Hi,

Is there a way to get snapclient working under libreELEC 9? I installed the addon, but it does not connect to the snapserver, even thogh i provided the IP of the server.

Any help would be appreciated.

You're hitting the same issue I was. Please see my previous comment for how I got it working.

According to dtugviogn what I did might not have been correct, but I don't understand why they're saying we should be setting the hostID of the machine running the snapclient.

We're configuring the libreelec snapclient. So I would think we'd need to tell it about the snapserver by configuring the snapserver IP / HostID. Unless snapcast is doing some sort of discovery.

In any case, this was my first experience with snapcast and what I did above got it working.

Hi awiouy,

I run the snapcast server on a different RPi with Rapsbian. If I want to use LibreELEC as a Snapcast Client I always have to ssh "snapclient -h 192.168.188.46"

Can you tell me how I can configure the client to use this Snapcast server permanent?

I just troubleshot this and the problem is that the host is specified using the wrong argument when snapclient is started.

After changing '--hostID' to '--host' in the startup script and rebooting, it now works for me with no manual intervention:

# pwd
/storage/.kodi/addons/service.snapclient/bin

# diff snapclient.start.ORIG snapclient.start
29c29,30
< [ -n "$sc_h" ] && sc_H="--hostID $sc_h"
---
> #[ -n "$sc_h" ] && sc_H="--hostID $sc_h"
> [ -n "$sc_h" ] && sc_H="--host $sc_h"

@awiouy, can you please update this script when you get a chance.

Thanks,
