I can't get pulseaudio- dlna running on my raspberry PI...

[Daniel-Ebert]

When I start it, I get the following: pulseaudio-dlna --debug 11-21 11:36:04 pulseaudio_dlna.rules DEBUG Loaded rules: 11-21 11:36:04 pulseaudio_dlna.rules DEBUG DISABLE_DEVICE_STOP = <class 'pulseaudio_dlna.rules.DISABLE_DEVICE_STOP'> 11-21 11:36:04 pulseaudio_dlna.rules DEBUG FAKE_HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH = <class 'pulseaudio_dlna.rules.FAKE_HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH'> 11-21 11:36:04 pulseaudio_dlna.rules DEBUG REQUEST_TIMEOUT = <class 'pulseaudio_dlna.rules.REQUEST_TIMEOUT'> 11-21 11:36:04 pulseaudio_dlna.notification ERROR notify2 could not be initialized!

Try the following: Edit File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pulseaudio_dlna/listener.py", line 110 to:

b'4sl', socket.inet_aton(address.encode('ascii', 'ignore'), socket.INADDR_ANY)

Added a "b" before "'4sl'" and added a ".encode('ascii', 'ignore')" after "address"

[Daniel-Ebert]

Okay, thanks so far. I've edited the line to this here : b'4sl', socket.inet_aton(address.encode('ascii', 'ignore')), socket.INADDR_ANY) what removed the second error. Now it still looks like this pulseaudio-dlna 11-21 12:23:36 pulseaudio_dlna.notification ERROR notify2 could not be initialized!

Oh so okay, I'm really sorry about my incompetence. pulseaudio wasn't installed ;)

Thanks really much for your help!

With best regards

Okay, so I've installed pulseaudio now, but now I've got another error during the discovery of devices 11-21 13:09:36 pulseaudio_dlna.pulseaudio INFO Could not get default sink. Perhaps there is no one set?

[masmu]

No problem. Don't hesitate to ask.

Edit File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pulseaudio_dlna/pulseaudio.py", line 196, in and prefix the string with "b" name += struct.pack(b'<B', b)

I have no idea why the librarys on your RPi do not accept Unicode... On every other distribution I have seen they do accept Unicode.

[Daniel-Ebert]

Oh thank you very much. That finally did the trick.

Hello again,

yesterday I've already were able to run pulseaudio-dlna sucessfully on my raspberry PI. Today, I always get the error: Added the device "marantz:NR1602". 11-22 13:33:23 pulseaudio_dlna.pulseaudio INFO on_device_updated "/org/pulseaudio/core1/sink2" 11-22 13:33:23 pulseaudio_dlna.listener INFO Discovery complete. 11-22 13:33:24 pulseaudio_dlna.pulseaudio INFO _async_handle_sink_update /org/pulseaudio/core1/sink2 11-22 13:33:24 pulseaudio_dlna.pulseaudio INFO Instructing the device "marantz:NR1602" to play ... 11-22 13:33:34 pulseaudio_dlna.plugins.upnp.renderer ERROR REGISTER command - Could no connect to http://192.168.2.101:8080/AVTransport/ctrl.

Cause I've got some issues I reinstalled pulseaudio and tried to remake the configuration I've made yesterday. As you see it does not work. Where could the error probably be ?

[masmu]

Could you re-run the application via the following command?

pulseaudio-dlna --debug 2>&1 | tee -a debug.log

This will create a debug.log in the current directory. Could you paste it somewhere and link it here?

[Daniel-Ebert]

Okay, it was a problem related to my Marantz device. After restarting the device completeley it works again ;). Thanks anyways for your help !

[masmu]

Ok, no problem. Some devices need to be in a certain mode so that control commands work. E.g. yahama devices needs to be in server mode.
