Let me preface: I am running an mt-daapd server (Ubuntu 6.10), and have both a Mac and a PC.
I have been running a firefly server for a couple of days, and have no trouble connecting to my shared music on the windows version of iTunes (7.0), but on the mac version of itunes, the shared library will show up correctly, play for 31 seconds, and then stop playing, and the shared library will disappear from itunes. The Mac version of itunes is 7.3.1, and the mt-daapd is the latest stable version (0.2.4)
The fact that everything is working fantastic on the windows version makes me believe that the server is working properly, and it is merely a setting I am missing in Mac OSX that I need to switch, in order to let it stay connected to the shared library. I have the firewall turned off, but from what I have been reading, I need to mess around with some multicasting?
Thanks

Yeah, that’s sort of what it sounds like. Either that, or the server is crashing. Does it stay in the windows shared library list, or does it disappear from both? And when it happens, and you do a “ps auxw” on the server, do you see the mt-daapd processes?
Not sure what’s happening exactly — the server crashing, or a multicast issue.
