Description:

The dmapd project provides a GObject-based, Open Source implementation
of DMAP sharing with the following features:

o Support for both DAAP and DPAP

o Support for realtime transcoding of media formats not natively
supported by clients

o Support for many metadata formats, such as those associated with Ogg
Vorbis and MP3 (e.g., ID3)

o Detection of video streams so that clients may play them as video

o Use of GStreamer to support a wide range of audio and video CODECs

o Caching of photograph thumbnails to avoid regenerating them each time
the server restarts

Dmapd runs on Linux and other POSIX operating systems. It has been
used on OpenWrt Linux-based systems with as little as 32MB of memory
to serve music, video and photograph libraries containing thousands of
files.
