| 11 | mt-daapd is a program which acts as an iTunes (DAAP) server for Linux and
|
|---|
| 12 | other POSIX unixes. It may eventually support Win32 as well.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | Some random features that it supports:
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | * Supports the Roku SoundBridge (query/browse/index support)
|
|---|
| 17 | * Supports periodic rescans of the database
|
|---|
| 18 | * Can advertise shoutcast streams
|
|---|
| 19 | * Supports password-protected shares
|
|---|
| 20 | * Is web-configurable and managable
|
|---|
| 21 | * Support dynamic playlists, like iTunes "Smart playlists"
|
|---|
| 22 | * Probably other things I've forgotten
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | All is not perfect, however. Currently, there are several drawbacks to it:
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | * database is indexed by inode, so all music must be on one filesystem
|
|---|
| 27 | * browse by artist is slow on Roku, times out (with large databases ~10K songs)
|
|---|
| 28 | * Probably other things I've forgotten
