- OwnTone is a DAAP (iTunes), MPD (Music Player Daemon) and RSP (Roku) media
server. It supports AirPlay devices/speakers, Apple Remote (and compatibles),
MPD clients, Chromecast, network streaming, internet radio, Spotify and LastFM.
It does not support streaming video by AirPlay nor Chromecast.
DAAP stands for Digital Audio Access Protocol which is the protocol used by
iTunes and friends to share/stream media libraries over the network.
OwnTone was previously called forked-daapd, which again was a rewrite of
mt-daapd (Firefly Media Server).

- pkg-message:
- For install:
- owntone uses FFmpeg for transcoding audio playback.
The default ports/pkg build of FFmpeg on FreeBSD has a number
of options which could be SET/UNSET to provide support for
additional audio codecs.
If you find owntone does not support the audio codecs you
require, it is recommended to recompile the multimedia/ffmpeg
package from ports with the necessary options ENABLED (SET).
You should review and edit the owntone configuration
file /usr/local/etc/owntone.conf before first use.
To automatically start owntone at boot time:
# sysrc 'dbus_enable=YES'
# sysrc 'avahi_daemon_enable=YES'
# sysrc 'owntone_enable=YES'
To then manually start owntone without rebooting:
# service dbus start
# service avahi-daemon start
# service owntone start
