Firefly incompatible with iTunes 10.5
I updated to iTunes 10.5 today. Unfortunately whilst I can see my Firefly libraries as shared libraries in iTunes I can no longer connect to them.
Apparently itunes 10.5 has broken the ability to connect to DAAP servers like FireFly, this is affecting other NAS makes as well since they all use the same obsolete Firefly code.
I have previously posted a feature request for NetGear to switch to the forked-daap instead. See viewtopic.php?f=18&t=55446
As I pointed out a user has managed to port it to the Qnap NAS which has similar Linux problems as the version of Linux on the ReadyNAS (i.e. an ancient version of libc).
As this is now the second time this year that Apple has broken support for daap, NetGear really, really need to wake up and replace the long discontinued FireFly code.
