[gmediaserver-devel] SMC EzStream ... unfortunately no success for me.

[Jiri Wichern]

Hello everyone

I bougt a SMCWAA-G a few days ago. Unfortunately I haven't been able to
get gmediaserver working with it yet. The server crashes (kills itself)
almost instantly with this output:

---

When I start it the second time the server stays 'up', the friendly
name shows on the SMCWAA, however when I try to browse it, I can't
access the music and only two small packets are transmitted between
server and client:

---

The server output doesn't get past "Listening for control point connections..."
When i use a ctrl-c I get a (I think) normal shutdown sequence:

---
Received INT signal
Shutting down UPnP MediaServer...
Deinitializing UPnP subsystem...
gmediaserver process id 9882 terminated normally
---

When I start the server again after this it crashes similar to the first run.
I've tested all [--profile]s unfortunately with exactly the same results.
System parameters: I'm using the newest libupnp (1.2.1a), a Linux 2.6
series kernel on an athlonxp system and GCC 3.2.2. I have not included
id3lib (3.8.3) because it seems to be totally uncompilable on my system
(which can be expected for a piece of software unmaintained for at
least 19 months - according to the CVS repository)

I'll tinker with it the upcomming week, hoping to find a way to make it
work. However if someone has this software working with an SMCWAA-G,
I'll appreciate any information you can spare.
