I’m currently using musicbox 0.6 RC with airplay and local music. After using shairplay i cant play local music anymore (even if i first disable airplay speakers (musicbox) at my macbook) I got the following output in mopidy.log: ERROR GStreamer error: state change failed and some element fail…

I think the problem could be solved by an alsa mixer device which is shared by shairport-sync and mopidy. Unfortunately i’m a total linux sound noob :frowning: i’ll try to learn more on this topic and hopefully find a solution with an alsa-mixer. Why is a such a mixer configuration not standard in…

I’m not convinced it’s much to do with the mixer but some experiments might be worth doing. From the shairport-sync documentation: [quote] -t timeout | --timeout=timeout Exit play mode if the stream disappears for more than timeout seconds. When shairport-sync plays an audio stream, it starts a p…

It must be started then every time with “play”. For me, this a clear “no go”. It should continue with the music…

No, don’t think so. You need to stop so that the sound device is released. Would setting up a dmix alsa device help? You could try looking into that.

Hi, I wonder if you’ve got me right. Volumio does restart the last source which played before AirPlay after quitting AirPlay. This was very important for me. i wonder, why this little feature was not implemented into PI MusicBox, which I would have actually preferred to Volumio.

The point is that when changing from Mopidy to Airplay you must stop Mopidy i.e. you cannot pause. Once you have stopped you lose the play state. We would have to manually backup Mopidy’s state before stopping and then restore it afterwards. It’s doable but a bit hacky. I don’t recall many (if any) …
