homebridge-airtunes-radio's Issues

Turn off device at the end of single mp3 file

I would like to use your great plugin for HomePod Voice Notification.
This is working by using just a single mp3 created by myself and placed on a server.
Is there a way to switch the device off at the end of the mp3 automatically?
At the moment it is already working like I would expect and just playing the voice notification.
But I'm worried that there will be a problem if the switch is constantly "on" like it is at the moment.
Thanks again.

not working any more :(

very cool plugin! but will you update this plugin to support latest version of homebridge / node?

thank you!

AirTunes? don’t you mean AirPlay?

[Enhancement] m3u Streams support

@mcfisto First of all, thanks for your great work and sharing.
Any chance to see m3u Streams support in the future?
Very looking forward to your ongoing development.
Thanks again.

No playback controls with HomePod, Siri or control center

Thanks for sharing! Just installed 0.2.0 and it's working fine.

But right now, there is no way to start/stop playing the stream with the HomePod itself or via control center on iOS.
Tapping on top of the HomePod or saying "Hey Siri, stop!" has no effect. The stream keeps on playing unless i stop it in the home app.

Any chance to fix this?

Feature Request

Could you build in the option to stream audio from a USB device? I have a digital turn table and am trying to find a way to get it to AirPlay to my HomePod. Their was a project that looks like it should work, but I’ve had a lot of issues getting it to work and have not heard anything yet.

Just a simple USB audio stream to send to the HomePod with control in the Home app would be amazing.

Thanks for the consideration!

Deactivate switch when another one is activated

Hi!
Firsat of all, thanks for the great plugin! FInally I can play my wifes radio stations via Homepod and she is not asking why I don´t buys Alexas :-)
I have four radio stations, but the switch keeps turnd on if I switch directly to another rasio station.
Would it be possible that an activation of a switch would deactivate the others first?

My thanks,
Jo

Node.js 12 not supported

I have updated the Node version on mi Raspberry to Node.js 12. Since upgrading your plugin doesn‘t work and more.
I deleted and tried to reinstall but it also won‘t work.
Would it be possible to fix it?

HomePod Stereo Pair supported?

I don't know if its possible, or stream to 2 devices in sync?

mcfisto

Hey mcfisto,
fantastic plugin, luckily we have people like you delivering what Apple doesn't want... ;-)
Unfortunately I cannot make it work, I installed the plugin and tried my own config.
The lightbulb shows up, after a few seconds it switches off.
Here is the outcome of the home bridge log... Please note: I erased the IP

I also tried to run it with exactly your config after I received some feedback that it might be due to a stream that doesn't fit at all... Unfortunately the same outcome...

Would be great if you might be able to help.
Do I need to change something with the port?

THX

host locally

Would it work with locally hosted mp3 files?

Support to stream to Apple TV

Hi,

I have tried to stream to Apple TV but I am unable to get it to work.
Is it supported already? No errors are visible in the log, just the information that it has been turned on and the config and device json.

Thank you!

Works this plugin also with Sonos

Hello
I try to us the plugin with my Sonos One but at the moment no success. I try it like this

{
"accessory": "HomePodRadio",
"name": "Test-Wave",
"streamUrl": "http://icecast6.play.cz/cro2-128.mp3",
"host": "192.168.98.74",
"volume": 15,
"port": 5000
}

and the log say

[2019-1-30 18:26:02] [Test-Wave] Turning Test-Wave on
Config2: {"accessory":"HomePodRadio","name":"Test-Wave","streamUrl":"http://icecast6.play.cz/cro2-128.mp3","host":"192.168.98.74","volume":15,"port":5000}
Device: [Circular]

Sonos has also Airplay2 support and so i hope it's running on Sonos.

Greeting

config file

Where can I find the config file? And is it possible to stream to multiple HomePods?

Multiple accessories with same name

Hi, thanks for this great plugin!

I created two accessories and assigned them to two different rooms in Homekit. Both have the same name in Homekit ("Radio"). Unfortunately when i enable one of them then the other stops playing though the accessory in Homekit stays enabled.

If a label them differently (e.g. "Radio 1" and "Radio 2") then everything works fine.

No play issue

Hi there, this plug-in has some real potential. I got very excited the minute I saw it, but I have not been able to make it work just yet.

I installed it via sudo npm install -g —unsafe-perm Homebridge-AirTunes-radio (gave errors without unsafe-perm), then added the device in my config. I double checked the right ip for the HomePod and audio link, but when I activate the device in the Home app, no audio is being played. Also deleted the plug-in in full and reinstalled it.

I added the following to my config:

    {
        "accessory": "HomePodRadio",
        "name": "Radio Two",
        "streamUrl": "http://icecast.omroep.nl/radio2-bb-mp3",
        "host": "192.168.1.115",
        "volume": 15,
        "port": 5000
    },

How I can contact you by email?

@mcfisto: How I can contact you by email?

Can I have your email address?

You can remove this ticket after sending the reply ^^

Thanks in advance.

Speed of the stream

Hey McFisto,
Just closed my last issue, found the problem...
Again thx for this great plugin.
I have new question...
The stream I play sounded quite slow to me, the voices seemed a little bit weird.
I let the stream play for 3 hours and 45 minutes now and it played the news of 11:30.
So there is a delay of roughly 7%...
Any chance to fix this?

All the best
