shairport-sync not autostarting on 2.163?

[nilsbecker]

i recently flashed a new 2.163 image on my rpi3. most things work, but i do not see volumio appear as an airplay output device on my mac.

when i manually run /usr/local/bin/shairport-sync i'm able to get volumio offered as an audio streaming target. how can i fix this so this is automatically started?

Could be initialization problem: did you let very first boot (after flashing) complete for about 8mn before restarting or changing anything?

[nilsbecker]

i cannot say anymore. 50/50. can i copy some config files to appropriate places manually?

Systemd service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service) appears to have incorrect ExecStart path.

'volumio@volumiokitchen:/lib/systemd/system$

cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service [Unit] Description=ShairportSync AirTunes receiver After=sound.target Requires=avahi-daemon.service After=avahi-daemon.service

[Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/shairport-sync User=shairport-sync Group=shairport-sync

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target'

[macmpi]

hum... So there are duplicate services? /lib/systemd/system/airplay.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service

Maybe the latter one is installed by default by shairport package and should probably be removed in Build post install in volumioconfig.sh (or expunged from repo archive)?

[chsims1]

Ahh, that's confusing. Airplay.service is active (starts shairport-sync). The other one (shairport-sync.service) with the incorrect path isn't ... sorry, my mistake.

@nilsbecker Is your airplay.service file active/enabled?

Interesting, my service file looks like this - notice the different user.

[nilsbecker]

should i just systemctl start airplay?

[nilsbecker]

ok i tried that -- airplay shows up. then i did systemctl enable and rebooted.

seems to be working now! now only the crash after switching to the software mixer remains...

thanks!
