Shairport

[Grenti]

Has anybody been able to compile shairport?

I tried yaourt -AS shairport and wasn't able to install?

[falker]

This one compiles fine:

https://github.com/albertz/shairport

Remove -D from the makefile.

But I can not get any sound working, just getting underrun.

edit:

Tried replacing the bsr opcode with arm clz, still getting underrun, not sure where the issue is.

I compiled some packages
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U http://myplugbox.com/shairport/perl-socket6-0.23-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U http://myplugbox.com/shairport/perl-io-socket-inet6-2.65-2-arm.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U http://myplugbox.com/shairport/shairport-0.04-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz')
Seems to be working, albeit not as a daemon, now what does it actually do? I got a wkg soundcard on the dockstar.

It acts as a target for AirPlay for iTunes & iOS devices.

[pepedog]

I kinda guessed it was this. It appeared once in remote app on iPhone, then was gone, it started iTunes on PC to play.
Saw this
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@PBLinux shairport]# shairport
listening...

192.168.2.250 has a daap running, but think it's an IP6 red herring.

[pepedog]

OK, now I see it
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'REQ: RECORD
ERROR: Failed to load plugin /usr/lib/ao/plugins-4/libesd.so => dlopen() failed

overrun.

underrun.

underrun')

[pepedog]

I thought this would fix it, it stops choppy usb sound
/etc/asound.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
')
And then reboot
mocp plays without being choppy now, but shairport still has underrun and no sound, is there transcoding going on with shairport?

[Grenti]

I am pretty sure there is no transcoding going on, but I'm not positive. I mostly get errors when using it. some kind of segmentation fault then it just stops.

[pepedog]

Tried the github version, something about ao alsa writing to an address problemnan speaker popping sound.
No seg faults in either version (0.5 and git) but still overruns

[pepedog]

I got this running, but don't know how to package with files off github
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/albertz/shairport/tarball/master
tar xzf master
cd albertz<use your tab key here to fill out the rest>
make
make install')
to run you do this
/usr/local/bin/shairport.pl
to daemonize
/usr/local/bin/shairport.pl -d
to stop
killall shairport.pl

underrun's still occasionally happen, but it plays about 50% quicker without raising pitch, quite comical.
