Shairport sync issue with Bluetooth transmitter

Roon Software Discussion Linux
1

Hello
I have banana pi box with Bluetooth transmitter so basicaly roon endpoint which I can use to stream to Bluetooth devices. Is there by any chance a way to see that endpoint in roon as airplay device? I was thinking to install shairport-sync using output device Bluetooth transmitter… But for some reason I can’t run it… Its exiting… Is such a scenario possible? I have other airplay devices so I wanted to group all of them with Bluetooth transmitter into the one zone… As roon supports only one protocol per zone.

Thanks

Yes, you can add ShairportSync as endpoint once you get it working.

But it is exiting with return code 1, no log, no details.

config:

general =
{
volume_range_db = 60;
};

alsa =
{
output_device = “hw:sunxicodec”;
mixer_control_name = “PCM”;
};

okay,
issue fixed. It works but the sound is chopping … so no idea.
