I know shairport isn't part of this project, but I've spent two evenings
on this and have to admit I'm not going find the answer without help.
(1) testing from the command line
Code:
--------------------
[root@wandquad ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/shairport
# OPTIONS="-a Shairport -o ao -- -d alsa -o dev=hw:0"
OPTIONS="-p 9002 -a Shairport -o ao -- -d alsa -o dev=default:CARD=imxspdif"
# OPTIONS="-a Shairport -o dummy"
[root@wandquad ~]# . /etc/sysconfig/shairport
[root@wandquad ~]# sudo -u shairport /usr/bin/shairport $OPTIONS
Listening for connections.
--------------------
All is well, I can play music and avahi-browse -a -r shows the
following:
Code:
--------------------
= eth0 IPv4 2029E6B0BD56@Shairport AirTunes Remote
Audio local
hostname = [wandquad.local]
address = [10.0.1.204]
port = [9002]
txt = ["pw=false" "txtvers=1" "vn=3" "sr=44100" "ss=16" "ch=2" "cn=0,1"
"et=0,1" "ek=1" "sm=false" "tp=UDP"]
--------------------
(2) Using systemd
Code:
--------------------
[root@wandquad ~]# unset OPTIONS
[root@wandquad ~]# systemctl enable shairport
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/shairport.service'
'/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/shairport.service'
[root@wandquad ~]# systemctl start shairport
[root@wandquad ~]# systemctl status -l shairport

--------------------
Looks okay, but the service is continually failing and restarting
Code:
--------------------
[root@wandquad ~]# tail -10 /var/log/messages

Feb 4 07:23:53 wandquad shairport: WARNING: couldn't create avahi client:
Daemon not running!
--------------------
The claim that the avahi-daemon is not running doesn't seem true, but
shairport is failing under systemd due to not being able to advertise
itself using MDNS.
Code:
--------------------
[root@wandquad ~]# systemctl status avahi-daemon.service
avahi-daemon.service - Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/avahi-daemon.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 1970-01-01 00:00:10 PST; 44 years 1 months
ago
Main PID: 385 (avahi-daemon)
Status: "Server startup complete. Host name is wandquad.local. Local service
cookie is 348406120."
CGroup: /system.slice/avahi-daemon.service
├─385 avahi-daemon: running [wandquad.local]
└─389 avahi-daemon: chroot helper
--------------------
I am mystified as to why running from the command line as user shairport
should be any different from running via systemd (also as user
shairport). I can get the shairport to stay running under systemd by
telling it to use a different MDNS backend (--mdns=tinysvcmdns), but
although it advertises itself, I can't get music to play. I really
should be able to use the installed and running avahi-daemon. Any help
would be appreciated.
