Veetop AirMusic box about pulseaudio-dlna

It is not being recognized? Thats odd ... The discovery of the devices is pretty solid.
Can you retry it a few times? And if that does not work, try to power your device on while pulseaudio-dlna is running.

• 0.4.4 - (2015-08-07)
  • Added --disable-ssdp-listener option
  • Fixed a bug with applications which remove and re-add streams all the time
  • Added a missing dependency python-psutil

Just tried a couple more times this evening on the latest version (0.4.4) with no luck, even powering on whilst pulseaudio-dlna is running. Any debug output I can provide?

FYI 15e51f1 is still working. Start up output:

I made a branch for testing purposes.

Could you check it out and provide a debug.log?

1. Make sure you installed the dependencies (if you installed 0.4.4 you should have installed them)

Otherwise:
sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-pip python-setuptools python-dbus python-beautifulsoup python-docopt python-requests python-setproctitle python-gobject python-protobuf python-notify2 python-psutil vorbis-tools sox lame flac faac opus-tools

2. Install virtualenv & python-dev

All Ubuntu versions prior to 14.10 Utopic need to install:
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv python-dev

All Ubuntu versions above install:
sudo apt-get install virtualenv python-dev

3. Checkout the code, run it and write a debug.log.

git clone https://github.com/masmu/pulseaudio-dlna.git
cd pulseaudio-dlna/
git checkout bug/reliable-discovery
make
bin/pulseaudio-dlna --debug 2>&1 | tee -a debug.log

Apologies for the delay in trying this. Ran through the instructions today ... and it now works. Air Music Box picked up fine, and audio streams to it.

This is only the case for this branch, /bug/reliable-discovery, run through a Python virtual-env. Global install fails on startup,

$ pulseaudio-dlna 
bash: /usr/bin/pulseaudio-dlna: No such file or directory

and the PPA version still fails to identify.

Here's a gist with the logs captured on the succesful branch through the virtual-env

[masmu]

Yeah. You are right. The branch was just for testing the actual changes i made for this to work. Now it has reported twice to be working you will find these in the next release.

Did you do a sudo make install? That could have messed up your global installation. In general: Try to avoid sudo make install commands whenever its possible.
Since you are using Ubuntu you have a package manager for that.

Thanks for the tip, and the very speedy changes
