HTTP streaming not working when running as root

[fl4p]

Hi all,

running gmediarender without root permissions works just fine.

However I need to run it with root permissions since I am using jackaudiosink for audio playback, and connecting to the jack server requires root permissions on this system.

As soon as I run "sudo gmediarender" the following errors appear on the console when starting to play an MP3 file:

ERROR [2014-06-03 23:14:29.612813 | gstreamer] uridecodebin1: Error: No URI handler implemented for "http". (Debug: gsturidecodebin.c(1285): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1)

Any ideas how to configure the HTTP handler for the root account? I already reinstalled the good-plugins package, without any success.

seems you need you pi user to be in the groups pulse AND pulse-access. To do this:

$ sudo gpassword -a pi pulse $ sudo gpassword -a pi pulse-access

But now I get this error:

gmediarender 0.0.7-git started [ gmediarender 2017-09-09_fa3baff (libupnp-1.6.19+git20160116; glib-2.50.3; gstreamer-0.10.36) ]. Logging switched off.

And to solve that I had to install this: $ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

I am also using the common pulseaudio, so I had to change the init script to use this option: --gstout-audiosink=autoaudiosink

And now it works I will commit these fixes soon
