GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 562291
Implement DACP, which iPhone's Remote.app uses with iTunes
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:30:27 UTC
DACP, Digital Audio Control Panel, is a protocol similar to DAAP, and is used by Apple's iPhone app Remote.app to control a remote iTunes installation. The protocol, at least for now, is unencrypted, beyond some sort of validation initially (the first time the iPhone is connected to the iTunes installation, iTunes must respond with a four-digit security code displayed on the iPhone). This should make it relatively simple to implement. I am not proposing a client; only the server, like iTunes. The port to OS X inspired this request, but obviously it could be useful on *nix platforms, as well.
By the way, I categorized this with DAAP because of the similarities. If this is incorrect, please move it to the correct component.
See also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625213. There is a Google Summer of Code-sponsored project to add DACP support to libdmapsharing.
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 Its codebase has been archived.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. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
