MQTT - Setting the active_state_timeout

[dsfsdbvxc]

Firstly, appologies as this is probably a very simple mistake i'm making.

I've got Shairport-sync (4.3.3) working with MQTT this evening and its reporting its state correctly in Home Assistant. However i'm not sure how to change the active_state_timeout

In the documentation, under 'Overall Active States', where does this section go? In /etc/shairport-sync.conf ?

sessioncontrol = { // "active" state starts when play begins, and ends when the active_state_timeout has elapsed after play ends, unless another play session starts before the timeout has fully elapsed. active_state_timeout = 30.0; };

Sorted, see you can set in the Home Assistant configuration.yaml, under off_delay

Apologies for not responding — it’s good that you got it sorted.

But yeah, if you do a # make install, a sample configuration file is installed at /etc/shairport-sync.conf.sample and in it you can see where the active_state_timeout setting goes.

Thanks for the reply and extra info.

Also a big thank you for Shairport-sync. I've been using on 3 Pi's in my house for years and its been brilliant.
