DId you compile it by hand or install from a pre-packaged binary?

If you compiled by hand, did you use –enable-avahi? And if you didn’t is the avahi daemon running?

Those are the things to check — that you are using avahi from mt-daapd, and that the avahi daemon is running.

Also, did a previous version work? If you didn’t have a previous version, then it might be worth checking your firewall and making sure it allows inbound port 5353 udp from 224.0.0.251 as well as outbound udp from 5353 to 224.0.0.251.

Thanks for the reply,

Well it was a pre-compiled binary, i installed avahi daemon and its running, i changed the port to 9999 and still no luck

You have to deactivate the builtin mDNS thingy and use the avahi support.

What precompiled binary did you use?
From what I can see in the logfile, it looks like avahi support is not enabled in mt-daapd.

[Zeem]

i installed mt-daapd_0.9-svn-1659_feisty_i386.deb

How do i deactivate the builtin mDNS?

It’s already running, apparently.

If you are getting name collisions, then mdns is working right (other than the fact that you are running two copies).

If you can’t see it but the mdns stuff is starting, then look for the obvious problems — firewalls on the source or client machines, wireless router not configured to pass multicast, mismatched subnet masks between client and server, that kind of thing.

Firewall-wise, you need to allow inbound 5353 udp from 224.0.0.251, and allow outbound udp from 5353 to 224.0.0.251.

On your router, you very likely need to upgrade to latest firmware, and check for settings having to do with enabling multicast or igmp.
