This is weird because I’ve just reinstalled mt-daapd on Ubuntu just fine.
FIWI here’s my startup script:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: mt-daapd
# Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $time

# Short-Description: Multithreaded DAAP music server
# Description: mt-daapd, a.k.a. Firefly Media Server, is what
# most people will understand to be an iTunes share
# server. It uses the DAAP protocol, as iTunes does,
# and supports streaming MP3 and AAC natively. It can
# make use of a number of conversion methods to expose
# Ogg and FLAC files too.

exit 0btw I just found out that the mt-daapd package or rather some of the javascript dependancies are broken. Not broken in a package sense, but the /playlist.html for instance doesn’t work.
To make it work again just overwrite everything in mt-daapd/admin-root with the files from a nightly unstable release for instance.
