Is iTunes Streaming Server really off?
I have a ReadNAS NVX Pioneer and I'm noticing that even though I have iTunes Streaming Server unchecked it still shows up in iTunes. Is this normal behavior?

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredDid you remember to click Apply after unchecking it?
- gonzoniaAspirantYes. And the NAS has been restarted many times with this behavior.
- gonzoniaAspirantAfter an OS re-install I see this in the log.
Nov 17 10:52:59 ReadyNas avahi-daemon[3450]: Service "ReadyNas iTunes Server on ReadyNas" (/etc/avahi/services/mt-daapd.service) successfully established.
In Frontview the iTunes Streaming Server is unchecked (v 1.0.3).
How can I remove this from the services starting up? - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredAre you comfortable with SSH?
- gonzoniaAspirantReasonably. I don't play around in terminal too much anymore but know enough to to randomly change things without understanding what I'm doing. I wasn't sure if just removing the .service file would fix the issue or if there was a .conf file I needed to tweak.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredRemoving that file should work (would need to restart avahi for the change to take effect).
Also what do you see if you do this?:
# cat /etc/default/services | grep DAAPD - gonzoniaAspirantDAAPD=0
DAAPD_SUPPORT=1 - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredSo it is turned off. Removing the .service file then restarting avahi (either restarting Bonjour in Frontview or manually via SSH) should be sufficient.
- gonzoniaAspirantIt won't mess anything up to have references in the services file?
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredNo, leaving those is fine. DAAPD=0 indicates that it is disabled. If you remove those lines you would have to add them back or do an OS Re-install to be able to use the iTunes Streaming Server again,
