Having issues connecting to Snapcast Server / Mopidy #6

Hello I have Mopidy and Snapcast running in docker and wanted to get this LedFx container setup to work with them but am having a couple of issues.

My Mopidy has an audio output that is output = audioresample ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw,rate=48000,channels=2,format=S16LE ! filesink location=/tmp/snapfifo

From what i can tell this LedFx container is looking for an output in a file called stream. So if i change the Mopidy out to output = audioresample ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw,rate=48000,channels=2,format=S32LE ! filesink location=/tmp/stream

LedFx can access that, however that then renders my snapcast unavailable as it is wanting snapfifo.

So my question is how would i get this all working together, what files do i need to edit to have this all work in sync. If this is a mopidy config file setting, and someone has an example i can look at that would be great. I'm just a little confused at how this all works together.

I'm pretty sure you can send Mopidy directly into Snapcast, so what you'd want to do is Mopidy -> Snapcast -> LedFxDocker. To connect Snapcast and LedFxDocker, use the HOST environment variable. Don't set the FORMAT environment variable, so you don't need to actually use the stream file that LedFxDocker creates.

Check out the examples/stream folder. There's a dockerfile that has LedFx, Mopidy, Snapcast, and Shairport sync all working together and documented. Credits to Spiro-C
