I have installed mt-daapd and enabled sharing in amarok by clicking the share button. I have then forwarded the ports neccesary on my router I have then tried to access shared music from a windows version of itunes which is obviously detected but just seems to never finish loading.

Also if I try to access my amarok music share from iTunes on either of the two windows machines on my network. They both return unknown error messages and suggest I check the firewall (which i believe is an automated response for unknown errors as both the windows machines do not have firewalls).

Any ideas as to what could be going wrong? I used the first bit of this (http://en.opensuse.org/ITunes) guide (not 'the long way').

Maybe this answers your question.
