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

[Stefan Lasiewski]

I agree with @Artem Baguinski. If the Ubuntu program does not support
this newer protocol, then the program should say something like "iTunes
7 and above are not supported". I believe that the Apple iTunes client
will advertise it's version, so hopefully this would be easy to detect.

Currently, Rhythmbox says it's connecting to the remote iTunes share,
and will sit there forever. This is misleading and bad behavior.

** Summary changed:

- Rhythmbox & daap with itunes 7 doesn't work correctly
+ Rhythmbox & daap with itunes 7, 8, 9, 10 doesn't work correctly

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.
