Re: Amarok 2.2 and daap

just tried with amarok 2.2.2-1 and it worked but since kde4 this is like gambling if amarok is able to find the daap servers. you could try rhythmbox it allways finds my firefly servers

Re: Amarok 2.2 and daap

amarok --version says:

Amarok: 2.2.2

hmm i realy have no clue whats wrong here on an kubuntu box(amarok) and on itunes the firefly server is visible only i cant see it with amarok and no i dont want to use rhythmbox i know it might work but i dont like it couse it is always waiting for the server to update and that costs extra resources and its gtk

but thnx for ur help

i gues amarok is not the problem rhythmbox does not list the server aswell hmm under ubuntu rhythmbox and amarok both are able to see and play from the server so i have no clue what could be wrong

Ok i guess it was due to a problem with avahai cant test now since my server wont start i'll report later

edit:
Rhythmbox now finds the server but amarok still doesn't

Re: Amarok 2.2 and daap

after 

pacman -S nss-mdns 

and putting the line

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] nis dns mdns4

into /etc/nssswitch.conf
and start avahi-daemon:

/etc/rc.d/avahi-daemon start

amarok finds my firefly server!
