      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!

        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…

          so all i have to do is modify that file in the way it is on the Github page and then copy the code for the module into the module array and that’s it?

            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.

              @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?

                    @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?

                      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.
