it is not available you will see a message in the log file. In Debian/Ubuntu you
get MP3 encoding support by installing the package "libavcodec-extra".
## Remote access
It is possible to access a shared library over the internet. You must have remote
access to the host machine.
First log in to the host and forward port 3689 to your local machine. You now need to
broadcast the daap service to iTunes on your local machine. On macOS the command is:
```
dns-sd -P iTunesServer _daap._tcp local 3689 localhost.local 127.0.0.1 "ffid=12345"
```
The `ffid` key is required but its value does not matter.
Your library will now appear as 'iTunesServer' in iTunes.
