AirPlay bridge & YouTube not working with S. Touch as transporter ANYMORE

30. Oktober 2018 at 21:55 #41772

Both plugins worked fine till a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t updated/ upgraded my Pi neither my Squeezebox Touch. So I updated and upgraded my Pi and MAX2PLAY but still both plugins aren’t working anymore.
YouTube:
I can access the YouTube App through my iPhone/iPad (iPeng) and my Mac, and I even can search songs and videos, but when I start a song or video it takes about 30 seconds till I hear anything and oh boy it comes with a lot of connection losses.
AirPlay bridge:
Same with the AirPlay bridge. The first time I installed it, it worked out of the box, now I even can’t see my Squeezebox Touch showing up as a transporter/ player anymore, only my Pi, but the Pi only serves as server. One post, two problems; sorry for that.

Okay, I got AirPlay to run via installing ShairTunes2. Even with decoding ALAC into mp3 128 bitrate and setting the buffer level on 50kb I get drop outs. My WiFi signal is strong and my router definitely is capable of streaming 4k… what’s wrong here?
Btw: I just got rid of the YouTube plugin.

Does really no one with the Squeezebox Touch as streamer have the same problems? Suggestions anyone?

Hi Berlinmalte,

For the SB Touch you’ll probably get the best feedback in the slimdevices forums.

Generally, to rule out any connection errors with WiFi you can try connecting via ethernet or using a WiFi dongle (Disable Default WiFi Interface WLAN0 on RPI3 in the Raspberry Settings).
