Hi
I have been trying to follow the instructions here: http://www.gyfgafguf.dk/openwrt/mirror/forked-daapd/README to configure the forked-daapd software installed on MBL to pair with my iPhone.
See snippet below.
- start forked-daapd
- start Remote, go to Choose Library, Add Library
- prepare a text file with a filename ending with .remote; the filename
doesn't matter, only the .remote ending does. This file must contain
two lines: the first line is the name of your iPod/iPhone, the second
is the 4-digit pairing code displayed by Remote.
If your iPod/iPhone is named "Foobar" and Remote gives you the pairing
code 5387, the file content will be:
Foobar
5387
- move this file somewhere in your library
At this point, you should be done with the pairing process and Remote should
display the name of your forked-daapd library. You can delete the .remote file
once the pairing process is done.
If Remote doesn't display the name of your forked-daapd library at this point,
the pairing process failed.
The remote pairing process is failing claiming that the name of the iPhone is not known to mDNS. Here is an entry from the forked-daapd.log file:
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Adding Remote pin data: name ‘shanley-iPhone’, pin ‘1266’
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Remote ‘shanley-iPhone’ found
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Pairing hash for D4F0A989-A278-437A-9BEF-7931910A2F03/shanley-iPhone: EE0E7106B251517E6A115341EB99B979
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Adding Remote pin data: name ‘shanley-iPhone’, pin ‘1266’
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Remote ‘shanley-iPhone’ not known from mDNS, ignoring
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Adding Remote pin data: name ‘shanley-iPhone’, pin ‘1266’
[2013-04-08 19:25:31] remote: Remote ‘shanley-iPhone’ not known from mDNS, ignoring
From running the command
avahi-browse -r -k _touch-remote._tcp
I can see that ‘shanley-iPhone’ is the correct name for the device:
- eth0 IPv6 9F3A370B-AF60-4773-861A-F23C21C37C74 _touch-remote._tcp local
= eth0 IPv6 9F3A370B-AF60-4773-861A-F23C21C37C74 _touch-remote._tcp local
hostname = [shanley-iPhone.local]
address = [192.168.1.71]
port = [55954]
txt = [“DvNm=shanley-iPhone” “DvTy=iPhone” “RemV=10000” “RemN=Remote” “txtvers=1” “Pair=D91CD02B356BE128”]
Has anyone got this to work as I’m been looking at this for days now and am no further forward!
Thanks.
