Mike Ter Louw has brilliantly managed to port mt-daapd, the Firefly Media Server, to iPhone. Firefly makes use of your iPhone’s built in mDNS/Bonjour media service to stream audio to iTunes. Any iTunes. The one running on your home computer. The one running on a friend’s computer. Wherever. Stream from your iPhone to a quality audio system. Here’s how it works.
Navigate to http://home.mike.tl/iphone/ with Mobile Safari. that adds Mike’s repository to Installer.app. soon after launch Installer, choose Firefly and install it. Wait as the package builds your music database. that can take 5-10 minutes based on the size of your iTunes library.
On your computer–or any computer you’re
In iTunes, locate your shared library–it will be listed by the name of your iPhone. choose it and log in. Even whether you’re using 1.1.1, the media password still appears to be “dottie”.
Then just choose a song and play! that, ahem, rocks. A lot.
Update: TUAW Reader Jonathan adds: “Safari redirects to /beta/. I bypassed that by going into installer.app’s sources page and manually adding http://home.mike.tl/iphone/. Installer picked it up right away, and it’s building my music database now. “
