Has anyone else been having issues with shairport-sync disappearing from
the local network since the package was upgraded to 3.3.6? It will start
and accept connections on a fresh boot, but if it’s left to idle
it’ll drop off the network. Squeezelite keeps going no matter
what, but shairport has been almost unusable recently.

I’m crossposting this from issue 995 on the shairport-sync repo.


I’m experiencing pretty much this same behavior with
shairport-sync on a Pi 3A+ with piCorePlayer 6.0.0; the distro
maintainer upgraded the package to 3.3.6 around the end of March. pCP
doesn’t have avahi (and trying to install it just threw me into
dependency hell) so I can’t see if the broadcast is still going on
the Pi’s side of things.

Network-wise I’m using openwrt stable 19.07. The Pi receives a
static DHCP lease from the router. The Pi and my iDevices are on wifi.
I’ve tried disabling and re-enabling IGMP snooping as it’s
reputed to affect multicast, no change either way. I’ve even tried
hardcoding an avahi.hosts file entry pointing at the Pi. The only thing
that really seems to work is rebooting the Pi and connecting to
Shairport as soon as it appears. If the process is left idle after
starting or if playback stops for more than a few minutes or the
connection is otherwise interrupted it’ll disappear from the local
domain and doesn’t rebroadcast. The port does appear to still be
claimed; if I SSH in and run shairport-sync -v it’ll complain that
there’s already something listening on the port and exit.

I’m going to cross post this to the pCP discussion thread and see
if anyone there has any ideas.
