Media discovery using DAAP in Rhythmbox
by koenvereeken on Jul.10, 2008, under Tech
While some of my collegues use DAAP to listen to music over the network, I didn’t get it configured on my Ubuntu.
Starting Rhythmbox with the debug parameter ‘-d’, gives the following output when loading the DAAP plugin:
[0x80dc408] [rb_plugin_find_file] rb-plugin.c:255: found ‘/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/daap/daap-ui.xml’ when searching for file ‘daap-ui.xml’ for plugin ‘daap’
[0x80dc408] [create_share] rb-daap-sharing.c:67: initialize daap sharing
[0x80dc408] [rb_daap_share_server_start] rb-daap-share.c:1903: Started DAAP server on port 3689
(rhythmbox:4302): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to notify network of music sharing: The avahi MDNS service is not running
Starting up the avahi MDNS service fixed the problem:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
