Dammit.
Rhythmbox uses a randomly-selected port also it seems. There also doesn't seem to be an option to select a port. What's wrong with 3689 anyway?
Ok - let's see what exaile can do...
EDIT: Exaile doesn't appear to do DAAP serving.
A blog dedicated to the destruction of the god-awful firefly/mt-daapd music server.
You can also try XMMS2, which has a DAAP plugin. OR you could write your own server in Perl. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks man, will try XMMS2 and report back.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure my Perl skills extend to writing DAAP servers - buy anything I'd try would be preferable to messing with mt-daapd again.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI made some fixes to the latest trunk version of FireFly and compiled it. Would you like to try it out? I’ve posted up the binaries as well as instructions on how to compile it (along with my modified sources) at:

Please let me know if you have any comments/queries. I hope we can keep this great little media server going :)
Try out forked-daapd, someone out there on the interwebs did a complete modern rewrite of mt-daapd... still a little buggy, but handles my 15k song library fine and manages to serve to iTunes 10 (more than can be said for a lot of DAAP servers out there, firefly included) http://github.com/jasonmc/forked-daapd
