itunes server / ipkg

[fhanauer]

Hello,

i'm looking for a way to run an itunes server off my wl 500g, with mtdaapd or daapd. I´m already succesfull running an upnp music server.

But how can I install daapd? I think, I need ipkg, but how is that installed? Is there a guide or something?

Greetings,
any help appreciated,
John

I dont know if there is an itunes server out there for WL500g, but ipkg you can setup using my guide from : http://www.macsat.com

Thank you, macsat,

you really have a great tutorial on you website. Now I installed ipkg, and the package mt-daapd. So far, so good, but it's not working.

Has anyone experience with mt-daapd?
I managed to install it, to set the configuration file (my mp3 directory, and admin as user) and - it starts, and shows up (with ps -ax). But then nothing. The log file says "starting rendezvous daemon" and "starting signal header", but nothing else. And it does not show up on another computer running itunes.

Yesterday I also installed mt-daapd, because I searched for an streaming server easy to install on wl500g. I also had problems (wrong user and password) which I fixed when I started the daemon in debug mode:

[wastel@wl500g root]$ /opt/sbin/mt-daapd -f -d 5 -c /opt/etc/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf
Starting rendezvous daemon
Current database version: 8
Starting signal handler
Signal handler started
Loading playlists
Initializing database
Finished loading smart playlists
Adding smart playlist AAC Files as 5
Adding smart playlist Non-DRMed Music as 4
Adding smart playlist Recently Added as 3
Adding smart playlist 60's Music as 2
Starting mp3 scan
Starting web server from /opt/share/mt-daapd/admin-root on port 3689
Preparing to listen on port 3689
Starting server thread
Registering rendezvous names
Scanned 100 songs in  1 seconds
Got INT signal. Notifying daap server.
Stopping gracefully
Stopping rendezvous daemon
Stopping signal handler
Closing database
Done!

The server can then be configured with its webinterface http://wl500g:3689
But now I need a client programm on linux debian which understands the daap protocol. I tried amarok, juk and vlc with no success.
