itunes 7.0.1.8

[johnnybe]

Hello,

I just tried to install mt-daapd on my debian box. I’ve used the current nightly tar 1393.
When I connect from an itunes6 version on OSX everything works fine.
But on winxp running the current itunes 7.0.1.8 it doesnt connect proerly.
I can see the server in my list, but when I want to open it itunes just keeps loading and nothing happens.
The last entries in the log on my server ist the “unknown meta code” stuff. There’s also no sign of network traffic, so I can’t really believe it’s trying to load anything, though it’s quite a big music library.
There’s no firewall running. Neither on the linux server nor the windows box.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks.

iTunes 7.0.1.8 with svn 1376 worked quite fine (Debian on Kurobox). I just installed svn 1393 as well; the unknown meta codes are:

The loading is quite slow (due to the slow processor of the Kurobox probably), but succeeded, and files are playing correctly, so I wouldn’t assign the fault to the above unknown metacodes.

Bug: For some reason, all smart playlists show the full contents of the library. Those playlists all worked for some time with svn 1376, didn’t change them (until now to find why they won’t work currently).

Small bug: when removing a playlist that was opened for editing, the edit details will still show after the playlist was removed from the list above.

Works for me, too. Do need to decide which of these metas are worth responding to.

This was all part of the daap separation, so not completely (?) surprising. That would also explain the long load time… if all the playlists have all contents, that will make for a long connect time.

Again, that was all tied into the daap code. Needs to be fixed on the web interface side, since I don’t want to make the web page stuff depend on the daap module.
