Does not appear as airplay speaker

[Lorn888]

I'm trying to get the set up working
I have :

sonos play 1
raspberry pi 4b (using Homebridge on it btw)

and after following the instructions and running Airconect on my raspberry, speaker still comes up on spotify as a wifi speaker not Airplay like my homepod or even TV.

Please tell me what I should do what info you need to be able to help me. I really want to make it work

[philippe44]

I'd need a log to see what is being detected. Just launch it manually and copy/paste the screen or look at the command line help to log tings in a file

[Lorn888]

is that what you mean ?

[philippe44]

Yes. It seems you have launched it in a docker or behind a NAT. Per doc, it can't work, it must be on the same network as the devices. If this so docker, use host mode. Homebridge would have to be configured for that. I think AirConnect has a prebuilt HB package.

[Lorn888]

Can you tell me more about? What exactly should I do ? I'm not exactly a raspbian pro. How to launch it outside of the docker ?

[Lorn888]

I disabled all dockers on another pi and followed instructoions and still nothing

[philippe44]

Can you tell me a bit how your network is configured? What is where in term of segments?

[Lorn888]

Not sure if that's what your asking but I have a router and all the devices connected to it via WiFi.

2 raspberry pi's included.
One of them I use as a homebridge
The other for code-server for my iPad

The Sonos speaker is also connected via WiFi.

Is that what you wanted to know ? Let me know what info you need.

[Lorn888]

Oh and that homebridge is also using zigbee athena for lights

[philippe44]

No I mean are they on the same subnet or do you have a different subnet for your players versus homebridge versus other devices. If your router is subdividing your network or you did or your router is having some weird protection sets, like IGMP routing, it's preventing devices to be discovered when they are on different segments. As long as they are all on WiFi (and the searcher) then that would be fine.

Still it seems that you are launching AirConnect in a class A network which is pretty unusual unless it's dockerized or beyond some kind of NAT. That's my highest probable suspicion but it can be some thing preventing multicast traffic between branches of your network as well.

If you are not familiar with these topics, I suggest you google them

[Lorn888]

Will it help if I provide you with multicast.pcap?

[Lorn888]

Tried on my windows pc and its just seeing my TV(its already airplay) and doesnt see the sonos speaker

I can't tell for sure but I think you have one of these wifi network system that wants to be smart but potentially interfere a lot with broadcast and multicast and that's in the way here, likely. Try any UPnP tool that discovers players and try to see, from the same Windows machine, if it sees the Sonos (I'm not talking about the Sonos app, but about a vanilla UPnP controller).

The gupnp-tools is a quite good tool for debuging UPNP stuff.

You can install it on raspian by running sudo apt-get install gupnp-tools and then list your renderers by running gssdp-discover --timeout=3 --target=urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1

My speaker shows up as:

$ gssdp-discover --timeout=3 --target=urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1
Using network interface eth0
Scanning for resources matching urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1
Showing "available" messages
resource available
USN: uuid:F00DBABE-AA5E-BABA-DADA-188ED5720302::urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1

Runing a discover will show what UPNP renderers are visible to your Raspbian.

It can be as Philippe said that you have a router which handles the cabled and wireless as two different network and therefore the devices cant see each other. You might have a setting for this on your router / wifi box.

I just noted that you are running aircast on your Raspbian, shouldn't it be airupnp for Sonos?

[Lorn888]

I'll try what you said asap. And yes I was trying aircast but with airpnp it was the same situation

This is what I get when I connect via eth cable

It doesn't list any renderers, if you look at my example it listed the description URL of my renderer. I also find the interface a bit weird as it scans usb0. You might want to run a sudo ifconfig to confirm which interface is used for your wired network connection. Then you can run a gssdp-discover -i eth0 --timeout=3 --target=urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1 where ypu replace eth0 with your device.

[6b6561]

Is your wifi maybe acting as a "guest network" if so, then it might behave in such a way that devices are not able to see each other. What brand and model is your router?

[Lorn888]

I'm using virgin media hub 4
