Yes I have sort of gone back to the old method only I am not actually capturing the sound card output and the total lag is only 2 secs. I should be able to drop it even more with the buffer settings in shairport-sync. The old wavein/shairport rig had about a 10 sec lag.
Shairport-sync doesn't die when the pipe isn't being read so that is good. Right now the only problem I have is that when I change tracks, seek or pause the AirPlay stream the flow of data to the pipe ends and LMS seems to get lost and I have to pause/play LMS to make it pick back up. I have put in a request with the developer of shairport-sync to pad with PCM silence when ever there isn't an active AirPlay connection or when pausing and seeking. So LMS should keep on playing. I like the newer shairport2 plugin but not supporting sync groups is a deal breaker for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Noel Hibbard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62950 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104208 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
