April 20, 201313 yr I can see the shared library on Itunes, which is on my PC. But on the appleTV, with home sharing turned on, it just says No content Found. From the PC i can Airplay from unraid to the appletv via itunes. Is there a way to show the shared library?
April 20, 201313 yr Author I can see the shared library on Itunes, which is on my PC. But on the appleTV, with home sharing turned on, it just says No content Found. From the PC i can Airplay from unraid to the appletv via itunes. Is there a way to show the shared library? Unfortunately home sharing is a different protocol to what iTunes server uses. I don't believe this is possible without jailbreaking your Apple TV to install something like Plex.
June 2, 201313 yr Hi Speeding_ant Seems the sqlite package is causing some issues as it links to an old version. I updated the plg to http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/ap/sqlite-3.7.16-i486-1.txz but I then get a bad MD5 error are you able to help with this please? Lee
June 3, 201313 yr I'm wicked excited about getting iTunes server up and running. However I can't seem to get it to work. I'm running this version of the plugin: simpleFeatures.itunes.server-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg. But when I install I get this error: ERROR 404: Not Found. bad download, deleting Help! Thanks in advance. This is what I get when I try to install: root@Black_Maria:~# installplg /boot/config/plugins/simplefeatures.itunes.server-1.0.11-noarch-1.plg installing plugin: simplefeatures.itunes.server-1.0.11-noarch-1 file /tmp/plugin-prepare: successfully wrote INLINE file contents /bin/bash /tmp/plugin-prepare ... success file /boot/plugins/simpleFeatures/simpleFeatures.itunes.server-1.0.11-i486-1.txz: already exists upgradepkg --install-new /boot/plugins/simpleFeatures/simpleFeatures.itunes.server-1.0.11-i486-1.txz ... +============================================================================== | Skipping package simpleFeatures.itunes.server-1.0.11-i486-1 (already installed) +============================================================================== success file /boot/plugins/simpleFeatures/simpleFeatures.itunes.server.png: already exists file /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/simpleFeatures.itunesServer/images/itunes.png: already exists file /boot/packages/sqlite-3.7.14.1-i486-1.txz: downloading from http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/ap/sqlite-3.7.14.1-i486-1.txz ... http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/ap/sqlite-3.7.14.1-i486-1.txz: 2013-06-02 21:47:28 ERROR 404: Not Found. bad download, deleting
June 5, 201313 yr Hi Speeding_ant Seems the sqlite package is causing some issues as it links to an old version. I updated the plg to http://slackware.cs.utah.edu/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/ap/sqlite-3.7.16-i486-1.txz but I then get a bad MD5 error are you able to help with this please? Lee The md5 for that file is: a6f1606b7fc032d28937a75c0cd3ae68 It also needs to be changed in the web server .plg as well. In both cases, like this: <FILE Name="&pkg;/sqlite-3.7.16-i486-1.txz" Run="upgradepkg --install-new"> <URL>&ur2;/ap/sqlite-3.7.16-i486-1.txz</URL> <MD5>a6f1606b7fc032d28937a75c0cd3ae68</MD5> </FILE>
June 9, 201313 yr Hi All I can see my unraid as a shared library, I can move music into my music folder but cannot see the music. I am getting this error in "/var/log/forked-daapd/forked-daapd.log" /usr/bin/tail -n 1000 -f /var/log/forked-daapd/forked-daapd.log [2013-06-09 04:10:41] main: Forked Media Server Version 0.19gcd taking off [2013-06-09 04:10:41] main: mDNS init [2013-06-09 04:10:41] mdns: Avahi state change: Client registering [2013-06-09 04:10:41] db: Could not prepare statement: no such table: admin [2013-06-09 04:10:41] db: Could not check database version, trying DB init [2013-06-09 04:10:41] scan: Could not lstat() '/mnt/music/itunesdb/songs3.db-journal': No such file or directory [2013-06-09 04:10:41] scan: Could not lstat() '/mnt/music/itunesdb/songs3.db-journal': No such file or directory [2013-06-09 04:10:41] scan: Could not lstat() '/mnt/music/itunesdb/songs3.db-journal': No such file or directory [2013-06-09 04:10:41] scan: Could not lstat() '/mnt/music/itunesdb/songs3.db-journal': No such file or directory [2013-06-09 04:10:41] scan: Could not lstat() '/mnt/music/itunesdb/songs3.db-journal': No such file or directory [2013-06-09 04:10:41] scan: Could not lstat() '/mnt/music/itunesdb/songs3.db-journal': No such file or directory [2013-06-09 04:10:42] mdns: Avahi state change: Client running Would this be causing the issue and does anyone know how to resolve it?

June 11, 201313 yr Hi All I managed to get the music to be playable within the shared library, seems no album art comes across. If there a file format for the artwork I should be using? Can anyone advise what the issue is below please?

July 8, 201312 yr No album art still seems to be an issue, is there any specific art I should be using? This is abot the only thing holding me up the rest of unraid seems to be working pretty well! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
July 11, 201312 yr Hi Guys I really would appreciate a hand with this, not sure why the artwork will not come across but all music comes across fine and streams fine. Can anyone help me out with what I should be looking or searching for to see why the artwork wont come across please?

Can anyone help me out with what I should be looking or searching for to see why the artwork wont come across please? Unfortunately, I think its a limitation with iTunes Shared Libraries http://retrocosm.net/2012/04/04/itunes-cover-art-for-shared-libraries/
September 24, 201312 yr Hi all can anyone assist me here I have managed to get this nearly working I have my music files in /mnt/user/Music/Flac all my files have been recoded to (Alac and MP3) database /mnt/cache/Itunes/songs3.db pairing remote file in /mnt/user/Music/Flac I can get library on my ipad and play files via air play to my pioneer amp SC-LX86 I can also see %h which I assume is my unraid server however I can play files but cant get any sound Cheers

September 24, 201312 yr It would appear that there is no sound card drivers in the base unraid. Am I right in thinking that I would need drivers for this to work how I would like it ie iPad connecting to the iTunes server playing my music files via airplay to my amp Cheers
September 24, 201312 yr no you don't need a sound driver but iTunes server doesn't work with iPads/iPods/iPhones. It only works with iTunes.... http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19541.msg237463#msg237463
September 24, 201312 yr It would appear that there is no sound card drivers in the base unraid. Am I right in thinking that I would need drivers for this to work how I would like it ie iPad connecting to the iTunes server playing my music files via airplay to my amp Cheers You'd need to run a client app for the DAAP protocol on the iPad, but the one that I have played with in the past (SimpleDaap) is relatively limited in terms of the formats it will play (AAC-LC seems OK though), and some functionality is broken under iOS7. Not sure whether you'll be able to stream its output using Airplay though.
September 24, 201312 yr Thanks for info I will probably replace the raspberry pi upstairs that I use to watch films on TV in my room with a small aspire and use iTunes off that to control my music collection with my ipad / amp Would have been nice to do it all from Unraid server
