I have Firefly Media Server running on my desktop/home server and it's working fine with my XBMC boxes. However, I want to set it up to stream music from my wife's laptop as well, but I can't get it to work. I think it's because she has a password set on the administrator account on the laptop.

I set up Firefly on her computer and am able to connect to it from iTunes on my desktop, but it prompts me for her password before I can get in. My XBMC boxes are unable to see or connect to the DAAP server on her computer at all.

I have tried the syntax:

daap:\\ip_address:3689 (this works for my desktop, which isn't password protected)
daap:\\username:password@ip_address:3689

Neither of these work. Note that I am able to connect to Samba shares on her computer using the username and password.

Am I S.O.L. in that daap doesn't support passwords? Or is there some way to do this that I have not thought of?

Thank you!
