Hello, Is there any way to get rhythmbox to recognize an iTunes library over a ssh tunnel? I am using rhythmbox 0.9.2. I have a PowerMac at work serving my CD collection via iTunes. At home I have an eMac (desktop) and a Linux laptop. I can use my eMac at home to listen to my iTunes collection that sits at work. It involves 1) a ssh tunnel mapping office port 3689 to home port 4689, and 2) a program called Network (formerly Rendezvous) Beacon, which maps home port 4689 to home port 3689 using daap. When I try doing the same using avahi, I can't get it to work. First of all, I can confirm that when I take the laptop to work, it can discover the iTunes service and I can listen to the music hosted on my mac using rhythmbox on my laptop. So the sharing works perfectly there (thanks!) Now, when I use my laptop to try the same port-mapping trick (as for my eMac) at home, it doesn't work. Here is what I do
ssh -f -L 4689:127.0.0.1:3689 -N workcomputer avahi-publish-service iTunes _daap._tcp 4689 This didn't work---nothing comes up on rhythmbox. Then I tried ssh -f -L 3689:127.0.0.1:4689 -N 127.0.0.1 This didn't make rhythmbox recognize it either. I asked the avahi folks about this and they said that rhythmbox might be filtering out shares on the localhost. If so, is there a workaround that allows me to listen to my iTunes music sitting at work from a remote location? Thanks very much, Pausanias _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
