Mopidy extension that controls its own instance of the Snapcast client.
In a multi-room multi-Mopidy configuration
the sound card of a room speaker is either owned by Snapcast client or by the local Mopidy instance. This extension will
start snapclient when Mopidy is stopped and stop it when Mopidy is playing.
Install by running:
sudo python3 -m pip Mopidy-Snapduck
Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-Snapduck to your Mopidy configuration file:
[snapduck]
snapclient_path = /path/to/snapclient
snapclient_args = arguments_for_snapclient
The following configuration values are available:
snapduck/enabled: If the snapduck extension should be enabled or not. Defaults totrue.snapduck/snapclient_path: Path to the snapclient executable. Defaults to/usr/bin/snapclient.snapduck/snapclient_args: Arguments for snapclient. Defaults to none.
When using ALSA Mopidy will not release the sound card immediately after stopping, so it is recommended to configure a dmix device to enable shared access between Mopidy and the Snapcast client.
