mt-daapd doesn't want to work on autostart

[matthewboh]

I decided to try and get my firefly server to start up at boot, and it starts, but it doesn't stream the music. If I bring up Rhythmbox, it looks like it's playing, but no music.

I've checked syslog and everything looks alright. If I do a manual restart on mt-daapd, then everything is fine.

Here's the output from a cold boot

What else should I be looking for?

Thanks

I had trouble getting firefly to start up initially, but magically 24 hours after starting the service for the first time, it just worked perfectly. I also noticed that the number of tracks it had indexed had gone up signifigantly, so I guess it needed to index everything before it would start working, and that took a while on my collection. of course, your millage may very

I waited 15 minute after reboot - and still the same - looks like it's playing, but no sound. Did a restart on mt-daapd and it works fine.

Is there some way to raise the debug level?
