Package: avahi-daemon Version: 0.6.15-2 Severity: important Hello, I use mt-daapd and thus avahi-daemon on a Thecus n2100 embedded ARM box. I routinely find that the shares do not appear on workstations on the same LAN after a period of inactivity. Restarting the daemons via /etc/init.d results in them re-appearing.
Here's an example, with times:
Tue Jan 16 19:32:10 GMT 2007
I am confident that mt-daapd and avahi-daemon were running
on the n2100 when I last looked. However neither the n2100
as a Workstation or as an Itunes share are present in
"avahi-discover" on my workstation, nor rhythmbox (my
primary daapd client).
Looking on the server, the mt-daapd and avahi-daemon
processes are indeed present. I restart mt-daapd and it
shows up in avahi-discover and rhythmbox on my client.
Tue Jan 16 21:58:32 GMT 2007
I've been away from the computer for about 90 minutes,
during which rhythmbox has been idle. On return, I see that
the mt-daapd share is not visible in rhythmbox anymore and
the workstation/itunes entries are missing from
avahi-discover.
Logging onto the server, the mt-daapd and avahi-daemon
processes are present. Looking at the logs (mt-daapd.log,
I've configured it to log outside of syslog), I can see
that I last played a tune 100 minutes ago. There are also
two further log messages:
2007-01-16 20:19:20 (00084005): Session 1: Streaming file
'207-the_cure-airlock-the_soundtrack.mp3' to 192.168.123.110 (offset 0)

(204: Logout Successful)
2007-01-16 21:20:24 (00088004): Thread 29: could not read: Timer

There is nothing further from avahi-daemon or from mt-daapd
in any other files (e.g. syslog).
I can turn up debugging for mt-daapd, but I'm not sure how
to do that for avahi-daemon, at least not cleanly: I may
file a separate wishlist bug to ask for support for this in
/etc/default/avahi-daemon or similar. For now I've hacked
the --debug option directly into /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon.
I'll report back to this bug if I get more info as a result
of this hack.
Because the "workstation" entries disappear from
avahi-discover in addition to the itunes share, I think
this might be an avahi-daemon bug, rather than one
specific to mt-daapd.
Restarting mt-daapd results in the itunes share returning,
but not the workstation entry: restarting avahi-daemon
results in the workstation entry returning, but not the
itunes share.
