Barney's blog. Just a load of old shite really.

I've been using mt-daapd on Linux as my home iTunes server for some time now, and love it. It's not as feature-rich as sharing from iTunes (playlists are more clunky and video support is not there in the stable version yet), but it is a true server, so you don't have to be logged in for it to be running. Also, I have found it to be rock-solid stable.
Anyway, it seems that the project has moved on, and is now the FireFly Media Server Project. It's still all done by Ron Pedde, but the project is expanding to include a server for Windows (beta) and support for Mac OS X planned. It would appear that since mt-daapd supports the Roku Soundbridge, Roku themselves are somehow supporting Ron's work, but it's all still Open Source.
Good news all round, I feel :)
