRA 4

Hello Finny,

 

Looking at what you sent, the servername/username is NAS Itunes Server

 

servername = NAS Itunes Server

 

Whatever you have in this admin _pw is the password that should work.

 

admin_pw = ##########

 

Have you also tried clearing browser cache and using another web browser?
