I wish that patch was available as source -- I've spent a day getting a compilation environment up so that I could compile my own firmware, so I can't use their binary patch. I'd love to know what line or lines of code have to be tweaked to fix the USB 1.1 reset problem.

I got it to work on a TL-MR3020 with Attitude Adjustment by loosely following http://mikekazakov.blogspot.ro/2012/12/ … iver.html:
1. Use https://github.com/sm3rt/OpenWRT-ShairPort as a feed
2. Select the shairport package in menuconfig, not shairport_new
3. Change socketlib.h:27 from

int setup_server(struct addrinfo *server_address, in pPort);

to

int setup_server(struct addrinfo **server_address, int pPort);

, with the necessary changes in socketlib.c. This was to fix a segmentation fault that appeared because socket() didn't write in the provided struct. The symptom was "Error: Unable to accept connection to server socket: Bad address". Bad address in this case does not mean bad network address, but bad memory address.
4. Compile just the package and its dependencies (libopenssl, avahi-daemon, libao, libpthread), following the instructions at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howtobuild/single.package
5. Install the package.
6. Enable the daemons:

/etc/init.d/dbus enable && /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon enable && /etc/init.d/shairport enable

7. Reboot/start and enjoy!

If you're running on an AR71XX you can skip steps 1-4 and download the binary I built from my Google Drive.
Patched versions of socketlib.h and socketlib.c are also available. IPv6 is disabled in those and I've left some debugging code in because I couldn't be bothered to remove it, but they work.

@vladx2, Why use the sm3rt feed, but not use it's package?

We are talking about socketlib.h and socketlib.c located in the following folder right?
build_dir/target-mips_34kc_uClibc-0.9.33.2/shairport-2012-10-20

How can we properly fix this socketlib?

Enabling those deamons could be a part of the post install of Shairport?

I'm afraid it was mostly trial and error. Just posted to report what worked for me.

I used the shairport package instead of shairport_new by mistake, having tried other feeds before and not reading Sm3rt's instructions properly. To be honest, I didn't really investigate where the Sm3rt feed even pulls the code from, but it's not the latest Abrasive version as it claims in the Readme.

The fix to the socketlib is proper, not a kludge. The original version discarded the socket that the system call returned and the fix fixes that. However, the latest https://github.com/abrasive/shairport does not use socketlib.c/h anymore, so the fix is probably not needed in that.

Yes, enabling the deamons could be a part of the post install. Didn't do that since I have absolutely 0 experience with ipk's.

hi
can anyone help me please
i have TP-Link TL-WR841ND and i installed openwrt on it ,
and this device support (DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, OFDM, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) modulation Technology
can i select one of them manually .
i want the device uses one modulation .
thank you very much

I am using ShairPort_new from
https://github.com/sm3rt/OpenWRT-ShairPort

However, I noticed that in my device, rcS process is always stuck at boot.
If I terminate airplay, i.e. ShairPort_new or disable it from start-up, rcS disappears.
If I launch airplay, i.e. ShairPort_new after boot is completed, it seems to work just fine.

Anyone experience something similar? or have any solution?

How did you manage to get that compiled? Could you please shared a compiled version?

How do we get this version into OpenWrt "properly"?

The shairport package should make it into https://github.com/openwrt/packages/

Hi,

Am I just being stupid?? I can't seem to get this working on my 703N without going over the amount of space available? Whats the secret/easiest way to get this Shairport going ?

Thanks

* verify_pkg_installable: Only have 44kb available on filesystem /overlay, pkg libopenssl needs 670
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package shairport.

Check out ImageBuilder with it you can create firmware really easy with shairport already included. All packages that are included are compressed so you can fit more than later by installing packages...

Thanks Valentt, I'm very new to this and will check it out

I got Shairport working thanks to valdx2's image. Much appreciated efforts.

Although Shairport works now, I have to restart Shairport every time a system logs disconnects. Tried turning of ipv6 in Avahi to no avail. Anyone aware of a workaround for this minor issue?

Having an really annoying poriblem with shairport on WR703N. All deamons up and running at boot (usbd, avahi and shairport). WR703N configured as a AP

on my phone it looks like im connected, AirPlay symbol turns white, but when trying to play music it thinks for a while then drops connection. I do not understand what the problem is

Solved it! Needed to bridge wifi and lan in the network configuration file

updated /etc/config/network
config interface 'loopback'
        option ifname 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config interface 'lan'

        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
        option netmask '255.255.255.0'

updated /etc(config/wireless (just the wifi-iface part)
config wifi-iface
        option device   radio0
        option network  lan
