8.3.7 - only AirPlay 2 supported

[Tim Curtis]

Not a helpful change for me. I use Windows Itunes (only compatible with Airplay 1) extensively to beam my music to Moode, and this update looks like it will break this feature. 

Can you suggest any workarounds?

FYI I have worked out a workaround by changing how I stream from iTunes. See here:

@Tim Curtis note that a less hacky workaround would be to set up two instances of Shairport on different ports...

I don't really understand @jwillikers implementation but in practice I think maintaining and supporting 2 builds of Airplay would be difficult for our project due to lack of manpower.

There is an Airplay 1 version of shairport-sync in our package repo. It's over 2 years old but still may work. You could try installing it over top of whatever ships with moode 9. It would be something like below but Ive not tested this and don't know if any of the airplay start/stop/restart code in moode would be affected.

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" install shairport-sync=3.3.8-1moode1
