Server: Fiesty no firewall
Client: OSX 10.4.10 no firewallWell I had a hard enough time setting up the server but it is up and running. It is accessible thru http. Avahi is running. I had to edit the conf file to redirect the plugins to usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins. I installed libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 as another post suggested. iTunes is checked to look for shared music and still nothing shows up. I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Please help…

Serving 10110 songs. Startup complete in 3 secondsThat almost certainly means you typoed the path for plugin_dir. It loads the plugins before it drops privs, so it isn’t permissions problem.
You can also try running it in the foreground, and it might give more info:
mt-daapd -d9 -f -c /path/to/mt-daapd.conf

02/08/2007 at 3:19 AM #11921PhalanxJCParticipantThis was my output:
Error reading config file (/path/to/mt-daapd.conf)
after running sudo mt-daapd -d9 -f -c /path/to/mt-daapd.conf
It made me run sudoWhich I guess means I am editing the wrong .conf file?
Where else could it be located?03/08/2007 at 2:40 AM #11922rpeddeParticipant@PhalanxJC wrote:

It’s probably either at /etc/mt-daapd.conf, or /etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf, I’m not sure where the debian maintainer puts it.
03/08/2007 at 4:08 AM #11923KymnythParticipantI am having similar problems but with a mDNS error. I am trying to to get to mt-daapd from iTunes on a Windows XP and Windows Vista box. Neither of them see the share. However, they see each other’s shares.
I am running wireless and have varified that multicast was enabled. I am running mt-daapd nightly 1586 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and trying to get to the share from a windows box running iTunes with the latest version 7.3.1. Here is the output from starting mt-daapd in the foreground:

This looks right.
The only reason you shouldn’t be able to see anything would be firewalls. See if you have any firewalling running (“iptables -L”) that would stop the avahi daemon from publishing mdns stuff.
Also, you might try installing the avahi-browser utility and seeing if you can see anything that way. It requires a full desktop gui for that, though.
If you have a machine on the local network, you can try something like bonjour browser (for the mac) to see if you can see any bonjour entries being published on the local network.
Beyond that, the server seems right, so it looks to be a firewall/multicast issue on the local network.

06/08/2007 at 5:28 PM #11927PhalanxJCParticipantany ideas on what else I can try Ron?
