I finally got the Shairtunes plugin running on an old i386 Mac that is running the nightlies of LMS 7.9 and OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
I'm a novice in Terminal, but through a bunch of trial and--mostly--error and a lot of googling, I got it running and learned a bit of programming in the process. :) I installed all the dependencies (ex-avahi) listed on Stuart's readme (which are dependent on installing Xcode with CLI Tools and Homebrew first), but was getting hung up trying to install the plugin from repo via the LMS interface. After doing some debugging with the server.plugins log turned on, I found that the install.xml file has a Linux platform definition <targetPlatform>Linux</targetPlatform> that needed to be deleted. After deleting that line, the Shairtunes plugin loaded. Then I had to compile shairport_helper, which also threw me for a loop as the files in /shairport_helper/src/ included the alac and http object files. After deleting the .o files, I was able to compile the executable for OSX and move it into the PATH (usr/bin). Then, bingo! iOS 7 devices play great sound and no dropout to both hardwired and wireless squeezeboxes. However, when I try to play via iTunes, I get an error that "The AirPlay device cannot be found on your network." No record in the LMS server.log. Not sure what is going on there, but it could have something to do with the fact that I'm testing it from a rather bleeding edge MacBook Air running the Yosemite Beta and iTunes 12.0. Need to play around on some other machines around the house. As others have reported, I had to turn off IPv6 and player sync doesn't work. Also, no track info / artwork comes through, but I'm not sure if that is normal or not. I've attached the helper file compiled for the osx i386 32-bit. Given I'm a total novice, happy to help cobble together a step-by-step guide for others beginners attempting a Mac install. /end blog +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: shairport_helper-osx-32bit.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16206| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slackerini's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6997 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100379 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
