Unfortunately, it still does not seem to work. Is there another windows based program that I can use to see if I can locate the server on hte network, perhaps it is iTunes and WIndows Media player that does not work properly. Just trying to isolate the problem.

Not really. There are some for mac, but I don’t really know any that are windowsy.

Another thing you can do is to run it in the foreground and see what errors you get:


/usr/sbin/mt-daapd -d9 -f

Then it should spew out a bunch of crap. Maybe it’s just still indexing. Who knows.

Once you run it as root, you’ll have probably messed up the permissions on the database, so don’t forget fix up permissions on /var/cache/mt-daapd.
