A module to integrate AirTunes metadata coming via shairport-sync
into the MagicMirror. Does not work with video or mirroring.
Add MMM-ShairportMetadata
module to the modules
array in the config/config.js
file:
modules: [
{
module: 'MMM-ShairportMetadata',
position: 'bottom_left',
config: {
metadataPipe: "/tmp/shairport-sync-metadata", // location of pipe with shairport-sync metadata
alignment: "center", // Possible values [left|right|center]. Default: center
}
},
]
Example shairport-sync
configuration:
metadata =
{
enabled = "yes"; // set to yes to get Shairport Sync to solicit metadata from the source and to pass it on via a pipe
include_cover_art = "yes"; // set to "yes" to get Shairport Sync to solicit cover art from the source and pass it via the pipe. You must also set "enabled" to "yes".
pipe_name = "/tmp/shairport-sync-metadata";
pipe_timeout = 5000; // wait for this number of milliseconds for a blocked pipe to unblock before giving up
// socket_address = "226.0.0.1"; // if set to a host name or IP address, UDP packets containing metadata will be sent to this address. May be a multicast address. "socket-port" must be non-zero and "enabled" must be set to yes"
// socket_port = 5555; // if socket_address is set, the port to send UDP packets to
// socket_msglength = 65000; // the maximum packet size for any UDP metadata. This will be clipped to be between 500 or 65000. The default is 500.
