help with vban_emitter and vban_receptor needed
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2018 12:52 pm
hello,
hopefully someone can point out what I am doing wrong
for a few years I have run Kodi on windows 10 using bananna and vban to send a copy of the audio to a raspberry pi which is running vban_receptor, which in turn outputs the audio feed to a hifi system which can feed other speakers around the home.
this has worked fine for my uses and is still working today
but I am now moving to using libreelec for kodi, but I need the above vban functionality so compiled up vban_emittor and installed it on the libreelec server
as a first stage in testing how this was going to work (before messing with alsa configs !!)
I used Aplay -L to find out the system default device and if I play a wave file using the following
aplay -D sysdefault -f cd testfile.wav
it does indeed play on the local system default speakers
my thinking was that to send this to the existing raspberry running vban_receptor all i needed to do was something like the following
/usr/local/bin/vban_emitter -i 192.168.0.103 -p 6980 -s Stream1 -d sysdefault
while aplay was playing the audio, and it should be sent to my raspberry vban_receptor instance invoked with
/usr/local/bin/vban_receptor -i 192.168.0.100 -p 6980 -s Stream1 -q 1
but I dont hear anything coming out of the raspberry
if I add -l 4 onto both ends packets seem to be getting sent and received but I'm not hearing anything.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I don't know what
any help gratefully received
Tim
