I gave up with trying to find a linux based apple/itunes compatible server.

I came at it from the other end - building a small linux box as my media server/network share. It shares over SMB and my main itunes library is on there. I have also installed ushare upnp server to server other upnp clients around the house. Currently using media streamer on the n800 - which works really well. It has very fast indexing of my 7000 odd songs (seperated into itunes organised folder structure).

As there are good upnp server apps to work on osx with your itunes library, i say, concentrate on that.

the sooner you can get a upnp client for canola the better - that would complete the app for me.

I use canola for pretty much all media based stuff now - except the need to use MediaStreamer to access my upnp server.

Love the youtube plugin BTW.
