debugging Avahi, mDNS, howl – where did by Daap server go?

[Anonymous]

This problem has been on and off for a while. The daap shares don’t always show up in Rythmbox, Soundbridge Radio, or iTunes (those are all the clients I use). When it shows up on one, it shows up on all them.

On the daap server, I have avahi-daemon running, as well as mt-daapd.

on the server:
# avahi-browse -a
+ eth1 IPv4 Daap iTunes Audio Access local
+ eth1 IPv4 SoundBridge Telnet Remote Terminal local
+ eth1 IPv4 SoundBridge _roku-rcp._tcp local
+ eth1 IPv4 SoundBridge Radio Web Site local

# ps aux | grep avahi
avahi 6551 0.0 0.4 7224 2192 ? Ss 15:43 0:00 avahi-daemon: running [server.local]
avahi 6552 0.0 0.1 6200 708 ? Ss 15:43 0:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper

#ps aux | grep daap
# ps aux | grep daap
nobody 6493 0.1 0.5 27876 2876 pts/0 Sl 15:42 0:00 mt-daapd -d 5 -m

/etc/avahi/services/daap.services



Daap

_daap._tcp 3689

I put the -m in the startup script and included the daap.services trying to get it working. In rhythmbox, I can connect to the share manually “Music=>Connect to DAAP share”, then type in the name of the server, but it no longer autodiscovers it (or whatever the correct term is). So DAAP is running, just not announcing itself anymore?

If someone could help me debug this, I’d appreciate it. Thanks all

Some System info:
Fedora 8
mt-daapd-0.2.4.1-5.fc8
avahi-0.6.21-8.fc8
webserver working
rendezvous- not configured per the web page (-m flag in startup)

I tried it without Avahi, and mt-daapd would start. So apparently it needs it:) I remove the “-m” from the startup script. Here is the debug -9 log. It looks like it registers with avahi, but I really don’t know much about how this works:

I put the log here – but this forum has url’s disabled. The log was pretty bug, so this pastebin thing works well.
