I haven't fully determined why, but when the Music Assistant server restarts, it marks the _shairport-sync_ players as offline and will not allow playing to them. The only way I have found to work around this is to restart the players after the server restarts. As that's pretty cumbersome and annoying, I naturally want to automate it, so I've created this rudimentary synchronization technique using _ntfy_: each player listens for notifications on a specific topic, and upon receiving one, tells _shairport-sync_ to exit. With the `Restart=` property configured on the _shairport-sync.service_ unit, _systemd_ will restart the service, which causes Music Assistant to discover the player again.
