ANNOUNCE: AirPlay Bridge = integrate AirPlay devices with LMS (squeeze2raop)

[muflon_]

Gents,
it is possible to run more than one plugin instance? (for example via manual instalation? )
I would like to control 3 zones in my Denon receiver and this plugin can see only one device (as main zone)
Many thnaks

Is it even possible (with of without LMS) to have multiple instances of airplay running on the same receiver? I own 2 Denon AVR1912 Receivers and I know they cant do it. What could be done is repurpose an Airport Express as a dedicated Airplay renderer and use it as a source for your second zone.

kind regards,

I'm having an issue when I try to pair an ATV 4k, I get the following error when I enter the pin code and press pair:

The version of LMS etc from the log are:

Any suggestions as to how I might resolve this? It has never worked.

Just noticed that the newish "Authorised ports" field in settings displays as
HASH(0x98f8eb0)

My guess is this is to do with uninitialised fields and this being an upgrade rather than a fresh install.

I recently replaced the worn-out X86_64 machine that used to run LMS with a Raspberry Pi 4B running Rasberry Pi OS and (usually) the latest nightly of LMS 8.2.0. Setting everything up from scratch and not even referring to the previous settings, I've had a lot of problems with the AirPlay Bridge. Fortunately, in most cases I have been able to figure out what I did wrong to cause the problems. This is one of the exceptions.

Whenever the Pi reboots, the bridge starts up with LMS, but it never finds its players (five in all). After LMS has been running a few minutes, I can restart the bridge, and it will quickly connect with the players. The following errors in the server log seem to occur while it is successfully connecting with the players:

There are usually three iterations of that set of errors. I don't have any reason to think it's related, but maybe I should mention that three of the five speakers that I use with the bridge require encryption.

Without having any actual knowledge of the code involved, my uninformed guess is that the bridge is starting up too early. If that is the problem, is there anything I can do to delay its startup?

[Man in a van]

On the raspberry pi OS desktop

open raspberry pi config, there is a box to tick for "wait for network"

If using the lite raspberry pi OS 'headless' open a terminal and type sudo raspi-config and you should be able to set the same requirement from there

Many thanks, but that was already done. At least, I think it was already done, but I don't know of any way to check the current status of settings made in raspi-config. (Yes, this is a headless system.) So I am almost certain I had already done that, but just to be sure, I set it to wait for network (again) and rebooted. The bridge still didn't find players until it was restarted.

However, there was a change: this time, the concatenation errors did not appear in the server log.

Try running this line and then reboot

sudo apt-get install libio-socket-ssl-perl libnet-libidn-perl libnet-ssleay-perl perl-openssl-defaults

you don't need all of these, some should already be there, but nothing will hurt.

I'm just setting up a LMS 8.2

Just popped LMS 8.0 on a rpi OS desktop



and left everything at default



Seems to be working

Edit, changed log for correct one

Thanks again. All of those were already installed, so I added --reinstall to the command. No change.
