Reach local iTunes library over the net
Authored by: Boufon on Apr 24, '08 02:03:20PM

When I posted this hint, I made a small mistake. So this hint could not work if your remote iTunes is connected on Internet with the same ISP.

To fix that you've to replace the first 'dns-sd' command with the following one :
dns-sd -P "name of server" _daap._tcp local 3690 localhost.local 127.0.0.1 &

To create a double-clicable shell script add the ".command" extension instead of ".sh" and the script can be double-clcked.

"Simplify media" is interesting but it uses a third party server. With this hint no third party server is required.

I think that the "Network Beacon" application is using exactly the same dns-sd command.

One strange thing I've noticed. If you enter 'man dns-sd' many options ar not described. To discover the other options, you have to enter dns-sd without any argument.
