Description

Update Shairport Sync from 4.3.7 to 5.6.2 and NQPTP from 1.2.6 to 1.2.9.

Shairport Sync 5.6 requires NQPTP with Shared Memory Interface 11 (smi11), so both components are updated together.

Changes

  • Update Shairport Sync to 5.6.2.
  • Update NQPTP to 1.2.9 (smi11).
  • Add native/libplist to provide the host plistutil required by the AirPlay 2 build.
  • Refresh shairport-sync.conf.template for 5.6:
    • service_type
    • alac_decoder = "ffmpeg"
    • lossless_mode
    • bitrate_stats_interval
  • Set SPK_REV=4.
  • Drop the unused libdaemon dependency and --with-libdaemon; the service framework handles backgrounding.
  • Generate the configuration template only on fresh install; upgrades preserve the existing config.
