This is because rplayd isn't properly configured. When I run rplayd I get this error message: rplayd: bind: Address already in use I don't think this error is due to the firewall. Moreover, I have launched rplayd with debug option and only two more clues are given. That is : rplayd: running as group audio (29) rplayd: running as user nobody (65534) and if I change group and user the result is always the address-already-in-use error message. Has anybody any clues on this?
