The fix for that is to use nightlies (http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org), which has a new database version that is more forgiving of antivirus software.
I am not sure if that is the problem, and I (being a newbie) do not understand what to do to solve it if it is….could you guide me along any further?
Here is the most recent log, which ends with “unable to open database file” “Aborting”
