From ce9f921b70aba5afbea3686d9cbc7ce659d212f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nicsuzor Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2022 18:09:02 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Add info about reliance on avahi-publish-service For people who need to use `--with-external-mdns` (particularly installing in a container on a host where avahi already exists), they should ensure they have avahi-publish-service available. --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 0efe90aa..2c32bbec 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -191,7 +191,7 @@ $ autoreconf -i -f - `--with-stdout` include an optional backend module to enable raw audio to be output through standard output (stdout). - `--with-pipe` include an optional backend module to enable raw audio to be output through a unix pipe. - `--with-soundio` include an optional backend module to enable raw audio to be output through the soundio system. -- `--with-avahi` or `--with-tinysvcmdns` for mdns support. Avahi is a widely-used system-wide zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) service — it may already be in your system. If you don't have Avahi, or similar, then consider including tinysvcmdns, which is a tiny zeroconf service embedded inside the shairport-sync application itself. To enable multicast for `tinysvcmdns`, you may have to add a default route with the following command: `route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 224.0.0.0 eth0` (substitute the correct network port for `eth0`). You should not have more than one zeroconf service on the same system — bad things may happen, according to RFC 6762, §15. +- `--with-avahi` or `--with-tinysvcmdns` for mdns support.
