To sum up,
iTunes can see the share just fine and plays great! I can navigate to the mt-daapd/admin-root/ through any browser just fine from any machine.
I have altered FirePlay.html to look for hosts localhost (when using the machine FireFly is running on [Fedora 8 x86]), hostname and local ip 192.168.x.x (for local machine and 3 others in the house.), and external ip 24.x.x.x (for local, machine in house and at work). All yield the same Connecting to http://{insert your choice}:3689 hang.
I am using FireFly 0.2.4.1 and FirePlay v0.85. I have even turned the firewall on the fedora box completely off. Still nothing. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Am I missing some key package? Thanks for any help.
