Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Ubuntu 10.04 - Rhythmbox Unable to Play Music from daap share that
requires password
Clean install of Ubuntu 10.04.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.0
Installed mp3 plugin (at I believe Rhythmbox prompt) when trying to
first play an mp3 file. File played fine.
Two NAS boxes on network:
1) NAS1 - Dlink DNS-323, firmware 1.08
2) WD1 - Western Digitial MyBook World Edition - firmware 01.01.16 with
MioNet 4.1.1.9
Both have built in daap (itune) servers. Both of these servers and their
music files can be seen and played under Windows Vista and Windows 7
using either itunes or songbird (with the daap plugin). The NAS1 daap
server is setup so that it requires a password to access the server.
Both itunes and songbird prompt for this password. WD1 does not require
a password.
In Ubuntu 10.04 both NAS1 and WD1 appear in Rhythmbox under "Shared".
However, Rhythmbox could only list and play tracks from WD1. There was
no password prompt box when connecting to NAS1. No error message was
reported when trying to open NAS1 just no tracks appeared.
Q1) How can I get Rhythmbox to prompt for the NAS1 daap share password?
To investigate further I installed the Banshee music player. Initially
this could not see either NAS1 or WD1.
After a google search I edited the file: /etc/samba/smb.conf
and adding in the [global] section after the line "server string = %h
server (Samba, Ubuntu)"
client ntlmv2 auth = no
Now Banshee was able see and connect to both WD1 and the DNS-323 daap
server, it prompted for the password when connecting to NAS1. I was able
to play music from both WD1 and NAS1.
The behaviour with Rhythmbox was unchanged, still no password prompt
when connecting the NAS1 daap share.
Could be very similar to:
#230583 connecting to daap share fails to ask for required password
reported for Ubuntu 8.04. The problem here was on 10.04 and the daap share was
automatically found by Rhythmbox, but it could not connect to it, apparently
due the lack of password prompt.
I will also report the Banshee samba issue as a separate bug.
