First line being is the code that is displayed on the iDevice. Second line the name that's been discovered. In my case iPad (no quote marks). 8 ) Name the file as iPad.remote (what you call it doesn't matter, but the extension has to be .remote) 9) Save that file to the folder that holds all your music. In my case /mnt/user/music 10) Restart Docker
January 18, 20188 yr It seems that the web interface has been added back into the project. I still have difficulties using the web interface Edited January 18, 20188 yr by Inukinator

January 28, 20188 yr going to install this tonight or tomorrow. My question is how long does it take to start playing music from a computer or iPhone? For example, I open up my Mac laptop and launch iTunes does iTunes take forever to load the music or is it quick?
January 28, 20188 yr Library itself can take time if it’s quite large, but once done, playback is very quick, same as connecting to any other iTunes library remotely.

January 28, 20188 yr building forked daapd from master and attempting to use it results in constant crashing and restarting of the service rendering it useless the release build of 25 does not contain webui and trying to access 3689 results in asking for user/login the current build uses that port in this manner (ie not for webui) https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd/blob/25.0/README.md#command-line-and-web-interface
January 28, 20188 yr ok so I guess I will ask a stupid question. How do I use this if I can't see anything?

January 28, 20188 yr ok, then how do I know when it's done scanning my music? Sorry for the dumb questions
January 28, 20188 yr 58 minutes ago, squirrellydw said: ok, then how do I know when it's done scanning my music? Sorry for the dumb questions Watch the log file. You will also need to pair your device(s), which is done by attempting to connect to the library on the device, watching the log file for the response, and adding a text file named .remote with your device pairing code into the root of your music library.
January 28, 20188 yr This thread is short compared to many others, I'd recommend reading the entire thread thoroughly.

Ok I got it setup and working with iTunes but I don't understand how to use the remote app or set that up cancel that, figured it out Edited January 28, 20188 yr by squirrellydw
March 2, 20188 yr Hi, I have a problem, that since the last update daapd keeps restarting for no apparent reason as soon as a client tries to connect. Has anyone else noticed this or is there a problem on my side? Thanks!

Remote devices fetching album art while browsing are crashing the app. Detail in last couple of pages of this thread.

March 3, 20188 yr Thanks for the tips, I've read the previous comments in the thread, but they all seemed to be iOS related. I'm trying to connect with mac and PC versions of iTunes. Is there a way to roll back the server to an earlier version temporarily? Everything was working fine a few weeks ago. I believe it was version 25.0.

I believe it was version 25.0. Figured it out, thank you! The Metal Machine is fully operational once again (running version 125 for anyone interested, will return to latest as soon as possible)
March 3, 20188 yr issue raised with daapd dev for version 26 https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd/issues/502
March 4, 20188 yr Thanks, hope you'll be able to figure out what the problem is. I've pasted a log there as well: https://pastebin.com/9GGkjSC3
April 4, 20188 yr I updated my docker and I’m also getting the crashing. It looks like ejurgensen just posted something new to try. https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd/issues/502
April 26, 20188 yr It looks like he merged a fix into the code, hopefully that works with the docker *fingers crossed*
