amarok + built in daap

hugin · 2007-01-22 20:16:44

ok, so i'm running amarok 1.4.4-3 and I'm sharing out my collection over the network to my laptop running the same version. I can connect to the Collection, and browse it, add tracks to the playlist, etc. But when it comes time to play the track, I get an error, about no input plugin. The streams URL is http://localhost:53310/daap.mp3. This brings me here, as the laptop's amarok (the one trying to access the tower's collection) can play local mp3s just fine. anyone have this working, and can give me some insight?

Have you looked at that?

You might want to build a svn version and check whether it works there.

Do you have a daap server running? IIRC I had to set one up before I could stream music via amarok - prior to that I'm pretty sure I could see the songs but not play them.

Actually, even with mt-daap running, i'm having the same issue. I can no longer see itunes shares either.

Having the exact same issues with kubuntu as well as frugalware. Looks like it's not at all distro specific.

Yeah, I haven't tested anything else yet. I was waiting for my KDE 3.5.6 download to finish (a brutal 200M download, on dialup) to test against. But I actally just realized that amarok isn't part of the KDE applications. So maybe I'll play around with it later tonite.

ok, well I've half fixed my problem. I still can't use amarok's daap server, but using mt-daapd I can get that to stream properly; with one minor problem. mt-daapd won't start unless I tell it not to use the mdns stuff. I get the following error.
mt-daapd -f:

...
Registering rendezvous names via avahi
mt-daapd: rend-avahi.c:58: entry_group_callback: Assertion `g == mdns_group' failed.
Aborted

I left out the beginning as it is the same as if I run it with the -m switch, except that the server starts and works properly. does anyone else get these? use the -f switch to force it to run in the foreground.

roger that,

i need to specify -m to diasable mDNS as well in order to get the thing to start.
effectively, i've just added the "-m" to the line that reads /usr/sbin/mt-daapd in /etc/rc.d/mt-daapd

worked fine in gentoo. if i find a solution i'll certainly post it.
