Server started but can’t be seen

[plaetzchen]

Hi there!

I am using 1.400 NVS on a Ubuntu Linux Server. I can start mt-daapd without any problems but I cant see it in iTunes. In Safari I can see the hostname in the bonjour section.
Here are some debug information, maybe it helps you to analyse the problem:

I guess you didn’t load the daap plugin 😉

so firefly only supports RSP (roku soundbridge stuff), and not iTunes’ DAAP.

add this plugin, and restart. You should be fine.

grüsse nach D 😉

How can I do this?

[fizze]

go to the firefly web-page.
there, in the config section, click “show advanced config”.

then scroll down to the plugin-section.
klick “add plugin” and type in the box:

out-daap.so

save, and restart firefly. 😉

Can’t see it in iTunes

[fizze]

you are not using iTunes 7.x right?
7seconds for 23K songs seems kinda weird, or you’ve got one helluva rig there 😉

also, there’s a warning about the db_dir, so you might check out the config file. You didnt have 0.2.4 or any other versions installed before 1400, did you?

[rpedde]

In the version you have, the “plugins” setting is ignored.

Instead, you have to have the plugins dir (again through the web config) point to the directory the plugins are at. Probably /usr/share/mt-daapd/plugins, or /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/plugins.

Fizze is right that you have an old config though — might do well do copy the config from contrib and change the options you’ve changed… that way you are up-to-date.
