//	airplay_device_id_offset = 0; // (AirPlay 2 only) add this to the default airplay_device_id calculated from one of the device's MAC address
//	airplay_device_id = 0x<six-digit_hexadecimal_number>L; // (AirPlay 2 only) use this as the airplay_device_id e.g. 0xDCA632D4E8F3L -- remember the "L" at the end as it's a 64-bit quantity!

airplay_device_id is set by deafult, adding this will cause a problem.

This was added on purpose to mitigate future issues with different MAC address appearing, as this would create multiple, different AirPlay devices, each time the speaker reboots.

Lines 20 to 21 in 2cfe460

	MAC_ADDRESS=$(micocfg_mac | tr -d ':' | tr 'a-f' 'A-F')
	sed -i "s/%MAC%/${MAC_ADDRESS}/g" ${CONF}

Can you provide details in what device and firmware base version are you having issues?

LX01
rootfs: 1.32.6
kernel: 3.4.39 from 1.62.2

/# uname -a

{
  airplay_device_id = 0x%MAC%L;
  run_this_when_volume_is_set = "/bin/volume color -q";
  dbus_service_bus = "system";
};
...

I guess this is because /etc is read-only and I think that airplay_device_id is calculated using the MAC address by default, and this configuration is not needed.

Gotcha, then the issue is expected and I'm working on a fix.

Basically, LX01 old version 1.32.6 does not have micocfg_mac, command returns error, and config is not properly rendered, which causes this problem.

I'm working to upgrade to latest version available for LX01 1.62.6 which does include this, but meanwhile I can hotfix this for the time being.

PS: you can fix this entry locally in the copied file to /data/shairport-sync.conf .
