Snapcast & shairport configuration, how to setup so that client reads the data correctly

[chrisjstevo]

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for creating this great project. Am having a great time with it and hope to be able to contribute back now I have it building/running from source.

I wanted to ask a quick question re: Shairport integration. When I run shairport-sync from command line (Ubuntu) I'm able to pair my phone to it and play a song. All good.

When I try and use shairport as a source for snapcast, I can pair to it. I can send audio across, the server loads a bunch of meta, all good. But the client does not log any data received and the song is never played.

Am I setting the source up right? It looks almost as if the server is trying to play it...

//I changed the port to not collide with installed shairport daemon. I killed the daemon also to make sure they are not interacting.

source = airplay:///usr/bin/shairport-sync?name=Shairport&devicename=HomeAudioAirPort&password=foobar&port=5002

I'm able to get the whole she-bang working with the librespot.

Any help much appreciated.

Chris

Sorry ignore this, I've installed the android client and I can see in that you can change which stream you want to use. When I switch it to Airplay from Spotify everything is sweet.
