Is the share exported by iTunes 7? If so, there's really no hope of getting it to work. Apple added some nasty new "features" that keeps its shares from being accessed by non-iTunes 7 clients.

Yes it's from iTunes 7 :-(
Can you please give me some reference to get information on this problem?

As noted in comment #1, this is a problem for all third-party clients for an iTunes 7 server as well as iTunes < 7 acting as a client.  For example this is also a problem with rhythmbox: bug #356627.

See: http://www.snorp.net/log/2006/09/12/itunes-7/#comments for more details.

By the way, is there really no hope of reverse engineering the newly revised protocol?  The comment in

http://www.snorp.net/log/2006/09/12/itunes-7/#comments 

suggests that it would be possible.

Offcourse it's possible, someone just has to do it. I'll gladly do it if someone sponsors me two macs ;-).

The wording in the blog comment was:

"This is being worked on, and hopefully a new open specification will be out soon."

so I figured that since there haven't been any updates, that it was "worked on", and perhaps abandoned because Apple made it tough to crack.

I'm going to drop this to an enhancement. As far as I'm concerned this is not a defect in our software - it's a defect in Apple's. Someone will crack it eventually, but it's certainly not a priority of this project.

tcpdump: rhythmbox - itunes handshake failing

Marking low priority as per Aaron's remark in comment #7.

Not much use without the private key but I'm fairly certain that this is what the server uses for encrypting the data:

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
