iTunes 10.5 does not load shared library files

It's a file in mt-daapd but i am unable to compile it.. it's stuck at checking for id3tag.h

the file does exist but it wont locate it, not even when i specify the location.

Hope someone else has more luck

Running a WDC mybook world and WDC sharspace both with current firmware as of 12/2/11 on windows 7 64bit. Itunes will not load either server librarys. When you click on either one it opens and atempts to load for a second then just shoots you back to your main library. Using Itunes 10.5.42 . . . .Is it a coincidence that itunes match is out and now the functionality of itunes servers is dropped? hmmm seems very Apple-like . . .

itunes 10.5.2 is out, does that fix this issue? please update since i wont be able to give this a try untill christmas break so

Not working with iTunes 10.5.2.11, Lacie Network Space 2 (2.1.2) on Windows 7. I can see it, but when I click on the NAS just bounce back to the Music section of iTunes.

I'm running mt-daapd 0.2.4.2 server side. 10.5.1 fixed it for me. 10.5.2 broke it again. To downgrade I simply removed the iTunes.app folder (sudo rm -R /Applications/iTunes.app) and reinstalled iTunes.

Apparently it didn't with iTunes 10.5.2 and Dlink DNS-320 NAS. :/

10.5.1 fixed it for me, 10.5.2 broke it again.... can i be a tester or something takes 5 mins to tell its broken!

10.5.1 fixed both on my QNAP and Iomega. 10.5.2 broke Iomega and work on QNAP.

😠 Apple does it again! Only a few months ago I ran into this exact same problem. I recently made the mistake of upgrading to ITunes 10.5.2.11. I have 3 out of my 4 computers on the this release now. My D-Link DNS-343 containing my shared iTunes Library can no longer can be accessed. This identical to the problem I faced about 2 months ago. It tries to connect and then fails. No message.

My 4th computer is running 10.5.1.42, my previous release. This released fixed the original defect. I can still access my shared library from this computer. It will remain on this release until Apple gets its house in order. Prior, the cure to the problem took about 3 weeks to happen, but it did fix my probem which spanned across my DNS-343 (4X2TB drives) and my DNS-321 (2X1TB Drives).

Clearly, Apple has a poor regression test system and poor testing practices, otherwise this bug would have been caught before the 10.5.2.11 release hit the streets.

My Lesson: NEVER upgrade to the new version of ITunes until a few weeks/month have passed. If you are fortunate and able, upgrade on 1 of your computers first and verify that the shared library can be accessed. Something tells me that this will be a recurring thing with Apple. Get you used it and mitigate your risks.

Just updated to iTunes 10.5.2.11 (windows 64bit) and attempted to connect to my Windows Home Server (original version not the 2011 version) and still no luck, same symptom as before, the connections icon spins forever. Ever since the first 10.5 release this has been broken for me.

Question: I'm not using iTunes Match so where can I get a copy of iTunes 10.4 to install? The last version I know was working for me was 10.4.1.10.

I added this discussion to the iTunes for Windows category also.

Still not working here with ReadyNas Ultra with the latest patch for iTunes for Windows (7 Ultimate 32-bit)

Doing the same thing as before... hangs for a couple of seconds when selecting my shared drive i.e. iTunes Server, then jumps to my main library where my files are currently stored on my laptop.

Still works with my Mac!! What will it take for Apple to implement the "logic" used on iTunes for Mac on the windows version!!

OK, I've fixed firefly for Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneric Ocelot) with some slightly modifications for this post

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372281?answerId=16577371022#16577371022

I have ubuntu 10.04 running to, on this box I added

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main

to /etc/apt/sources.list

I did on that machine a

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

but I didn't installed some missing dependencies.

I got the mt-daapd source with

sudo apt-get source mt-daapd

this will download the necessaty files into the working directory. I compiled ist on my 10.04 ubuntu and everything was fine. I put the whole stuff into an tar archive and transfered it to the ubuntu 11.10 box.

I was able to follow the 7 steps written by thomas, so I will only(!) describe the changes I made furthermore:

Step 1: Install the required packages

gpa is not available for 11.10, it's broken like written on some posts. Therefore you oinly need to install the rest via

$ sudo aptitude install devscripts debhelper dpatch libflac-dev libvorbis-dev libmpcdec-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libid3tag0-dev libtagc0-dev libavahi-client-dev libsqlite3-dev libjs-prototype libjs-scriptaculous avahi-daemon

Step 3: Create a temporary directory for the MT-daapd source files

Instead of sudo apt-get source mt-daapd untar the archive you made prior. I didn't check it adding the debian source to ubuntu 11.10 source.list will do the job too.

$ mkdir ~/mt-daapd

$ cd ~/mt-daapd

$ tar xzfv <name_of_your_archive>

4. Download the Patch in the Patch directory

$ cd ~/mt-daapd/mt-daapd-0.9~r1696.dfsg/debian/patches/

$ wget http://www.zero-factorial.com/coding/21_itunes10.5.dpatch

$ echo 21_itunes10.5.dpatch >> 00list

$ cd ../..

There is a need of a further patch for ubuntu 11.10, because it comes with a newer ffmpeg library. The patch is easy, so I skipped to make a patch-file.

$ cd src/plugins

open ssc-ffmpeg.c with your favorite editor and search for CODEC_TYPE_AUDIO (it's in line 281). Change this to AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO

$ cd ../..

$ cd configure --enable-sqlite3

(maybe last step is optional, I needed it for my AMD64 box)

From this point, you can follow https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372281?answerId=16577371022#16577371022
