Hi all,
After trying all sorts of combinations, I finally got my Raspberry Pis
up and running with both Squeezelite and Shairport_Sync working side by
aside. My goal was to allow all of my Pis (I have models A, B, and v2)
to run as Squeezebox players, as well as support direct streaming from
mobile devices via AirPlay.
Below is the step-by-step procedure I used to setup each Pi. As you can
see, I use the stock standard Raspbian image as the starting point and
compile Squeezelite and Shairport_Sync from the original sources.
To allow these two audio applications to work side by side,
Shairport_Sync is configured such that it shuts down Squeezelite when it
starts streaming AirPlay content from your mobile device, and then
starts up Squeezelite again when AirPlay streaming is stopped.
This has been working fine for quite some time.
Cheers,
Pete
Code:
--------------------
1) Burn the latest Raspbian image to the SD card using Win32 Disk Imager:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
2) General setup
login: pi
password: raspberry
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
- set the following:
options snd-usb-audio index=-1
sudo raspi-config
- expand file system
- set host name (i.e. 'Squeeze-Backyard')
(reboot)
sudo apt-get remove -y wolfram-engine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo alsamixer
- adjust volume level
sudo alsactl store
3) Install Squeezelite
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git wget patch checkinstall
libasound2-dev libmad0-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libfaad-dev
libmpg123-dev
cd ~
git clone https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/
OR
git clone https://github.com/ralph-irving/squeezelite
cd squeezelite
make clean
make
sudo cp -f ./squeezelite /usr/local/bin/squeezelite
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/squeezelite
sudo wget http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/squeezelite_settings.sh
sudo mv squeezelite_settings.sh /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/squeezelite_settings.sh
sudo wget http://www.gerrelt.nl/RaspberryPi/squeezelitehf.sh
sudo mv squeezelitehf.sh /etc/init.d/squeezelite
cd /etc/init.d
sudo chmod a+x squeezelite
sudo update-rc.d squeezelite defaults
sudo nano /etc/init.d/squeezelite
- edit settings
- change NAME=squeezelite-armv6hf to NAME=squeezelite
- change DAEMON=/usr/bin/${NAME} to DAEMON=/usr/local/bin/${NAME}
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/squeezelite_settings.sh
- edit settings
- set SL_NAME="Backyard"
- set SL_SOUNDCARD="hw:0"
- set SL_ALSA_PARAMS="300:::1"
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/squeezelite_stop
- add the following:
#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite stop
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/squeezelite_start
- add the following:
#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/squeezelite start
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/squeezelite_*
4) Install Shairport_Sync
cd ~
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool libdaemon-dev libasound2-dev libpopt-dev
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon libavahi-client-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync.git
cd shairport-sync
autoreconf -i -f
./configure --with-alsa --with-avahi --with-ssl=openssl
make
sudo make install
sudo nano /etc/init.d/shairport-sync
- edit settings
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- -d -a
"Backyard" -w -B "/usr/local/bin/squeezelite_stop" -E
"/usr/local/bin/squeezelite_start" || return 2
