[coherence-dev] Fwd: Having issues getting coherence working...

[Cecil Coupe]

Phil,

  Perhaps it is time to remember the goal. The Pioneer works with
mediatomb and a bare Coherence server [ with route add ...] (mediadb
backend). Doesn't work with your ampache configuration. Correct?  What
does work with your ampache configuration? Anything? Do either of those
log their exchanges? Have you tried the Ampache version numbering tweak
that Frank suggested a few day ago in the config?

There's always Wireshark (apt-get install wireshark). You have to run it
sudo to capture packets. Not pretty but mostly doesn't suck if you're
patient and know what to ignore. 

My advice is verify that some client (except the Pioneer/Coherence
mashup) can use your ampache configuration. Any client that works is a
base case.
