Reinstalling shairport

[dror]

I have two Rpis each running Rune.
I think somehow my shairport is broken on one of them, as no Airplay source connects successfully. I tested the sources with the other Rpi and the connection is successful.

I want to avoid starting the faulty machine with a new image. Can I just repair (reinstall) Shairport?

Thanks,
Dror

Hi dror,
shairport is no longer supported, so there is no standard installation available in the Arch Linux repositories. However there is a build package on the Runeaudio github site, here: https://github.com/RuneAudio/RuneOS/tre ... rport-rune. But I do not see an arch6h tar.xy version for the Pi 1 (model A, B, B+, etc.). So, a reinstall would only be possible for an arch7h Pi 2/3 B. It's the same story for the shairport-sync (replacement for shairport), this will only work on the Pi 2/3 B, see here: replace-shairport-with-shairport-sync-ios-9-compatibility-t2872.html#p9817

Hi janui,

Thanks for the reply. I have a rpi2.
Is there a "one line" (or more..) command for installation from the rune git?

Hi dror,
This should work:

Code: Select all

pacman -U https://github.com/RuneAudio/RuneOS/raw/master/packages/shairport-rune/shairport-rune-1.1.1-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

Hi,

Instead of reinstalling shairport I decided to try installing an up-to-date shairport-sync from the link janui gave. This is because I found the merged (but not activated) shairport-sync version (coming with 0.4) to play very well with TuneBlade, but it needs to be updated for a reason (TuneBlade needs a new version to be used a freeware).
Unfortunately, the process can't be loaded after installation.

First, in the installation line I get

Code: Select all

warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/lib/systemd/system/

I edit the conf as my first SPS, and enabled the process but get the status:

Code: Select all

whats wrong?

Hi dror,

value 127 is returned by /bin/sh when the given command is not found within your PATH system variable and it is not a built-in shell command. In other words, the system doesn't understand your command, because it doesn't know where to find the binary you're trying to call or the file is not executable.

Hi dror,
You should first check that shairport-sync is correctly installed with the command:

Code: Select all

shairport-sync -V

it should return something like this:

Code: Select all

3.1.4-OpenSSL-Avahi-ALSA-pa-soxr-sysconfdir:/etc

Then try to start it with the command:

Code: Select all

shairport-sync

and it should return something like this:

Code: Select all

Successful Startup

Exit with a <crtl>C.
If this is OK then you need to check that shairport-sync is called with a full path specification from the shairport-sync.service file.
If you need more help after this point post the first 30 lines of your debug, the contents of the shairport-sync.service file plus any unexpected messages from the commands above.

Hi

this the output for the first command

Code: Select all

root@runeaudio(rw):~# shairport-sync -V
shairport-sync: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


the shairport-sync version currently installed is 3.1.6-1 (using pacman -S shairport-sync)

Hi dror,
You really need to post your debug for more help. I don't know which version of Linux, the Rune build or the Pi platform you are using. Guessing at a solution (this will only work on a Pi 2B or 3B, shairport-sync will not work on any other Pi types), because libcrypto.so.1.1 is part of openssl and because a couple of other packages need to be updated together with openssl I would try:

Code: Select all

pacman -Sy openssl pacman wpa_supplicant

Test it with:

Code: Select all

pacman -Q openssl pacman wpa_supplicant shairport-sync
shairport-sync -V
