Just looking for a little technical clarification. I set up Fireplay on my WHS box and it works fine inside and outside my network. Except for at work, I get the "connecting......" . I know they have the network clamped down and our workstations only have 80 and 443 open.

So, even though FirePlay is running through IIS (on port 80), is it still making a call through port 9999? That is all I can think of? Unless there is some type of packet signature that FirePlay uses that the firewall is rejecting?

BTW, this is one of the best applications I've ever used. Very well done!!!

Yes; it still uses 9999 or whatever port firefly is set to use. This can be changed through the firefly interface to another port if you need to.

Hi,
not sure if I'd better start a new topic or add up to this one. Let's try to add to this one first.

I'm running FireFly media server under Windows Vista. Works like a charm after installing FirePlay under C:\Program Files\Firefly Media Server\admin-root

I can reach the Fireplay player with http://my.dyndns.host:9999/fireplay.html

I can play all files after entering firefly as user name and my given password for administrator.
I would like to be able to play files without the password. I did not set a password for music access, only for administrator.

In the readme it says:
To access the admin-root/ directory you need to supply the admin password, set in the FireFly configuration file, mt-daapd.conf.

If you want to share you're music with other people, you might be unwilling to reveal you admin password. You then have the option of putting the files on another http-server, like apache or whatever.


I'm not sure which files I have to put on another server. Am I right reading that I have to install apache on my PC, have it run on another port and copy the 3 files to the apache wwwroot ?

Would that be the only way to allow access to the music without having to enter a username and password ?
(with the FirePlay add-in in WHS 2003 my collegue has it running without the password. I'm not running WHS so I can not use the add-in)

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards,
Ben

Probably the easiest thing for you is to enable IIS and then follow the Wiki guide.

Thanks for the fast reply. Running Windows Vista Home Basic, so the IIS happened to be not usable for this purpose. Did install SP1, 4 hours later did install SP2, but still with no luck for a complete IIS.

I have been looking around for an easy to manage webserver prefferable with CMS so I did install a 45 day trial from Barricadedrivepro. I did copy the files to the cmsdocs folder, did add the domainname and port to fireplay.html and all works like a charm now !

Thanks again, best regards,

Ben

(Who's going to make a Ghost from this complete new installed Vista with SP1 and 2 to save a lot of time in the future...)

Hi. I am running WHS (built myself). Everything runs fine on my server. I do have php, wordpress and sql plugins running fine. I followed the wiki for Fireplay for WHS and installed the bonjour printing, then the fireplay for windows. I attempted to open port 9999 on my router firewall...

So I installed the Fireplay for WHS plugin.... I logged back into the WHS console and I do not see the Fireplay. I see that the plugin is installed, but there is no Fireplay option.... I also pointed a browser to my homeserver/fireplay/ and the screen come up... "connecting to homeserver... butthe rest of the data is empty... what on earth am I missing? Please help.... Thanks... ~ Ed

Are you sure firefly is running on 9999? you can either check on the server on the firefly config page or try http://server:9999

Well the Firefly config page states it is running and on port 9999... but when I try to point the browser to http://my homeserver.com/:9999 it claims page not found. Any other help? My website seems to run fine otherwise. I have plugin wordpress working fine.

Ok.. I checked a few things. I believe the FirePlay Media Server is running ok. But I am unable to see it at the http://myhomeserver.com/:9999 always gives me a page not found. However, if I run the http://myhomeserver/fireplay/ I get a screen with all my music... sorted by genre/artist/album/file. I suppose this is the original FirePlay screen? I am able to weed thru my music files and even play files... so I know the FirePlay is working... just isn't working on port 9999. And if I look in my WHS, I still don't see the FirePlay in the options. Can some please help? Also, I have the port 9999 opened in my router firewall...

Your first URL is bad, I hope that is a typo. It should be http://myhomeserver.com:9999 for accessing Firefly, but to use the Fireplay add-in you want to access it as you describe: http://homeserver.com/Fireplay. If that is working, then I don't see any problem.

There is no Fireplay options in the Server Console, just in the Add-Ins tab showing that it's installed.

Yeah, it was a typo. It is working fine at the Fireplay url. And thanks for the clarification. I thought there would be some kind of plugin configuration (besides Fireplay media server config).
