User's IP Address #9

I was wondering if there is a way to find the IP address of the user who is streaming the music at the given time.

Hi there, and thanks for the post. The IP number is known to Shairport Sync when streaming is occurring, so it would be possible to send it as a metadata item. I'll put it on the list of things to do. BTW, it could be IPv4 or IPv6.

Yes, I've seen it on the verbose output of Shairport Sync, was wondering if it was something it already logged to metadata or not. But thanks!

You can find it using mDNS while searching for dacp tcp named iTunesCtrl(DACP_ID) (which is already in the metadata). It's a little complicated but doable :)

There is a little about it here https://www.sugrsugr.com/index.php/airplay-prev-next/

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added a metadata item clip to the latest development version. I'd be obliged if you tried it out.

There's been a further update to this in the latest versions of Shairport Sync.
