Hi all

I have a ubuntu server running avanti and mt-daapd, sharing a bunch of mp3s to a couple of macs on the same network. All works well except the itunes clients on the mac keep ‘losing’ the share. mt-daapd and avanti are both still listed in the running process list on the server, and doing /etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart makes the share show up again in itunes.

Does anyone have any ideas for fixing this so the mt-daapd share doesn’t keep vaporizing? It’s fine for me to restart every time I need to, but not for everyone else in my technophobic household..

Thanks in advance

Pete

That usually means that your server can send UDP from 5353 to 224.0.0.251, but the firewall is dropping inbound udp to port 5353 from 224.0.0.251.
