I figured I'd do one last AirPlay-related post this year, getting proper multiroom audio working.

I had a really strange Shairport Sync issue that I spent several hours debugging:

In a very specific setting, Shairport Sync would crash with “Bus error (core dumped)” when playing a track. ONLY when MQTT was enabled and ONLY when playing a track from #OwnTone (other sources, such as Apple devices, worked fine).

I eventually solved it by simply installing the system from scratch onto a new SD card. 🤯 Maybe the SD card was just bad?

TIL that for clock sync in AirPlay 2, shairport-sync uses PTP (or a close variant called NQPTP), while OwnTone uses NTP. This is why OwnTone can't stream to shairport-sync using AirPlay 2. 💡#apple #airplay #owntone #shairportsync
