Welcome to the mt-daapd documentation wiki.

This area of the site is designed to provide set-up and usage assistance to end-users of the mt-daap daemon. Help topics currently include information about installing and configuring the software on various systems. Contribution is welcomed by all, but we regret that anonymous edits have been disabled due to unethical miscreants vandalizing the site. One must create an account and login before adding or revising content. Nevertheless, anyone may browse the tree.

If you have a specific experience not currently covered, particularly with respect to installing mt-daapd on a specific system or troubleshooting a confounding issue, please consider authoring a document and contributing it for the benefit of others. Guidance on the process of wiki participation can be found on the "Help" page.
