    I finally managed to get mt-daapd to see all my FLAC files, but now I can’t seem to get it to see the share from iTunes. I don’t see any relevent errors in the log, and I can access port 3689 on the problematic machine. What should I do?

    Here’s the log:

    What platform and version, and how did you get the server? From a binary package or compiled?

    Any firewall on the server machine? (or the client machine?). Is the client configured in iTunes prefs to search for shared libraries?

    how is the client connected with respect to the server? Is it wireless with the server wired? If the wireless client is plugged into a wired connection, does it see it?

    I used a binary package for i686 from the nightlies, mt-daapd_0.9-svn-1586_etch_i386.deb

    As far as I know theres no firewall on either the client or the server. The client is XP SP2 with the latest iTunes (7.3.1.3). The server is almost a basic install of Debian 4.0.

    iTunes prefs is set to look for shared libraries.

    Everything is connected with a wired connection. The same server is sharing Samba shares to the same computer, and that works fine.

    As a quick update, the web interface says:

    Client IP Action
    192.168.1.106 Serving xml-rpc method

    It at least acknowledges that is has a client. I just can’t get it to show up…

    Thats the culprit.

    Without plugins, it just has bare web-interface functionality.
    Check out the plugin_dir in your mt-daapd.conf and see if the user that firefly runs as has proper access to it.
    Probably read on the files, and RX on the directories 😉

    That was the problem.

    For some reason, my .conf file was pointing to /usr/lib/mt-daapd/plugins for plugins, but the plugins are actually stored in /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins.

    Weird.

    Thanks so much!
