not working under systemd on linux

[artur9]

Sonospy is working great, transcoding and everything.  Search seems a little off but I'm ok with that for now.

I tried to make a systemd service file for it but that does not work.  After doing a 

systemctl start sonospy.service

python ends up eating 99% of the CPU and not becoming visible in the Sonos controller.

If I log in as the sonospy user I created, and set up everything the same as systemd, it works.  I created the sonospy user via

useradd -r sonospy -d /usr/local/share/sonospy

and I unzipped the  msrefactor5 zip in there.

Any ideas?  Here's the sonospy.service I created.  I linked it to the systemctl directory like this:

ln ~sonospy/sonospy.service /etc/systemd/system/

systemctl enable sonospy.service

more ~sonospy/sonospy.service

I found the problem.  ExecStart does not expand the $HOME variables.  Who knew?

So 

ExecStart=/usr/bin/python pycpoint.py -p -sSonospy=CD,$HOME/standard-sonos.db -sSonospy=Hi,$HOME/hi-sonos.db -r -d -z $SONOS_ZP

needs to be

ExecStart=/usr/bin/python pycpoint.py -p -sSonospy=CD,/user/sonospy/standard-sonos.db -sSonospy=Hi,/user/sonospy/hi-sonos.db -r -d -z $SONOS_ZP

or whatever HOME really is.

Actually, it will expand them but the syntax is ${} for variables so the working version is:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/python pycpoint.py -p -sSonospy=CD,${HOME}/standard-sonos.db -sSonospy=Hi,${HOME}/hi-sonos.db -r -d -z ${SONOS_ZP}

I love it when someone answers their own question :o)

You don't need both -r and -z in your command line. -r registers with the first ZP it finds, whereas -z forces it to use the one you specify (and overrides -r).
