you can modify the mt-daapd.conf through the webinterface and exclude selceted plugins.
Be aware though that Linux pretty much swaps out unused memory, as not to clutter RAM.

dont let you the /proc/meminfo fool you 😉

Thanks!

Actually I can’t edit the config file from the web interface since the file is owned by root and mt-daapd is run as user “music” – I’ll stick to modifying it with vi!

You may have a point about swapping out – I’ve currently got a base Debian install (including OpenSSH and exim4) plus vsftpd, mt-daapd, lighttpd + php and only 49% of the memory is being used for kernel + applications and there is over 2M in swap.

However, I still want to turn off (probably) DAAP so that the server only shows up once on the soundbridge.

Thanks again,

Also, depending on version, it might just load all the plugins in the plugin_dir regardless of the settings for plugins. If you find that’s the case, just rename the plugins to something other than .so, as that’s how it decides what to try to load — anything with .so.

Thanks, Ron. I’ve added the “plugins = rsp.so” line to my mt-daapd.conf (and commented out the two ssc-related lines) and I now have the server showing up just the once on the soundbridge.

Cheers,
