AudioBridge: AirPlay->Sonos

How is Audiobridge going for everybody? For me it's been inconsistent. I've been suffering drop outs and complete stops.
This is at random intervals.
Sometimes the Sonos cuts out and cannot be reconnected until a long wait.
The other thing I’ve noticed is that Audiobridge affects all my Airplay devices, and now my Airplay equipped Pioneer amplifier shows up as an extra device (with a plus sign appended) and cannot be connected to from my computer without Audiobridge running on my wife’s laptop.
Finally, and worse, the app author has ignored my feedback through the app and an email sent afterwards.

I regret I gave @jhurliman a shot by paying for the app at this stage.

Have had it in use now for two weeks with a lot of playing hours daily. I cannot play it concurrent with the Mac, but as single airplay set (Play:5 + Sub) it works like a charm. The few issues I had, I found out that it was an Wifi problem with my iPhone X. Still a few software bugs in iOS 11. When I try to play both iMac and the Sonos, the music is not in sync. It differs about 0.25 seconds but is annoying. Hope my comment was useful.

Dropouts have long been a well known issue with AirPlay. Hopefully, AirPlay 2, with much bigger buffers, will resolve this. AirPlay 2 is coming to Sonos sometime this year, possibly in April (or not).

Not before Apple has Airplay2 integrated in iOS11.3.x They just removed it again in 11.3 Public Beta 3. It looks like they don't get it to work properly.

Note that with AirConnect, the open source software which is mentioned above in the thread, the input and output buffer sizes (durations) are configurable. This is a nice feature which allows tuning for specific environments. I don't experience any dropouts with my AirConnect setups in either of my households, on any of my Sonos devices.

Thanks for those responses, and I'm glad it works properly for others. Mmm, so I paid for the @jhurliman package version so I wouldn't need to worry about configuration (and few options are provided). Over to you, @jhurliman!

I’ve sent feedback, via the app. Anybody else notice that whilst using AudioBridge, their screensaver will only activate manually, not on timer?

I don't have contact with @jhurliman but just know that he has packaged version 0.1.3.0 which is pretty old now - I'm at 0.2.0.6 and I have made lots of improvements, but I don't do packaging. All I've done is updating the README with the suggestions made by some to make the MacOS installation easier to do.
