Dietpi: shairport-sync not working | Update binaries

Created on 25 Jan 2019  ·  12Comments  ·  Source: MichaIng/DietPi

Creating a bug report/issue:

on a fresh install on DietPi on Sparky/USBridge shairport-sync is running but the streams break down after some seconds or minutes.
My Apple devices find the shairport-sync-device. The devices are able to stream to shairport-sync. The stream is received and i can hear music via my Hifi. After some seconds or minutes the audio abort. On the iPhone it look like the music is still streaming, but i hear nothing.

I found no error in configuration.
I had no other idea then to do my own compilation of shairport-sync.
After loading shairport-sync from git (an all libraries it depending on), do the described steps from
https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
everything work flawlessly.

the only miracle i found in journalctl is:
Jan 22 03:14:14 DietPi shairport-sync[2181]: ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1713:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card

Because i found a workaround (compile shairport-sync by myself) you can close the issue. I want only publish it you.

thanks

Many thanks for the report + solution. 👍

Our current version binaries are shairport-sync_3.1.7. I'll rebuild latest and release for v6.20.

I test also spotifyd

It’s a spotify daemon based on rust language.

Advantage:

  • simpler user/password login - you do not need spotify_app_key
  • automation with scripts which run at start or stop music
  • auto discover without additional avahi daemon

Disadvantage:

  • password is readable in config on disk
  • can’t be controlled from outside

did you include libalac for shairport-sync ?

other question regarding mpd.
Do you update to 0.21.x ? in dietPi 6.20 ?

best regards

MPD is updated to 0.20.23
0.21.3 failed to build: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2377#issuecomment-450977281

short version: is compiled mpd 21.4 on DietPi and it works!

long version:

i asked you because following point from the 0.21.x mpd changelog sound very interesting:

  • output

    • alsa: non-blocking mode

      Today the problem with running shairport, spotifyd and mpd in parallel is, that mpd locks the alsa output. You have to stop streaming mpd before starting apple airplay or spotify

after your answer i start trying to compile mpd following the instructions on:
https://musicpd.org/doc/html/user.html

First i run into an error because the used build env named „meson“ (i never heard of this before; is it the typical me too project?, i’m simply too old)
So i have to download meson from stretch-backports and follow the instructions

apt-get -t stretch-backports install meson

source code download

cd mpd-0.21.4
meson . output/release --buildtype=debugoptimized -Db_ndebug=true

meson configure output/release

ninja -C output/release

ninja -C output/release install

i get a big bunch of notes like this :

/usr/include/c++/6/bits/stl_vector.h:1178:71: note: parameter passing for argument of type ‘__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator >’ will change in GCC 7.1
return _M_erase(__beg + (__first - __cbeg), __beg + (__last - __cbeg));

but mpd is build in version 21.4.

And YEP. MPD now uses a non blocking also mode. I can start airplay while streaming from mpd and it simply change.
So it would be a positive effect to change to mpd 21.4 for DietPi

one additional point:

i found that the build script "installed" /usr/local as location for mpd. therefore mpd expects its config file under /usr/local/etc .... So i linked it from /etc to /usr/local/etc

no idea to change it

i found that the build script "installed" /usr/local as location for mpd. therefore mpd expects its config file under /usr/local/etc .... So i linked it from /etc to /usr/local/etc

Yep, I had the same problem, I believe prefix=/usr may resolve this in configure or make section (cant remember).

Heres the build script I have:

# #compile
wget https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpd/0.20/mpd-0.20.23.tar.xz -O package.tar
#wget https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpd/0.21/mpd-0.21.3.tar.xz -O package.tar #https://www.musicpd.org/download/mpd/0.19/mpd-0.19.16.tar.xz

@seniorgod

that mpd locks the alsa output.

Yep. I actually prefer this as the audio hardware is dedicated to the active stream. Also ensures programs like Roon (which attaches directly to the hardware) play nice.

i found that the build script "installed" /usr/local as location for mpd. therefore mpd expects its config file under /usr/local/etc .... So i linked it from /etc to /usr/local/etc

Jep, we also found this and did the same for v6.20: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/2378#issuecomment-451315809

I get an answer from the mpd maintainer:

„...
If you want MPD to look for mpd.conf in /etc/ instead of /usr/local/etc/ (=Meson's default) configure with -Dsysconfdir=/etc.
…"
