Has anyone used MMM-ShairportMetadata to get the Airplay metadata from a socket address? I’d like to get the currently playing information for my multiroom audio but don’t want to have to airplay to the MagicMirror to see whats playing everywhere else. I know Shairport-sync will output the metadata to a socket address, but I’m not sure if I can get this module to read it

Hi @darrene ,

How did you ever make out with your module? I’ve started down the same path, I’m also using shairport-sync but in conjunction with forked-daapd (an airplay server for Raspbian).

As forked-daapd can also use mpd commands I’ve been trying to use komponist, which I’ve managed to make return the playing song, album, etc. print out to the console but as I’ve never really done any javascript before am trying to piece together building a module for MM.

If you’ve made any progress on your module, I’d love to see it as it may help me finish mine.
