Hello,
I am having difficulty trying to set up Mopidy with Snapcast to have synchronous audio in multiple rooms. I have been following multiple guides on MagPi Magazine and after many hours of hair-pulling and searching, I just cannot figure it out. I am hoping someone can help.
Guides are here:
I set up Mopidy on my Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) that I also have Home Assistant running in a Docker container from the IotStack project on this same Pi.
My music is from a SMB share from an external USB hard drive attached to my DD-WRT router. I have this folder auto mount in fstab. It mounts to /home/pi/Music
I was able (with a lot of dicciculty) to scan the media folder and get my music added in Mopidy and I can see it in Iris when i go to Browse–>Local Media.
I set up snapserver and snapclient on the Pi 4 that is running Mopidy.
I set up Snapclient on a raspberry Pi Zero W
I can see all these clients under the snapcast settings in Iris.
When I add a list of songs to the now playing list and go to Now Playing and press play, nothing plays. It seems that it plays 4 seconds of silence and then restarts. Also, If I ahve consume selected, it consumes the entire playlist as soon as i press play and then starts playing the 4 seconds of silence repeatedly. I have no idea what I’m missing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
