Hi all,
i am encountering a very strange problem with mt-daapd: Running on FreeBSD 6.2, while compiling mt-daapd and installing and starting it works flawlessly, the mt-daapd-entry just disappears randomly from iTunes. While mt-daapd is still running (the process, i mean), nothing else but restarting it will work to make iTunes see it again. This happens (more or less) reproducibly with the current stable as well with current snapshot versions that i tried.
is this a known problem and is a fix available possibly?

Sounds like your fbsd box is blocking incoming multicast. Allow udp port 5353 from 224.0.0.251, or see if there is a way to allow all local multicast.
