How to change AirPlay name [TUTORIAL]

[jamiegoodwin]

If you got the VoCore2 + audio dock and wish to change the AirPlay name, connect via SSH and run:

Code: Select all

vi /etc/config/shairport-sync

Or if like me you prefer nano:

Code: Select all

opkg update
opkg install nano
nano /etc/config/shairport-sync


Then look for option name 'VoCore2-AirPlay' and replace 'VoCore2-AirPlay' with whatever you want (e.g. I've called mine 'Bedroom").

It might not be 'VoCore2-AirPlay', it might be slightly different but it's whatever's after option name in quotes.

Or if you're extra-lazy like me :

Code: Select all

uci set shairport-sync.shairport_sync.name='In One Ear'
uci commit
/etc/init.d/shairport-sync restart
