Rhythmbox no longer automatically lists DAAP shares
Last modified: 2008-05-19 16:28:33 EDT
Description of problem: I use rhythmbox as my audio player and mt-daapd as my media server. Rhythmbox used to list my mt- daapd DAAP share automatically because mt-daapd publishes its share using Avahi. Rhythmbox now does not list the share until I manually select Music -> Connect to DAAP Share. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.11.5-9.fc9.ppc How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and configure mt-daapd 2. Start rhythmbox Actual results: Rhythmbox does not list mt-daapd's DAAP share. Expected results: Rhythmbox should list mt-daapd's DAAP share without the user manually connecting to it. This is how things worked out of the box when using F-8. Additional info: iTunes detects my mt-daapd DAAP share automatically as I would expect. I tried to downgrade to a previous version of rhythmbox from F-8, but that did not fix the problem.
Could you please try disabling the firewalls on both machines, and restarting Avahi (and Rhythmbox/mt-daapd as well).
Yes, you got it. Sorry, I had turned off the firewall on the mt-daapd server, but not my Rhythmbox client. I guess I didn't put much thought into how mDNS/DNS-SD works. For the record, adding the following line to my client's /etc/sysconfig/iptables allows avahi through the client's firewall: -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
