Topic: shairport on openwrt

The content of this topic has been archived between 2 Sep 2014 and 25 Apr 2018. Unfortunately there are posts – most likely complete pages – missing.

just did some reading on wired about shairport.

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/tag/shairport/

apparently the public key encryption scheme for AirTunes streaming has been cracked. This makes it possible to send audio from itunes directly to an linux desktop.

I got it working on ubuntu, but I  I never got the hang of cross compiling for openwrt or building a custom image/package.

Any possibility to get this running on an openwrt router? It would make my asus wl500gp a perfect companion for my home stereo.


Kind Regards

Jasper

Ok, I spent some time on it and compiled it (thought it is the ugliest solution I've ever seen)...

Hope someone else can make another step!

You'll need the perl dependencies as well, but good work smile Any small and neat USB soundcards to recommend?

You will also need this:
http://pastebin.com/XviLGjBC (perl-crypt-openssl-rsa Makefile)
http://pastebin.com/HQhHXeKC (perl-crypt-openssl-rsa patch)

and it should work...

In my case everything runs smoothly, itunes recognizes speakers and plays to them but no sound comes through...

Looking at the perl script, it should not be difficult to rewrite it in pure C ... what would knock out all the perl stuff/dependencies...

Maybe someone is up for a challenge?

Or actually... doing it in BASH/SH?

(Last edited by gregd72002 on 14 Apr 2011, 12:15)

nice to see some interest on this subject smile like I said, I'm not up to the job to get this thing going, but I support you all!!!

the development of shairport moved to github.com

https://github.com/albertz/shairport

version 0.05 is released, with better error handling.

Jasper

It looks like libao is outdated... (v. 0.8..) and hairtunes does not work with it at all...
Below libao Makefile (v. 1.1.0). One step closer but still not able to hear anything...

P.S. It looks like there are some flows in hairtunes... First of all it looks like my device (asus rt n16) is too slow to decode the stream in real time... second of all it looks like hairtunes has a 'deadlock' issue when it comes to buffering (functions/threads: buffer_put_packet and buffer_get_frame) ... just investigating the issue.

Did you have to manually set the port number somewhere to 6000?

Please note that the above includes my personal path... needs updated!

Also, it looks with -O3 I'm on around 36-40% CPU utilization. Depending on the actual platform might be useful to edit file alac.c and rewriting function 'count_leading_zeros()'. Once example my be:

static int count_leading_zeros(int input)
{
    int output;
//asm("clz %0, %1" : "=r" (output) : "r" (input));
    __asm
    {
        mov r9, input
        clz r8, r9
        mov output, r8
    }
    return output;
}

Hope this help!
I would really like to see someone to rewrite the whole perl script in a compilable language! This would save a lot of space!

Thanks,

That's just a initialization script. This could be rewritten in a pure shell or C... Is someone up for the challenge?

Nice work gregd.  I finally have this working now too using the latest source from github with only one small patch to the Makefile.  In my case I get better performance with -O2 or -Os and no patches to the C source files.  -O3 does work well with the "inline" patch to count leading zeros in alac.c, but -O2 and -Os worked best without this patch.  It seems the other improvements are already implemented on github.  I get around 30% cpu usage on an Atheros AR9132 with a 400Mhz cpu.

I placed the output of:

svn diff feeds/packages/{sound/shairport,libs/libao,lang/perl*}

at http://pastebin.com/DknUpn7f.  I believe this captures everything I did to get this working with the exception of downloading a tarball from github then putting an unpacked, renamed, and then repacked tarball on my local webserver.  This is why the source url is now commented in the Makefile. However it should be sufficient just to put a shairport-0.05.tar.gz in the "dl" directory prior to running make.

The revision I used was 2c3206c.

I updated my Makefile to download the source directly from github.  Here is the relevant excerpt:

PKG_NAME:=shairport
PKG_VERSION:=0.05
PKG_RELEASE:=$(PKG_SOURCE_VERSION)

PKG_SOURCE_PROTO:=git
PKG_SOURCE_URL:=https://github.com/albertz/shairport.git

PKG_SOURCE:=$(PKG_NAME)-$(PKG_VERSION)-$(PKG_SOURCE_VERSION).tar.gz

I also updated the 100-makefile.patch to work with this github version:

--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile

 all: hairtunes

The new svn diff is here: http://pastebin.com/Lh8ae4hx.

The github shairport has added some more perl dependencies.  Here is my current list of all shairport dependencies:

+libopenssl +libao +avahi-daemon +avahi-utils +perl \
+perl-crypt-openssl-rsa +perl-getopt-long \
+perl-http-message +perl-uri \
+perlbase-autoloader +perlbase-config +perlbase-cwd \

+perlbase-ipc +perlbase-mime +perlbase-posix \
+perlbase-selectsaver +perlbase-socket +perlbase-symbol \
+perlbase-tie +perlbase-xsloader

where perl-crypt-openssl-rsa, perl-getopt-long, and perl-http-message are new packages and libao is updated to 1.1.0.

Let me know if any of these perl dependencies are extraneous.

I recently bought the Syba SD-CM-UAUD just to try shairport.  It is a nice size and works fine.  Although I may eventually upgrade to a Turtle Beach Micro II which has an optical digital out.

I also noticed that eBay has some generic ones for <$2 and dealextreme has some for <$3.

What an interesting project for a Seagate DockStar with a Marvell CPU clocked @1.2GHz. When I get some times, I will sure try this. Thanks everyone.

Can someone share the builded package for openwrt? I have some troubles with this Makefile on mac os.

I dont think so anyone will... given the amount of information you provided. Anyway, I thought the toolchain is not supposed to work on mac os?
Please install toolchain and then the makefile and you should be fine.

I would love to get this working too, but can somebody give me some pointers on where to start with the toolchain/makefile? There is a lot of information on openwrt, but I find the documentation very fragmented, scattered, obsolete or old.

Can somebody help me? I just need some pointers where to start and what steps to take. Is there a thread/tutorial that you would recommend to read?

tnx

There are tons of invaluable information here that you can peruse.

Here is a brief summary of the steps:

1) Have a linux "host" system (dedicated or VM)
2) Install all prerequisites for OpenWrt build environment (refer to wiki) 
3) Create a base directory and do an svn checkout of openwrt
  a) mkdir ~/openwrt && cd ~/openwrt
  b) svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/
  c) cd trunk
4) Update package feeds, download, patch, and install shaiport package
  a) ./scripts/feeds update -a
  b) wget -O shairport.patch http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Lh8ae4hx
  c) echo "" >> shairport.patch
  d) patch -p0 < shairport.patch
  e) ./scripts/feeds update -a
  f) ./scripts/feeds install shairport
5) Generate the initial configuration and confirm build environment prerequisites
  a) make defconfig
  b) Repeat a) and install any missing host packages until there are no errors on "make defconfig"
6) Select your target and add shairport to your build configuration
  a) make menuconfig
  b) Select appropriate "Target system", e.g. Atheros AR71xx/AR......
  c) Select appropriate "Target Profile", e.g. Buffalo WZR-HP-G30XNH
  d) Select Sound --> shairport (highlight shairport and press "m" to build shairport as a package)
  e) Exit and save configuration
7) Build image and packages
  a) make
  b) If you encounter an error rerun with "make V=99" for verbose output
  c) After a successful build images and packages will be under ~/openwrt/trunk/bin

This is mostly from memory so be sure to read the wiki for full details and better understanding of what is going on.  Essential reading:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build
https://dev.openwrt.org/wiki/GetSource

part 4 was the part I couldn't find out myself. TNX!!!

I'll post my results as soon as possible...

regards Jasper

Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions. Now it is running nicely on my nslu2 smile

The instructions are perfect, I also got it working on my asus wl500gp, but the audio quality is not so good. This probable has to do with the usb sound card...
although I do get this error message:

This plugin is from the updated libao (1.1.0) which should have been packaged in the build with shairport.  Can you confirm that you have 1.1.0 installed and that it includes libalsa.so (opkg files libalsa)?

Thanks

root@OpenWrt:/# opkg files libao
Package libao (1.1.0-1) is installed on root and has the following files:
/usr/lib/libao.so.4
/usr/lib/ao/plugins-4/libalsa.so
/usr/lib/libao.so.4.0.0
/usr/lib/ao/plugins-4/liboss.so
root@OpenWrt:/#

I found out librt was not installed when I tried alsamixer. Message didn't come back since.

Audio quality is still bad, now I am sure that is the hardware, but I couldn't solve that in the past when I gave MPD a try

ao_alsa WARNING: sample rate 44100 not supported by the hardware, using 48000

I see this messages come by when I start the audio. the difference in sample rate could be the reason for the bad audio quality (cracks, noise, loud, no volume control).

my usb audio hardware is a TP6911:

root@OpenWrt:/# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1130:f211 Tenx Technology, Inc. TP6911 Audio Headset

Any ideas, or should I switch to C-media usb audio?

EDIT: definitely is the hardware. music goes faster at a higher pitch
