Hey,
i just setted up a firefly media stream server. It streams my mediathek (*.m4v and mp3) very well to iTunes on a Mac. Now my Problem is, that i can not watch films on a Windows machine!
Whats wrong there? So exactely the same video file plays on MacOSX but not on Windows (7 nor XP…).
I encoded all the videos with “handbreake” and followed this steps (last post) — http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6907
When i import the Videos into iTunes on a Mac, i can watch them on a windows machine!
This is the output from mt-daapd while starting:
sudo mt-daapd -f -d 5
Loading new config file.

looks quite nice!
When i connect to my firefly server via a Windows Machine (iTunes 9.0.2) then the mt-daapd output is something like that:
Session 0: Streaming file 'blablabla.m4v' to 192.168.113.69 (offset 0)
Finished streaming file to remote: 1569634604 bytes
Looks good, but there is no video in iTunes!
When i connect vrom a Mac (10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.2) it looks like this (same file):
Session 0: Streaming file 'DorfPunks.m4v' to 192.168.113.65 (offset 0)
Session 0: Streaming file 'DorfPunks.m4v' to 192.168.113.65 (offset 0)
Write error: Broken pipe
Error copying file to remote...
Finished streaming file to remote: 1569634604 bytes
and the video imideately begins to play!
When i try to copy the video files to those windows machines, the windows iTunes can play them without any problem! Also it is no Problem, when i share the videos from my Mac to a windows machine via iTunes.
Where can i try to find the problem? Any idea would be great!
Thank you soo much!
