When setting up a Raspberry Pi with SqueezePlug, my favorite distribution for setting up a music server I always get the error message “avahi-daemon disabled because there is a unicast .local domain” because I have a lot of Apple equipment configured with Bonjour. To fix it, all you need to do is to edit /etc/default/avahi-daemon and change the line:
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=1
to
AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0
then restart the Avahi-daemon with
sudo service avahi-daemon restart
Problem solved.

I’m using rPlay on raspbian on my Raspberry Pi. But it still doesn’t show up on my iOS device. And the commands aren’t working

Thanks! My AT&T U-Verse router just decided a couple weeks ago to clobber my .local domain (at least I think that’s why all my Linux instances stopped working, unless it was an Ubuntu update) and I thought I was going to have to change “.local” on everything to something like “.death-to-att”
But your fix made all the pain go away. Thanks!
