Is iTunes Streaming Server really off?

[gonzonia]

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-ntgr]

Did you remember to click Apply after unchecking it?

[gonzonia]

Yes. And the NAS has been restarted many times with this behavior.

After 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-ntgr]

Are you comfortable with SSH?

[gonzonia]

Reasonably. 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-ntgr]

Removing 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

[gonzonia]

DAAPD=0
DAAPD_SUPPORT=1

[mdgm-ntgr]

So it is turned off. Removing the .service file then restarting avahi (either restarting Bonjour in Frontview or manually via SSH) should be sufficient.

[gonzonia]

It won't mess anything up to have references in the services file?

[mdgm-ntgr]

No, 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,

[gonzonia]

Okay, moved the file and reboot. Service didn't start. For some reason, iTunes still thinks it's there though. Time to move on for today though. Thanks for the help!

[mdgm-ntgr]

Quit iTunes and then reopen it.

What is the output of this command:

# ls -l /etc/avahi/services

It's possible the Bonjour service for iTunes is still there, even though the daemon is not running.

[gonzonia]

Sorry I didn't update earlier. I think the service just hadn't update the status. Thanks for the help
