ShairPort Plugin for Squeezebox Server

shairport2_plugin

ShairPort2 Plugin for Squeezebox Server adds airTunes support for each Squeezebox server client.

To install the plugin first - then install the dependancies:

Linux:

> apt-get install libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl libwww-perl avahi-utils libio-socket-ssl-perl
> wget http://www.inf.udec.cl/~diegocaro/rpi/libnet-sdp-perl_0.07-1_all.deb
> dpkg -i libnet-sdp-perl_0.07-1_all.deb

OSX:

> sudo /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e'install Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA'
> sudo /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e'install IO::Socket::INET6'
> sudo /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e'install Net::SDP'

Now open the LMS GUI; click on Settings, then select the Plugins tab, at the bottom of the page add the repo:

http://raw.github.com/luzzatolab/shairport2_plugin/master/public.xml

Next install the plugin and enable as usual.

This version does not need a helper app in the global fs. It automatically detects the os and uses the local helper.

Ensure avahi-daemon is configured correctly. edit the file /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf:

[server]
use-ipv4=yes
use-ipv6=yes

[wide-area]
enable-wide-area=yes

[publish]
publish-aaaa-on-ipv4=no
publish-a-on-ipv6=no

[reflector]

[rlimits]
rlimit-core=0
rlimit-data=4194304
rlimit-fsize=0
rlimit-nofile=300
rlimit-stack=4194304
rlimit-nproc=3

Then restart avahi-daemon and LMS to apply all settings.

== Additional Notes ==

This version has been midified from the Disaster123 version to allow synching of video and audio when using airplay. As such the START_FILL variable in hairtunes.c was changed to 205 (instead of 64). For quick testing, the executable shairtunes_helper from the src folder can be copied to cp shairport_helper /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/ShairTunes2/helperBinaries/shairport_helper-x64-linux after compiles (executable destination name will be different based on sys type)
