  • Snapclient does not work on RPi4 with LE 12.0.0

    Hi,

    I'm digging back this thread as I'm encountering the same problem : Snapserver/Snapclient does not work on RPi4 with LE 10.0.1 via HDMI

    Setup: Libreelec 12.0.0 running on a RPI 4 and ONKYO AVR

    No problem to get the audio output from libreelec through the HDMI audio output : "ALSA-vc4-hdmi0 (vc4hdmi0), ONKYO on HDMI".

    Now, I'd like to run a snapclient on this machine. I install the Snapclient addon, set it up correctly (other clients are working just fine with this server), and it works as expected. So does the audio from kodi.

    :!:Now the problem: as soon as I restart my setup, the audio outputs is lost, I can only select either:

    • PULSE: Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSEAUDIO)
    • PULSE: Null Output, Null Output (PULSEAUDIO)

    And neither are working.

    Now disabling the Snapcast addon et restarting makes libreelec working again, the audio output are correctly shown.

    Snapcast is the main suspect here. Any idea on what might be the root cause of this ?:/

    Thanks,

  • AirPlay / Spotify by Snapcast

    Hi,

    I've been trying to set a Libreelec media server as:

    - host-1 ("salon"): rpi4 running libreelec with the snapserver and librespot addons, setup to stream spotify, and the snapclient addon setup to listen to the snapserver.

    - host-2 ("sam"): rpi4 running raspbian with a snapclient setup to listen to the snapserver

    I managed to get the librespot@host-1 visible in spotify and to stream to libreelec flawlessly. I even get the visualisation of the album cover as i plays in libreelec. Neat.

    However, the host-2 snapclient is not receiving any data from the server.

    By investigating, I see in snapweb (the icons are broken ?) both snapclients as expected, but the stream is 'default: idle', and not responding. Changing the volume/muting is not doing anything. So it seems neither clients are not receiving any data

    What am I doing wrong ? How can host-1 play the stream is no data is transfered through the snapserver ?

    Can somebody help me set this up correctly ?

    Regards,

    EDIT: found out the issue.``

    /storage/.kodi/addons/service.snapserver/bin/snapserver.start` was using --stream instead of --stream.source

    Am I the only one experiencing this issue ? Should I create a pull request with that fix ?
