I see this in 0.12.8-0ubuntu7 (lucid version, i386). The server is mt-daap (0.9~r1696.dfsg-15build1) running on lucid i386 also. iTunes on a mac sees it just fine and plays songs fine.
I am able to play files from the server with VLC and the http: access method. I don't see the DAAP server automatically. As it happens there are two on my network but one has no content. As above, I start rhythmbox, go to Music->Connect to DAAP Share... in the menu. Enter a hostname and port number in the syntax specified in the dialog. Nothing further happens. With tcpdump I can see the MDNS requests going out and responses coming back. But there are no further queries, for eg /server-info. Stracing shows the queries appear to be getting received but I can't see any further attempts to connect to the server. recvfrom(25, "M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: 239.2"..., 8192, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(58188), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.6")}, [16]) = 94 gettimeofday({1314074035, 21569}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1314074035, 21744}, NULL) = 0 recvfrom(25, "M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST: 239.2"..., 8192, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(58188), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.13.6")}, [16]) = 94 gettimeofday({1314074035, 23090}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1314074035, 23372}, NULL) = 0 recvfrom(25, 0xa7e6304, 8192, 0, 0xbfba613c, 0xbfba6138) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/665168 Title: Rhythmbox fails to connect to DAAP share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/665168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
