Anyone know how to use MMM-ShairportMetadata?
-
@sean i went into the .conf file and i changed the values for the metadata section, but when i try to save it says “permission denied”. What do i have to do to let it let me save the file?

@jmartin1009
Open it with ‘sudo’ -
@sean got it, thank you so much! Very new to this so not always sure what to do even for the “easy” stuff haha :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
-
@sean Well, unfortunately i edited to metadata stuff and i put the code in the modules array in config.js, but the module isn’t appearing on the screen when i have music playing. Is there something i am missing?

@jmartin1009
is a song been playing on default iphone “Music” app with AirPlay? You can set output stream to your shairport device name on the music app of iphone Then song will be played on MM via shairport.
If just cover or title is not shown but song is played, check pipe and address. -
@sean the pipe names/adresses match up, but what about the address? how does that come into play? I have it set to the default value that it came with and also says on Github, but if it needs to be changed what do i change it to? Thanks.
-
@sean also, it is playing music due to the shairport-sync i set up, but nothing at all is displayed on screen when music is played.

Hmmm… .with my previous experience, If you set pipe properly (both of module and Shairport) there might not be so much thing to do. Weird… -
@sean do I have to have anything to receive the metadata or anything? I know that’s a thing but I don’t know if it applys to this module, all I have is shairport-sync set up and then I set up mmm-shairportmetadata and idk if I need anything else. I can’t seem to find much on the module itself so idk what’s going wrong :/
-
Can anyone help? I did
cat /tmp/shairport-sync-metadataAnd it still isn’t working, could use help from anyone! Thanks!
