@monkeyjb123 I don’t know what you did before.

I never use rmc to do updates

what does the pm2 log show?

@monkeyjb123 I used black cardbord. nothing special. Good to hide the monitor frame also. Very ceap, very easy.

Re: Shairport-sync help needed

Hello,

So I’ve managed to get shairport-sync running and am able to airplay music, however the artwork/now playing is not working via the metadata module. I know some people have ran into this issue in the past, but can’t seem to find if they fixed it or not since the thread went dead. Would greatly appreciate any help.

@sdetweil thanks for your help initially, much appreciated.

I’m using this as the guide https://github.com/surekap/MMM-ShairportMetadata

Here’s how I have it written on the shairport-sync config

metadata = { enabled = "yes"; // set this to yes to get Shairport Sync to solicit metadata from the source and to pa$ include_cover_art = "yes"; // set to "yes" to get Shairport Sync to solicit cover art from the source a$ cover_art_cache_directory = "/tmp/shairport-sync/.cache/coverart"; // artwork will be stored in this d$ pipe_name = "/tmp/shairport-sync-metadata"; pipe_timeout = 5000; // wait for this number of milliseconds for a blocked pipe to unblock before givin$ // socket_address = "226.0.0.1"; // if set to a host name or IP address, UDP packets containing metadata w$ // socket_port = 5555; // if socket_address is set, the port to send UDP packets to // socket_msglength = 65000; // the maximum packet size for any UDP metadata. This will be clipped to be b$ };

and this is how it is on my MM config.js

{ module: 'MMM-ShairportMetadata', position: 'bottom_left', header: 'Now playing', config: { metadataPipe: "/tmp/shairport-sync-metadata", // location of pipe with shairport-sync metadata alignment: "left", // Possible values [left|right|center]. Default: center }, },

Hello Everyone,

First time builder here, just wanted to get some input on this monitor. I’ve read through some previous forums and found one with a vertical HDMI input as well as integrated speakers. I’m trying to go as slim as possible so will try to take this off the stand when assembling into the framework. The glass itself will be 70 in long and 22 in wide. I’ll be putting the monitor in a vertical position near the top of the glass. Then I’ll maybe put a poster board painted black as the backing (with a portion cutout where the monitor would be) Thanks in advance!

@monkeyjb123 no idea. are you using MagicMirror OS which runs MM under docker?
