INSTALL DEPENDENCIES

bash code
​yum install libid3tag libid3tag-devel howl-devel gdbm-devel zlib-devel​


CREATE A TEMP DIRECTORY TO WORK WITHIN

bash code
​mkdir /tmp/mytunes cd /tmp/mytunes​


GET mt-daapd, EXTRACT, BUILD, INSTALL IT

bash code
​wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mt-daapd/mt-daapd-0.2.4.2.tar.gz tar -xzf mt-daapd-0.2.4.2.tar.gz cd mt-daapd-0.2.4.2 ./configure make make install​


MOVE FILES NOT INSTALLED BY 'make install'

  • First, edit mt-daapd.conf to match our needs.
bash code
​vi contrib/mt-daapd.conf​

change web_root to /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root

change mp3_dir to /var/hda/files/music
change servername to myTunes
change extensions to .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.ogg,.flac
change rescan_interval to 600

change # always_scan 0 to always_scan 1 (Don't forget to remove the #)

bash code
​cp contrib/mt-daapd.conf /etc/ cp contrib/mt-daapd /etc/init.d/ chown nobody /etc/mt-daapd.conf chmod 600 /etc/mt-daapd.conf​


MAKE SURE mt-daapd STARTS AT BOOT

bash code
​mv /usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd /usr/bin /sbin/chkconfig --add mt-daapd /etc/init.d/mt-daapd start​


  • If everything went right, your music server is now running.

CLEAN UP

bash code
​cd .. rm -rf /tmp/mytunes​


CREATE AN AMAHI DASHBOARD LINK

  • Login to your Amahi dashboard. Click 'Apps', 'Webapps' then 'New Web App'
  • Give your app a name like 'myTunes'
  • Keep the default path and click 'Create'.

LINK mt-daapd WEB INTERFACE WITH AMAHI DASHBOARD

  • Go back to Terminal.
bash code
​vi /var/hda/web-apps/myTunes/html/index.html​


NOTE: to use the app name you entered, if something other than 'myTunes'.

  • Enter the following and save:
Text
​<html> <head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://hda:3689"></head> </html>​


bash code
​chown apache:apache /var/hda/web-apps/myTunes/html/index.html​


ENJOY

Go back to the Amahi Dashboard and click on the link to your new web app, it should bounce straight to mt-daapd's web interface where you can modify the app settings, check status, etc. (Login Credentials: mt-daapd/mt-daapd)
