Airplay sync / editing /etc/init.d/shairport

Help and Support Help

So, I had this issue with v1.3, but I have upgraded and my previous settings don’t work.

Audio via airplay is not in sync. To solve this, you have to add a buffer value in shairport

sudo nano /etc/init.d/shairport

enter -b VALUE in the command line

However, I can’t get mine to sync after ages trying. Restarting the device is annoying to say the least. Is there a way to work out what buffer value I need without trial and error?

Shairport is not started via init. But by a line in player_wrk.php

And precisely here (line 310):

$cmd = '/usr/local/bin/shairport -a "'.$hostname.'" -w -B "mpc stop" -o alsa -- -d plughw:'.$device.' > /dev/null 2>&1 &';

Please let me know about your results, it may be interesting to add this options to AirPlay via WebUi!

Ah, that’s interesting. Maybe I edited that line last time…

I will let you know later on. It would be extremely useful if this value could be edited via webui.

Changing values in the below makes no difference for me.

/var/www/command/player_wrk.php

Switched back to 1.3 for now.
