I got it working per your exact instructions, and it's running great.

I also went ahead on mine and set it to start automaticially with an SH script:
Code:

#!/bin/sh
(/bin/sleep 30; /drive0/bin/mt-daapd/mt-daapd -c /drive0/bin/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf) &

And Hijack wise, I added an option to kill the server.
Code:

;@AC ;@EXEC_ONCE /drive0/bin/mt-daapd.sh
;@AC ;@MENUEXEC Kill_dappd kill -9 `cat /drive0/bin/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.pid`


Thanks for the work on this.
