Cannot play on Any Airplay Device #1740
Comments
Are the Airplay speakers shown in the speaker list? (I didn't read the log since it's rather lengthy) I guess in any case the most likely cause is that you are running in a container. Btw I would suggest dropping the per speaker config, it shouldn't be necessary. |
Yes, the Airplay speakers are showing in the speaker list. When I try to activate one of them (to play a song through one of them), I see the handshake between the AirPlay speaker (HomePod Mini) in the debug log, but then nothing happens. Should I do something with the firewall and ports? |
Airplay opens connections both ways and using random ports, so you should try disabling any firewall. If you have another Airplay speaker, then give that a shot too. While HomePod Mini should work, I think it can be set in the Home app to some grouping mode that can cause difficulties (my memory is a bit vague on that - I don't have one myself).
People run it on all sorts of platforms, but the easiest is probably a Pi, where you can just add the repo (see the Install instructions). @hacketiwack has also made it available via Docker, if you prefer a container, so that should also be quite easy. |
@BenDataAnalyst, I never used Linux Containers (LXC). Just a side note about OwnTone. OwnTone itself is quite easy to get. However, it might be difficult to get it run properly, mostly because, it requires avahi (Bonjour protocol) which in turn might require a specific network configuration. |
Just chiming in: I am running owntone in an LXC container under Proxmox. Didn't have to do any thing, using the default bridged network interface. Avahi installed, without any special work besides apt install. |
I today made a post about owntone not working with my homepod mini (airplay). It used to work and the only thing I recently changed was this setting in the conf file: Strangely enough is has worked (I think) but now it does not. I reverted the setting to ipv6 = no and now it all seems to work again. |
I close this issue. I will follow up later. |
Hello,
I've spent two evenings on this issue, trying to read the former issues on GitHub and also on other forums, but no luck so far.
Here are the details:
