DLNA audio sink is not created in pavucontrol, in Slackware64 14.2 host

[cmeljakovo]

Hi,

Could you provide the recipe to properly start the container, so dlna sink is created in pavucontrol, please?
I have got to the point, where I can start the container, the DLNA renderers are discovered, but not able to see the audio sink in pavucontrol.
I have tried on Slackware64 14.2 and Debian Jessie, with the same results.

pa-dlna-debug.txt

The steps I followed:
xhost local:root
pactl load-module module-dbus-protocol
docker run -d --net host -v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd --user oozzy sesceu/pulseaudio-dlna --debug

Attached is the debug log.

I appreciate your help.

I have tested the container in other distros as well (Mint Cinamon 18.1, Debian Jessie/KDE, Debian/, Ubuntu 16.04) with same results.
The pulseaudio-dlna runs, but no audio sink is ever created.

Could you advise what recipe to use, to run the container successfully, or if I am missing something else?

Thank you.

Hi,

If the project is still maintained, could you give me a hint, please?
How do you use pulseaudio-dlna within the container, to control the dbus and creating ausio sink(s) on the host?
Do you use original program, where pactl commands are used?

Your help would be much appreciated!

Hi, sorry that it took me so long to answer. It is holiday season here so I don't regularly check my inbox. Unfortunately, I'm currently not using the image anymore, so maintenance is currently on hold. In the foreseeable future I will get back to the project, but that might very well be 3-6 month. I'm sorry, that I don't have better news for you, but you might just go ahead and fork the project. Regards, Sebastian Am 6. Januar 2017 17:34:45 MEZ schrieb cmeljakovo <notifications@github.com>:

Hi Sebastian,

No worries, it is not a matter of "life", just playing with the pa-dlna, since I've found it very attractive for my application, to be able to stream sound over network.
I appreciate your answer, and I think I am on the right track to resolve this, just don't have too much time to spend as I would wish to.

It seem to me, after discussing with the author of pa-dlna, to be able to execute pactl commands on host, within container, that's "all"...

Once I've resolved the puzzle, will post my findings happily.

Thanks again,

Ed
