I noticed that on mac, with latest bonjour it’s trying to connect to the IPv6 address, not the IPv4 one. Wonder if that’s it?

I’ll try and add IPv6 to the next build. I’ve merged up the test branch into the mainline branch, and hope to have it cleaned up and compilable again on windows in a day or two.

You’re right, a look at the firewall logs shows an IPv6 entry:
Aug 1 18:29:53 router2 Unknown InputIN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:01:80:5c:08:91:00:0c:6e:e5:e2:31:08:00 SRC=10.0.0.3 DST=10.81.8.6 LEN=48 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=59320 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=4539 DPT=3689 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

the source is from my internal network, that’s ok, but the destination is the address of the external NIC (the one connected to the DSL router) of the mt-daapd server.
I changed mDNSResponder to listen only on the internal NIC (parameter -i interface) and – voila – everything works as before.

aha. looks like the new itunes tries ipv6 before ipv4 now.

But if you ARE running ipv6 as well as ipv4 things seem OK both with Vista and XP with iTunes 7.3.1.3 and svn-1586 (running on Vista). Firefly Server shows up in iTunes just fine.

99 % of all users probbably don’t run IPv6, and showing up is not enough. The Firefly Server was shown in iTunes on my machine, but connecting was not possible.
BTW, I think this is either an error in iTunes or mDNSResponder, because why the hell iTunes thinks it should connect to a wrong IP (in case the Server has 2 NIC’s).

The apple mDNS responder is pretty stupid on non-osx machines. Really, on linux machines avahi is the way to go, now that it’s stabilized.

Seems like thre was an update to iTunes in the last day or two to 7.3.2. I wonder if that fixes that problem. Haven’t gotten to look closely at it yet.
