Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install dmapd on Fedora 34.

What is `dmapd`

The dmapd project provides a GObject-based, Open Source implementation of DMAP sharing with the following features o Support for both DAAP and DPAP o Support for realtime transcoding of media formats not natively supported by clients o Support for many metadata formats, such as those associated with Ogg Vorbis and MP3 (e.g., ID3) o Detection of video streams so that clients may play them as video o Use of GStreamer to support a wide range of audio and video CODECs o Caching of photograph thumbnails to avoid regenerating them each time the server restarts Dmapd runs on Linux and other POSIX operating systems. It has been used on OpenWrt Linux-based systems with as little as 32MB of memory to serve music, video and photograph libraries containing thousands of files. dmapd 0.0.86 4.fc34 x86_64 113 k dmapd-0.0.86-4.fc34.src.rpm fedora A server that provides DAAP and DPAP shares http GPLv2+ The dmapd project provides a GObject-based, Open Source implementation of DMAP sharing with the following features o Support for both DAAP and DPAP o Support for realtime transcoding of media formats not natively supported by clients o Support for many metadata formats, such as those associated with Ogg Vorbis and MP3 (e.g., ID3) o Detection of video streams so that clients may play them as video o Use of GStreamer to support a wide range of audio and video CODECs o Caching of photograph thumbnails to avoid regenerating them each time the server restarts Dmapd runs on Linux and other POSIX operating systems.
