[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 62842] Re: Rhythmbox & daap with itunes 7, 8, 9, 10 doesn't work correctly

[Stefan Lasiewski]

There is another fix to this issue other then illegally cracking a
private key.

As @Artem Baguinski suggested, if this software is unable to connect to
shares from iTunes 7 and above, then it should say something like
"Unable to retrieve songs from iTunes 7".

Really, this feature is useless. It sounds like it hasn't worked since
iTunes 7 was released many years ago, and only works with deprecated
software like iTunes 6 and earlier. This feature doesn't work with
modern software and should be removed, to prevent confusion.

Bug description:
  I tried to access some MP3s shared on a Windows computer with Itunes and the music sharing activated. It usually worked nice, but this time, it didn't.
First I checked if avahi-daemon was installed and working (It isn't installed and activated by default ...). Once started, I checked again, this time I see my Itunes share, but when I try to access it I have a : "Retrieving songs from music share", that never end.
Then I tried with Banshee, and same result, I can see the share but not get the list of the songs.

As I had this problem with both Rhythmbox and Banshee, I think that's more an avahi side  one.

I also tried to share my music and then to access with Itunes, there isn't any problem.

I'm running Edgy Eft, with the latest updates.
