Amarok 1.4.5 and daap (mt-daapd)

[Cédric Boutillier]

Hi list,

Please CC me, because I am not subscribed to the list.

I am using Debian Sid up-to-date on several machines, with Amarok
1.4.4 with KDE 3.5.5 (or 1.4.5 with KDE 3.5.6 from experimental on
some of them).
I just installed mt-daapd server (v. 0.2.4+r1376-2) to share my music
collection over the network. It is perfectly seen by my iBook
(iTunes). However, I want to
be able also to see this collection with Amarok on my other Debian
machine. The daap server is correctly seen from that machine, when
using avahi-discover (0.6.16-2)  (I add a service
/etc/avahi/services). I followed
the instructions given here: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Music_Sharing
Everithing goes well until Point 9). At 10), I see no labelled folder
corresponding to the mt-daapd server name. I can click on the button
to add a computer. If I enter the IP of the server, everything is fine
and I can play the music. However, I would have expected that at least
entering the computer.local name broadcasted by avahi would have been
enough. But this is not the case.

Are there any special tricks to make configuration of DAAP easier with
Amarok ? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Cedric
