Hi,
I’ve got 3 devices I’ve run as a multi-room setup. It’s worked months (maybe years?) in the past, but stopped at some point and I hadn’t been able to return to it. I’d like to get it running again.
These are the 3 devices in the system:
- Pi 4B
- Pi0W with a PiMoroni PhatDac
- Pi0W with some generic HiFiBerry PiHat
The Pi4B is connected with ethernet and is the multi-room server.
The Zeros are connected with WiFi.
I run a mesh network with 2 routers. Signal strength should be pretty strong.
I’ve made sure I have the latest recommended OS and Supervisor Version on each.
I’ve been selective about what services I run as a way of decreasing the load and troubleshooting this issue. So:
- I’ve disabled spotify on everything because I don’t use it.
- I’ve disabled bluetooth because I can use airplay, but ideally I would use both.
- I’ve disabled multi-room server on the PiZeros and multi-room client on the RPi4
I rebooted them all, waited a bit, then sent sound to the RPi4 as a way to test. I’m not getting sound on the PiZeros, but I have complete logs!
- RPi4-hub.txt (87.6 KB)
- orange-pizero.txt (110.3 KB)
- office-pizero.txt (110.6 KB)
On the Zeros I’m seeing a lot of this.
multiroom-client 2023-02-15 00-05-09.310 [Error] (Controller) Error: Connection refused
multiroom-client 2023-02-15 00-05-09.312 [Error] (Connection) Error in socket shutdown: Socket not connected
multiroom-client 2023-02-15 00-05-10.319 [Error] (Connection) Failed to connect to host '192.168.1.67', error: Connection refused
I sent a bluetooth signal to one of the PiZeros to test and got sound – it was choppy and skipped, but I did get sound.
Any help would be appreciated!
