<![CDATA[Anyone know how to use MMM-ShairportMetadata?]]>I have Shairport-Sync working, but i can’t find a good guide on how to install the ShairportMetadata module. The GitHub page doesn’t seem to give much of a guide, unless literally all you have to do is copy the code into the array and it works. All help is appreciated, thanks!

I need your help because I don’t really understand how to add the code “metadata”

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 :/

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…

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.

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.

Is there something i am missing?

What do i have to do to let it let me save the file?

Yes, that is all. Basically this module’s purpose is showing album art and song title of current playing via Shairport. That’s all, so there be not so many things to do.

Open Shairport Sync configuration file at /etc/shairport-sync.conf (note that in FreeBSD it will be at /usr/local/etc/shairport-sync.conf).
Then modify content by sample of MMM-ShairprtMetadata instruction. There aren’t so many things to do…
