Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
I have an mt-daapd server running on another box on the network. iTunes connects to it with no problems via zeroconf, so I know the DAAP server side of things is not at fault.
Amarok auto-detected the mt-daapd server via zeroconf, which impressed me. However, it won't play anything from it. When I drag a track into the playlist and then double-click it, I get a pop-up error message:
Error Loading Media
No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes.

Based on comments around similar bugs (e.g. #83074 about last.fm), I have also
(a) checked that localhost resolves correctly to 127.0.0.1 (via ping),
(b) checked that lo interface is up via ifconfig, and
(c) checked that libxine-extracodecs is installed for MP3 support

thanks for the bug report. 10-plugins- ugly (for mp3 support)
which version of ubuntu are you running?
which versions of amarok and mt-daap are you running?
do you have any firewall software running?
can you test with rhythmbox, you will need to enable DAAP music sharing in edit->plugins, and install gstreamer0.
