Screenshot from Firefly, a daapd server for AppleTV and Mac OS X
It’s running happily, and I have a
screen
session busily copying all my mp3’s from my Mac Pro downstairs to
the 1TB external drive hooked up to the AppleTV. This is a great solution, since it means we can have a music server available all the time
without having to keep my power-hungry, 4-core machine on all the time. Apparently there is another AppleTV plugin that does BitTorrent,
so I may at last be able to turn off my computer at night!
