I have successfully gotten “iTunes”(mt-daapd) on Ubuntu 8.04 to mount as a shared server in iTunes from a remote Windows XP.<br />
<br />
'''Applications needed:'''<br />
<br />
'''Windows:'''<br />
<br />
[http://www.hurlster.com/files/bonjoursdksetup.zip Bonjour SDK (Windows)]<br />
<br />
[http://www.hurlster.com/files/putty.zip Putty]<br />
<br />
'''Ubuntu:'''<br />
<br />
[http://www.hurlster.com/files/mt-daapd-0.2.4.2.tar.gz mt-daapd]<br />
<br />
sshd<br />
<br />
#Install apps on respective platforms.<br />
#Start mt-daapd, and configure the directory of music and have it scan it to populate the music.<br />
#Fire up a ssh session from Windows with putty to the linux box. This will need to have port forwarding enabled by adding local port 3689 to forward to localhost:3689.<br />
#You can test this by opening a DOS window and ‘telnet localhost 3689′, hit Ctrl-C and it should kick back some information about your Firefly server.<br />
#If that is working, now is the crucial part<br />
dns-sd -P "Home iTunes" _daap._tcp local 3689 localhost 127.0.0.1 "Arbitrary Record"<br />
<del>MZClient.exe -v -t _daap._tcp -p “_daap._tcp 3689 ShareName”</del><br />
: - which means, forward multicast announcments to TCP port 3689 on localhost, which in turn communicates with the Linux server.<br />
: - [http://www.hurlster.com/files/iTunes_Home.zip Batch File] for Startup folder.<br />
: 6. Fire up iTunes on your Windows PC and it should show up as a shared device.<br />
