Hi all,

I know this is dumb but I can’t figure it out. I am running FreeBSD 7 amd64 edition. I have mt-daapd-0.2.4.1 installed from ports. I also have mdns/mDNSResponder installed.

All services are up, I see the following in the logs

2008-04-15 22:53:41: Starting rendezvous daemon
2008-04-15 22:53:41: Current database version: 8
2008-04-15 22:53:41: Starting signal handler
2008-04-15 22:53:42: Loading playlists
2008-04-15 22:53:42: Initializing database
2008-04-15 22:53:43: Starting mp3 scan
2008-04-15 22:53:45: Starting web server from /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root on port 3689
2008-04-15 22:53:45: Registering rendezvous names
2008-04-15 22:53:45: Scanned 15860 songs in 4 seconds

When I check on the local host (the FreeBSD server) I see the daapd share

[root@zfsbsd64 /usr/ports/audio/mt-daapd]# mDNSBrowse _daap._tcp
browse reply: Add Service 0x2 ZFS Music Server _daap._tcp. local.
browse reply: Add Service 0x2 OtherMusicServer_
PW _daap._tcp. local.
resolve reply: 0x2 ZFS Music Server _daap._tcp. local. 192.168.1.250 3689

But when I check via macs on the network I get the following:

mDNS -B _daap._tcp
Browsing for _daap._tcp
Talking to DNS SD Daemon at Mach port 4099
Timestamp A/R Flags Domain Service Type Instance Name
23:09:17.704 Add 0 local. _daap._tcp. OtherMusicServer_PW
^C

The network card on the FreeBSD server is set to multicast and even put it in promiscuous mode and that made no difference. Below is the output of the ifconfig

[root@zfsbsd64 /usr/ports/audio/mt-daapd]# ifconfig em0
em0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b
ether 00:0e:0c:5a:64:0e
inet 192.168.1.250 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX )
status: active

The only other thing i see is there is two instances of mt-daapd, but that happens via the start up script so i am assuming that is normal

Thanks for any help

Joe

Haven’t had any success reports on fbsd 7 (or patches either, for that matter). Best fix I’ve seen is to install avahi and configure with –enable-avahi.
