Hey there, totally love what XBMC has become, it's been on my xbox since the day I got it (probably like 7 years? wow time flies by)

It's also on my mac and my media pc, so here is the thing. I did set up a daap server with firefly (http://www.fireflymediaserver.org).

It serves music to all my computers and also to my laptop when I am on the go. I also did setup crossfire (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffmcrossfire/files/) what is an awesome way to browse my music collection on my android phone or my ipod touch.

I really like that XBMC has daap support build in. But when I access my server it only shows a list of all songs alphabetical sorted. I t would be really nice to be able to browse them folder wise like

/artist/album/SONGTITLE

or sth. like that

any plugins that can do that?

thx a lot

hey I actually found a way to view the files now sorted in a nices way by scanning the source to my library, problem is now I can browse the libray by artist and album but the links to the files/streams are broken!

any ideas how to fix this?

DAAP should already list by album/artist and so on, assuming your server is serving that information up. If all you get is a big long list, then I suspect that's all your server is giving us. Feel free to have a nosy around in xbmc/FileSystem/DAAPDirectory.cpp. There looks as though there's a fair bit of debug information dumped into the debug log, so that may be a good place to start.

The easiest way to go may be to simply share your music via smb and scan it in to XBMC.

Cheers,

thx for the quick reply

I tried understanding the DAAPDirectory.cpp
(http://trac.xbmc.org/browser/branches/li...?rev=15677)

I think I did not really express my problem properly.

So like it is suppossed to, it does list all Songs by artist album song so the information is definatly fetched. The problem is that it just puts out one long list of all songs. I would like to browse it like in folders

/artist/albums/Song


because otherwise the list is pretty long

actually the daap support in XBMC is totally useless the way it is right now if you have a lot of songs.

I think I might switch to Samba or UPNP or something, what is kind of sad, DAAP is the only way I know of to have one database of all your musik and also get data like how often you played a song...

I know that since Daap isn't working natively with iTunes anymore because of the encryption, there has not much development been invested in this topic. But since Daap is the only way to really host your music colleciton for an audio geek and works so great with songbird etc. it might be worth some time

Did you do the debug log I suggested? If so, paste to pastebin.ca and link to it from here.

[damichi]

here is the log file, I hope I get some time to look into it myself tomorrow, got some work to finish first

A more useful log would be you actually browsing the DAAP share.
