Shairport with iOS 6

Hi,
I was running Shairport perfectly on RPi with iOS devices running iOS 5. I've upgraded my iPad to iOS 6 and it don't work anymore. iOS 6 bricks Shairport. When i restart Shairport I can use it from iTunes on my PC and from my iPod using iOS 5. I'm running Shairport on Raspbian!

Did you see the same using iOS 6? Any suggestions?

I wish I understood how to apply the suggested cures

Same here, I did try this this morning, without success. I think that because I don't understand what to do exactly. Could someone who's able to understand tell us exactly what to do?

Thanks a lot,
Thomas

I tried and failed as well trying to to fix this.

Got stuck on the cpan install Net::SDP part of the fix.

My guess with all the iOS devices moving to ios6 in the next few days this will become an issue for lots of people.

Hi
I installed the iOS6 version when I first got it, I wasn't able to install net::SDP either.

I'm sure I managed to solve the issue by upgrading cpan. I think I got to this by googling the error I got... But I can recall what that was, so try that?

I'll go through my history to see if I can find it.

I had this problem, I think I resolved it by updating cpan:

# install CPAN
# reload cpan

I did it a while ago, so if that doesn't work, say so and I'll dig back through my web browsing history!!

Sorry, but we need some clearer instructions! I can't get it working, did someone else succeed?

Here's how I updated to the hendrikw82 version of shairport, which seems to work with iOS6. It assumes you followed the process at http://trouch.com/2012/08/03/airpi-airp ... -raspberry (and check out the comments about iOS6 on that page - maybe soon the regular version of shairport will by updated too.)

sudo su
cd /etc/init.d
./shairport stop
cd
mv shairport shairport_old
aptitude install libmodule-build-perl
git clone https://github.com/njh/perl-net-sdp.git perl-net-sdp
cd perl-net-sdp
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
cd
git clone https://github.com/hendrikw82/shairport.git shairport
# and the rest is repeating the install instructions from the trouch.com post
cd shairport
./shairport.pl -a AirPi
# check it works then Ctrl-C
make install
cp shairport.init.sample /etc/init.d/shairport
cd /etc/init.d
chmod a+x shairport
update-rc.d shairport defaults
nano shairport
# edit DAEMON_ARGS line: eg DAEMON_ARGS=”-w $PIDFILE -a AirPi”
./shairport start

Thanks, this worked for me and fixed the issue I was having with shairport crashing when trying to play music from ios6 on the iphone5.

Hi everyone, I've created the deb version of the perl Net::sdp library and also I compiled shairport into a deb package.

The shairport package includes a daemon that start it at boot.

Code: Select all

wget http://www.inf.udec.cl/~diegocaro/rpi/libnet-sdp-perl_0.07-1_all.deb
wget http://www.inf.udec.cl/~diegocaro/rpi/shairport_0.05-1_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libnet-sdp-perl_0.07-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i shairport_0.05-1_armhf.deb


At this point, dpkg may says that need more dependencies, to solve you should run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install

Enjoy it!

Much appreciated diegocaro!

Great work, works like a charm! Thanks a lot for it! If you don't mind, I would like to use your .deb files in my SqueesePlug project! And one other question: Is it possible to build these .deb files also for Debian Soft Float? That would be great, because the other device I'm supporting with SqueezePlug are not Debian Hf!

Thanks a lot Thomas

First, you are free to use the .deb files wherever you want, that's the idea!

I think that is possible to build deb files for soft float, but for now I will not provide the sources (I'm trying to learn more about the Debian packaging system to provide a high quality deb sources).
