a note about mt-daapd & avahi daemon

[cpg]

here is a useful note sent from one of our users, who was having trouble with mt-daapt/Firefly Media server/AmahiTunes. it turned out to be a corrupted music file:

Here is how I solved the problem:

I uninstalled/reinstalled mt-daapd

Code: Select all

yum erase mt-daapd yum clean all yum update yum install mt-daapd

However, Amahi logs still showed mt-daapd trying to
start then stopping. Sooo, I looked at mt-daapd's log file
(/var/log/mt-daapd.log) and noticed it was having trouble with a certain
*.ogg file. I went to the directory and noticed that it was a 0-byte file
(???) and deleted it. Voila! It began to work just as soon as monit
noticed it wasn't running.

I do suggest that people get it up and running
before they fill their music directory. One corrupt *.ogg file had me
banging my head for days because I knew I was doing everything right.
