Airplay for songs
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open iTunes.
2. Open AirStream Media Player
3. Play audio file
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect iTunes will show the airplay icon to let me play on the remote
computer. However, airplay option is only shown when a video is being
reproduced. I would like airplay support for audio files also.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
airstream-media-player 1.1, tested in both Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Please provide any additional information below.
Great program. Video stream works nice.

Hi,
Thanks for your report - unfortunately I don't think it will be possible to
stream music tracks as Apple use a different protocol for it - one which isn't
as open as the method they use for video.
Video runs over standard HTTP, which meant I could see the traffic between
devices and mimick it - audio doesn't seem to be the same.
I think the music streaming is encrypted and companies have to pay Apple for
the licence to use it, which I can't do.
If I ever do find a method to do this, or if anyone knows any details of how to
communicate for streaming audio, please let me know.
Sorry

Hi,
maybe this can help: http://shairport4w.sourceforge.net/
There seems to be a reverse engineered airport express key floating around that
can be used.
