Thanks for the post. Let me suggest that you take a look at the TROUBLESHOOTING.md page.

At a guess, there is some kind of network issue:

1. Is there a firewall operating somewhere?
2. Is there more than one connection from the Ubuntu machine to the local network?
3. Is one of the machines on a VPN?

Hi Mike, Thank you for you answer.

1 Is there a firewall operating somewhere? sudo ufw status [sudo] password for administrateur: Status: inactive

2. Is there more than one connection from the Ubuntu machine to the local network? no wifi is disabled.

3.Is one of the machines on a VPN? No, ubuntu is on the lan cable, mac is on the wifi. I can see apple tv on the same lan .

which port do you use for shairport-sync ? Maybe i have a port conflict with another app on the server ?

[karlzre]

My port 5005 is already used by another application, may this impact ? Can i change that port ?

[karlzre]

Just changed the port of the other app to 5006, i still can't see the linux pc from my macbook

[mikebrady]

Thanks. Shairport Sync listens on port 5000 for TCP connections and uses three ports from 6000 upwards for UDP connections.

So, I suggest you update to the latest version of Shairport Sync, version 3.3.7, in case your problems are caused by some long-since-fixed bug. There is a guide at INSTALL.md and you should pay particular attention to removing old startup and service scripts, as described therein.

Second, it does seem as if there is a problem between the Ubuntu device and your Mac. You can use avahi-browse on Ubuntu to check if the AirPlay service (_raop._tcp) is being advertised and you can use "Discovery" from TildeSoft on Mac or iOS to see if the service advertisement is being received..

Hi,

I just saw this from avahi-browser:

  lo IPv4 FE0AEEEA818A@Administrateur-iMac              AirTunes Remote Audio local

Does that mean that it's running on the loopback interface ?

[karlzre]

Discovery on my mac can see the linux pc.

I saw that i can see the linux in the settings/sound/output.

But not in then airplay in the mac osx taskbar.

then i think the issue was a pebcak. Thx for your support

I don't get that, no. Only on the active port , in my case wlan0. What command line arguments did you use?

Thanks. What's "pebcak"?

[p3ck]

pebcak = problem exists between chair and keyboard :-)

[mikebrady]

Haha — you learn something new every day!
