AirPlay_ShairportSync

AirPlay using Shairport Sync

Taken from the Phoniebox@GitHub issues forum

I updated my installation of Phoniebox with AIRPLAY compability! Just want to share my experience here. I followed this step by step installation guide, on top of the running phoniebox.

Everything is just working fine and I can see no problems... I can now swipe cards to use phoniebox, and I can also send music from my iPhone to the Rpi.

The two options will not stop each other, which means: If Phoniebox is running and you send Airplay music to the Rpi it will play both at the same time, and vice versa.

You can add a command to stop mpd to /etc/shairport-sync.conf. See sessioncontrol in config file

e.g.

run_this_before_play_begins = "/usr/bin/mpc stop"
run_this_after_play_ends = "/usr/bin/mpc play"

If you like Phoniebox, consider: buy me a coffee or PayPal

Phoniebox is a contactless jukebox for the Raspberry Pi, playing audio files, playlists, podcasts, web streams and spotify triggered by RFID cards. All plug and play via USB, no soldering iron needed. Update: if you must, it now also features a howto for adding GPIO buttons controls.
