Amarok 2.1 and Fedora 11 KDE
Howto get Amarok 2.1 to see your “iTunes” share, or mt-daapd in this case, also known as firefly.
Obviously we begin by installing Amarok 
.
I installed a bunch of stuff trying to get this to work, most of it avahi-related, but the thing that got it working was nss-mdns.
Install a bunch of stuff:
`yum install avahi-qt4 avahi-dnsconfd avahi-compat-libdns_sd kdnssd-avahi avahi nss-mdns libopendaap`
EDIT: you only need nss-mdns, double checked.
Don’t forget to open the port in the firewall.
open port 5353
Fire up Amarok and listen away! Takes a while before you see your share, but it will show up.
Fedora 11
This is a short howto get the Nvidia drivers and multimedia stuff installed on your new Fedora 11.
I assume you have a newly installed system before following this. The first thing you want to do before you run
`yum update`
is to install yum-presto:
`yum install yum-presto`,
and save some time and bandwidth. Next up is to install dkms and the devel package for your running kernel,type in
`uname -r`
in your terminal, and if there is no PAE in there install kernel-devel:
`yum install kernel-devel`
Otherwise install kernel-PAE-devel:
`yum install kernel-PAE-devel`
Then run yum update, and when that’s done, reboot.
Nvidia drivers, for this we need to enable the RPMfusion repositories:
`rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm`.
Then install the driver, I use the akmod-nvidia package which builds the required module on reboot:
`yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i586 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64`,
then reboot.
When you get back you can go to http://www.adobe.com and download the yum flash-plugin for fedora, or click here and install:
`http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(YUM)`
The multimedia stuff is next:
`yum install flash-plugin gstreamer-ffmpeg gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly xine-lib-extras-freeworld gecko-mediaplayer`
That’s that, you should now be able to enjoy all of the webs offerings!
