Mt-daapd works great under the following conditions:
I open iTunes on the client,
on the mt-daapd server I type: tcpdump port 5353
I wait a minute or so, and the share pops up in iTunes.
I can repeatedly close and open iTunes with the share appearing immediately, (just like my old Dell).
…however…
if I start running tcpdump with itunes closed, my little firefly server is never discovered, the old dell is though.
I also need to run tcpdump on port 5353, specifically.
Iptables is also free any rules with the default policy set to accept.
Thank you,
