I'm super new to this, and I've been working on this and researching for a solid 6-8 hours. I've seen this everywhere in message boards unsolved so i'm posting the solution here, not sure if its the correct place. The problem seems to be with the "shairport-sync-metadata" file in the tmp folder. Launching the Magic Mirror program and reading the command line returns more errors. The code launches in python 2, and your machine might be trying to read it in a different version of python. install python 2, using sudo apt install python2 in the bash. Locate python 2 on your machine using which python2. Open shairport-metadata.sh and change /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2. This should fix everything.

Thanks for this, but this seems to be the wrong place for a Magic-Mirror-specific issue. Should this not be on a Magic Mirror page somewhere?

Another idea might be to rename it and include Magic Mirror in the title?
