Snapcast: shairport-sync flag error

[lealoureiro]

Hello,

After upgrading shairport-sync to lastest master branch, i can't start anymore AirPlay Stream:

May 19 21:29:03 leandro-homeserver snapserver[24731]: 2020-05-19 21-29-03 [Error] (AsioStream) Error during async wait: Operation canceled

Seems like they remove one of the flags...

I googled for you: seems you have to build it with --with-metadata:

--with-metadata to add support for Shairport Sync to pipe metadata to a compatible application of your choice. See https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync-metadata-reader for a sample metadata reader.

[lealoureiro]

you mean the shairport-sync itself or change the flag in snapcast?

[lealoureiro]

it worked compiling shairport-sync with flag --with-metadata

but i also had to add --with-stdout and --with-pipe

Cool, I will update the readme accordingly
