Homepod - >> Magicmirror #16

amaraliamagic commented 4 years ago

Hello, is there a solution to retrieve the homepod stream on Magic mirror, to have the information of the music played from the homepod.

Best regards,

you are reading my mind. I just want to "see" the information my HomePod(s) are playing. that would be so awesome.

Unfortunately, I do not have a Homepod so I cannot test this. The shairport utility acts on metadata of the audio stream sent to the device running magic mirror.

If the Homepod is directly connected to the mirror and is outputting audio then there is theoretically no additonal setup necessary (line out of magic mirror device connected to line in of Homepod).

However, it is more likely that you have set these up as separate devices. In that case, the music metadata is not available to the magic mirror.

If you are playing music from Spotify or some streaming service, there are trackers which use the streaming service APIs (nothing to do with airplay). In that case you might try to install a Magic mirror plugin for Spotify which tracks what is currently playing. In this case, when you play something on your Homepod or phone or even your car, the mirror should show what's playing.

If you find another way to do this and want to submit a pull request, I would be happy to take a look at it.

i noticed, that it would be nice to stream something to 2 HomePods + 1 sharepoint mirror (even without connected speakers). but I can't force it from my phone to stream to 3 devices where 2 are different types (sharepoint // HomePod).

maybe there will be an update from the other sharepoint team

i made it work for me: I can play something on my HomePods and include with airport 2 support my magic mirror to show what is played.

follow this guide: https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/development/BUILDFORAP2.md#build-and-install

you need to build shairport-sync from development branch and while doing that you need to add --with-metadata at this point: https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/blob/development/BUILDFORAP2.md#build-and-install

like this: ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-alsa \ --with-soxr --with-avahi --with-ssl=openssl --with-systemd --with-airplay-2 --with-metadata

I like the solution, its ok for me
