No shairport directory #1

When I git clone from your https, I am next not able to cd to shairport, it tells me that the directory does not exist.

Am I missing something?

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ git clone https://github.com/gonewest818/rpi-music-recipes.git Cloning into 'rpi-music-recipes'... remote: Counting objects: 70, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (43/43), done. remote: Total 70 (delta 27), reused 61 (delta 25) Unpacking objects: 100% (70/70), done. pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd shairport -bash: cd: shairport: No such file or directory

Thanks for all your help. I recently purchased a "hifi berry" dac and am excited to see if this really improves the sound as much as I hope it well.

Sorry, after cloning it should be

cd rpi-music-recipes/shairport

And then run the pi-shairport2.sh script.

I'll be testing this today with the latest raspbian img downloaded from their website -- it's been a while since I've done a complete install from scratch.

So far so good.

I see above that you use pi-shairport2.sh, where as in your read me you do not have the 2

I used the "2" script and that appears to be working......

That was a really slick install. Thanks.

On reboot the small triangle AirPi symbol appears on my iphone, but there is no audio coming out of the pi. Great so far however.....

... sloppy documentation on my part, thanks for the feedback. I fixed the readme.

for the silence issue, I suspect you'll need to edit your alsa.conf also... I'm building up a second raspberry pi from scratch with these same scripts, so I'll confirm by Sunday night what I needed to do, and update the recipe accordingly.

Incidentally, you are now running my fork of shairport with an experimental fix for the 'silence bug' I reported over in the other project. I don't know if @abrasive is going to approve that fix, or another similar fix proposed by a different developer, so we'll just have to watch and see. If he accepts one of those patches then I'll switch back to the official version.

I saw the read me. No worries. Again your install is the slickest and most streamlines I have used so far. It was very easy. We'll done. I look forward to any future updates you might present. Thank you for all the hard work that you are putting in. I have been excited about this project for many months now and am grateful that you are willing to assist a total newbie like me through a world that I don't understand. I hope that your new pi set up works on Sunday.

FYI - I started with a fresh raspbian install (the 2014-06-20 build) downloaded this morning and written to my flash card. The shairport recipe shown here installed perfectly and audio coming out of the headphone jack as expected. I didn't have to change anything in the script at all...

daveloveland commented 10 years ago

It installed perfectly, and I even got the dac working. Thanks. However when I unplug the HDMI and the Ethernet (I'm using wireless), the airplay symbol disappears. The same happened this avo when trying to run raspbmc. Is there something I don't know about uuugging the HDMI? I am stealing the family telly to set up the pi so it can not remain plugged in. Slick instAll again though and the sound through the dac is awesome. I recommend it if you want hi fi quality sound.

gonewest818 commented 10 years ago

Great. If you tell me how you got the DAC working I can put it in the script too.

I can't imagine how unplugging the hdmi cable has anything to do with the airplay connectivity? More likely it's the wireless ethernet dongle not actually working properly, and so unplugging the ethernet cable is dropping the Pi completely off your network.

There are some iphone apps like "Fing" that can scan your wireless network and tell you what devices are connected. That might give you some info what's going on.

Here is the link to the hifiberry code page.

I will try rebooting the pi again and see if that sorts it. Raspian comes with the drivers for my dongle already installed so I suspects a reboot will work. To be honest I was playing with this late last night and didn't allow myself time to trouble shoot properly before I was too tired.

gonewest818 commented 10 years ago

Dave, note that I pushed a set of changes to the repo. I've confirmed that my forked version of shairport isn't necessary on raspberry pi if I switch to using the ALSA driver rather than libao.

So when/if you get back to looking at this you might want to "git pull" and then re-run pi-shairport2.sh to get those changes. Reinstalling shairport shouldn't interfere with the setup of the hifiberry, as far as I can see.
