White light but no audio when streaming to HomePod Mini

[sverrirarnors]

What do you need help with?

I've been trying this package using the following command on a HomePod Mini

ffmpeg -i http://netradio.ruv.is:80/ras1.mp3 -f mp3 - | atvremote -n <name> stream_file=-

What happens is that a white glowing light appears on the HomePod, but no audio plays. If I check in the Home app, it says that the HomePod is playing, but there isn't really anything going on.

I've also tried passing the path directly in the stream_file argument, as well as streaming a local file, but the same thing happens. I also tried to factory reset the HomePod, but to no avail.

Do you have any pointers about how I can proceed with this? Is there anything more I could try?

I am encountering the same problem. I have a Python application that streams an FFmpeg stream to the HomePod. After the latest update, it broke. However, downgrading the library version back to 0.14.5 makes it work again.

That's interesting, will have to check that. I haven't made any changes to AirPlay streaming, maybe is related to some external library (like miniaudio). Is it the same with local files?

For me using an local file with the Path also doesen't work.

Using the 0.14.5 version worked for me as well @xXxNIKIxXx

This should be fixed in 0.15.1, please give it a try!
