SOLVED Try to run AirSonos, issue with registering on the network

[tslw]

I am trying o run AirSonos (https://github.com/stephen/airsonos) in a jail (on FreeNAS-9.2.1.9-RELEASE-x64). With this application you can stream music to Sonos systems with the AirPlay protocol.

I have been able to install AirSonos with npm version v.2.13.4, running on node v0.12.7.
(version 0.10 of node do not find network interfaces).

I have installed avahi and dbus in the jail and both of them are running.

When AirSonos starts it tries to find Sonos systems, and if found it will publish them on the network.
Finding the Sonos systems works, but registering them on the network not.

I have tried to use mdns instead of avahi but get the same error in AirSonos.
Has anyone an idea how to sole this?


Below I have posted some of my logs below.
AirSonos displays the following logging when it is started:

Code:

Note: To compile AirSonos on Freenas you need

• copy dns_s.h and mpg123.h from /usr/local/include to /usr/incliude/ (or add /usr/local/include to the include path for the compiler)
• Create a file config.h in /usr/include with

Code:

#define HAVE_STRERROR
#define ieee754_float32_t float

• To install airsonos use the following command:
  # npm install -g airsonos --mpg123_backend=alsa
• An error message can be shown by gyp that /root/.node-gyp cannot be written to
  Chmod 777 -R /root/.node-gyp

After some more research I found the solution to my problem myself:
There incorrect setting in /usr/local/etc/avahi-daemon.conf
enable-dbus was set to not where it should have been yes

I can now see my Sonos devices on my Apple devices
