Well

i manage to instal cvs 20050713 but itune 4.9.0.17 cant seems to see the server.
any know issues i am not aware of ?

The only thing I can think are the two well known issues:

1. Firewall stopping traffic to 224.0.0.251 udp port 5353.

2. Multiple mDNS responders… if you are running howl, make sure that howl is running, and that mt-daapd was configured with –enable-howl. Conversely, if it wasn’t configured with –enable-howl, make sure howl isn’t running.

That’s about it.

Well,

i did some test and it’s appear than on Wireless Network Itunes cannot see the mt-dappd Server
i use a laptop as test machine and here is the result :
laptop Run :
– Windows XP pro
– Itunes 4.9.017
– Firewall Off

* laptop on wireless network : cannot see the Server
* Laptop on wired network : Can See the Server

Do somebody have any experience with this issue ?

Only the exact same experience, and no solution. Windows XP laptop, wireless (802.11g) network with WPA encryption. I find that mt-daapd appears intermittently; if I leave the laptop for a few minutes (maybe 15 or whenever I finish a beer), mt-daapd will appear.
I find that my powerbook can find mt-daapd much easier than windows. As in it actually works right away. Also, I’ve been experiencing this since at least 20050620.

Strange, as none of the mdns code has changed since 0.2.1.1. Before actually.. since Januaryish.

And if it works on wired, but not wireless, I might think that perhaps the wireless router isn’t routing multicast?

Can’t think of what else it might be…

Well i dig a little bit more and it is not mt-dappd related.
because Itunes cannot see other itunes on my laptop either.

so i will continue to check and hopefully found why , but ron dont worry anymore it is not mt-daapd issue 🙂

Was pretty sure it wasn’t. 🙂
