[QUOTE="simex, post: 230152"] AFAIK DAAP Server/Client is implemented by iTunes itself. Bonjour is Apple's implementation of mDNS and DNS-SD. (The implementation on Linux for instance is called [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_(software)"]Avahi[/URL]) iTunes uses Bonjour to broadcast the fact that it is a DAAP server. Bonjour does not implement DAAP. The only way that I'm aware of being able to talk to iTunes 7 devices is via ... iTunes 7 :wtf: The point of my plugin was that you didn't need iTunes. The plugin is also stalled for development. It was coming to the point where I was starting to think in terms of a generic file access system (similar to using URL protocols eg. file://c:/music.mp3 would be a local file) with plugins that register the fact that they can handle a particular protocol (eg. I would register the fact that I can do daap://mymac/playlist/4/55.mp3 for instance). However, such a change would require some major changes for MediaPortal. Maybe MP2 can include such a thing? :thx: Then things like ftp access, daap access and possibly upnp can be added easily and history search and sort would work without (too much) extra effort from protocol plugin developers. Of course the other major interruption to the plugin development is that we now have a proper Windows Media Centre box hooked up to the TV now... :D I'm more than happy to put up the code that I had done so far. It's not very good since it's the first ever plugin I've written for MP and I found that I needed to know most of the music system to write something that seemed so simple, which is why it became a plugin (with me re-implementing the music view, etc) rather than a plugin to music directly. Who knows. If the other housemates get sick and tired of Media Centre crashing during Thumbnails and adding random .ehome files around the place, then I may come back to it. :cool: I'll add a link to the code when I find it again :S (since I'm at linux.conf.au right now lol) Simex :-) [/QUOTE]
