AirPlay output device does not show up in sound settings

Open leplatrem opened this issue 11 years ago • 22 comments

Thanks for this amazing contribution ! I've been waiting for this for a long time :)

My problem is that no Airplay device appear in the sound applet, whereas avahi discovers them well. (I tried restarting avahi too).

I am running Ubuntu 13.10, compiled with the flags you mentionned in the docs, checked the option in paprefs, I am running your pulseaudio version (sound stops when it's killed), and no firewall running.

$ avahi-browse -t --all  | grep Air
+   eth0 IPv6 0024D4764109@Freebox Player                   AirTunes Remote Audio local
+   eth0 IPv4 0024D4A56CA5@Freebox Server                   AirTunes Remote Audio local
+   eth0 IPv4 0024D4764109@Freebox Player                   AirTunes Remote Audio local

I see nothing relevant in pulseaudio log either.. (https://friendpaste.com/4HO4AuJ8052GzgtUko7LpX)

If you have any hints on where to start digging, I would be very grateful ! Thanks !

Can I see the result of

$ aptitude search ~ipulse

?

I'm particularly curious about if pulseaudio-module-zeroconf is installed.

Something weird : the Airplay remotes do not show up when running the locally compiled version. However, they now appear using the packaged version (with pulseaudio -D or after reboot). Unfortunately they do not seem to work and crash...

HI, any news on this issue. I am facing the same problem on Ubuntu 14.10 (I am really looking for a way to stream my music on my Freebox revolution)

ManuelSelva avatar Jun 15 '14 13:06 ManuelSelva

Hi, thanks to Colin Leroy, I pushed the latest raop2 branch which is rebased on some latest revision of PA master (=close to 5.0). There's a bunch of refactoring which might affect many aspects of the raop2 module. So could you try to see if this issue still exists with the latest version (branch: cl/raop2-v2 commit:1a410ad7)?

hfujita avatar Oct 12 '14 00:10 hfujita

Hi,

I justed pulled the last version of the project: on branch hf/raop2-v2 commit 832019c6f14849fe76175fc7e5adc553cb90ef3c I recompiled the pulseaudio binary.

The problem is still there: no Airplay device appear in the sound applet, whereas avahi still discovers them well. Any idea on this issue ?

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 14 '14 18:10 ManuelSelva

@ManuelSelva If you don't mind could you upload the full log from PulseAudio? You can use https://gist.github.com/ or any other similar service such as pastebin.

hfujita avatar Oct 14 '14 22:10 hfujita

@hfujita Off course I'll do that. I am at office now (it's 8.30 am in France), I'll do it at home this evening.

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 15 '14 06:10 ManuelSelva

Here https://gist.github.com/ManuelSelva/b216a02c24183632aa89#file-pulse-log is a log file obtained using (after having killed the pulseaudio process packaged into my ubuntu distribution)

./src/pulseaudio -n -F src/default.pa -p $(pwd)/src/ --log-time=1 -vvvv 2>&1 | tee pulse.log wait few seconds opens the sound dialog and see that only built in audio is available as output killed pulseaudio with ctrl+c

Please let me know if you need any additionale information or want me to do other tests

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 15 '14 08:10 ManuelSelva

Thanks @ManuelSelva! Here's mine: https://gist.github.com/hfujita/b989814e4109ae5087c8 Looks like you two have the same issue. The issue I think is, your PA does not load module-gconf.so. More specifically, your PA is not looking under src/.libs/ for some reason.

What was your command line option for ./configure? (You can find it in config.log in the top directory.) Mine is

./configure --prefix=/home/hfujita --enable-x11 --disable-hal-compat

hfujita avatar Oct 15 '14 12:10 hfujita

@hfujita Actually, my build wasn't looking under src/.libs either - I had to run it with ./src/pulseaudio -n -F src/default.pa -p $(pwd)/src/.libs Then it started to work. By the way, thanks a lot for the recent update! I feel like I could start using this patched pulseaudio instead of the standard one in Ubuntu :)

piit79 avatar Oct 15 '14 12:10 piit79

Thanks all for your help. I am progressing but still have an issue. Here are the line dealing with gconf module in my log file when running pulsaudio with -p $(pwd)/src/.libs:

4( 0.015| 0.000) D: [lt-pulseaudio] module.c: Checking for existence of '/home/manu/These/GitHub/pulseaudio-raop2/src/.libs/module-gconf.so': success
95( 0.015| 0.000) E: [lt-pulseaudio] ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to open module /home/manu/These/GitHub/pulseaudio-raop2/src/.libs/.libs/module-gconf.so: /home/manu/These/GitHub/pulseaudio-r
aop2/src/.libs/.libs/module-gconf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It succeded in finding the module in the .libs directory but when trying to use it the runtime use a path with ./libs/.libs (twice) and hence doesn't find the so file.

When running with -p $(pwd)/src/ the output is:

6( 0.010| 0.000) D: [lt-pulseaudio] module.c: Checking for existence of '/home/manu/These/GitHub/pulseaudio-raop2/src/module-gconf.so': failure

It doesn't look in .libs directory. What am I doing wrong ? I am feeling that I am amlost there to stream music on my Freebox ;-)

My configure log is:

./configure --prefix=/home/manu --enable-x11 --disable-hal-compat

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 15 '14 19:10 ManuelSelva

What do you get by doing

grep abs_builddir src/Makefile

at the pulseaudio top source directory?

Also, what do you get from

ls -l /proc/`pgrep pulseaudio`/exe

while you are running pulseaudio?

hfujita avatar Oct 15 '14 22:10 hfujita

the grep command returns:

abs_builddir = /home/manu/These/GitHub/pulseaudio-raop2/src -DPA_BUILDDIR="$(abs_builddir)" @echo "Coverage data now available at: $(abs_builddir)/coverage/index.html"

and ls while pulse audio is running:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 manu manu 0 Oct 16 10:11 /proc/26670/exe -> /home/manu/Documents/Manu/These/GitHub/pulseaudio-raop2/src/.libs/lt-pulseaudio

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 16 '14 08:10 ManuelSelva

@ManuelSelva Okay it seems like you have a link from /home/manu/Documents/Manu/These/to /home/manu/These/. What if you try on different directory, which is not a link to some other directory?

(some background: PulseAudio appears to change mode when running from build directory. Looks like only when it is launched in the build directory it tries to look at .libs as well. This directory detection is based on path name. But if there is a link and thus alias for the directory name, this build directory detection fails.)

hfujita avatar Oct 16 '14 13:10 hfujita

@hfujita

Yeahhhh, it's working ! Many thanks and sorry for the late reply, and let me know if one day you come in Grenoble France, I'll introduce my favorites french songs over the air with good french wines ;-)

Two last questions:

1- your log says you have pulseaudio 5, I guess this is because you got it from a version not yet commited and pushed here on git hub ?

2- What is the cleanest way to replace my Ubuntu's packaged pulseaudio by the one I built from your patched version ?

Thanks again,


Manu

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 21 '14 19:10 ManuelSelva

@ManuelSelva Glad to hear it worked. Yeah I'd love to visit France and other European countries as most of the users and developers of this feature seem to live in Europe.

Answers to the questions:

  1. Perhaps you need to pull the latest tag to get the correct version printout. Try git fetch --tags and then ./autogen.sh maybe.
  2. While I have not actually tried yet, but I would start from the pulseaudio 5.0 PPA (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/pulse-testing) and include the raop2 patch in the package.

hfujita avatar Oct 21 '14 23:10 hfujita

@hfujita For the tag question, running git fetch --tags and then git tag -l shows:

.... v3.99.1 v3.99.2 v4.0

Have I a pulsaudio pacthed based on the 5.0 version and my version problem is only about the version reporting or have I a 4.0 version patched ?

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 22 '14 06:10 ManuelSelva

@ManuelSelva Are you actually using my latest branch? What are the output of these commands:

git remote -v
git branch -a
git show HEAD --stat

hfujita avatar Oct 22 '14 15:10 hfujita

@hfujita

git remote -v origin [email protected]:hfujita/pulseaudio-raop2.git (fetch) origin [email protected]:hfujita/pulseaudio-raop2.git (push)

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 22 '14 16:10 ManuelSelva

Sorry, looks like I forgot to push tags to my repository. Could you try it again?

hfujita avatar Oct 22 '14 18:10 hfujita

It's ok now. So I already had the 5.0 version but the wrong version was reported ?

ManuelSelva avatar Oct 22 '14 18:10 ManuelSelva

Yes. Version string is generated from git tag, which is not pushed/pulled to/from server by default.
