I have an Airplay-enabled A/V receiver on my home network. It shows up as a target in both iTunes and from my iOS devices, and I can stream regular audio to it just fine. But I can't seem to find a definitive answer to the following questions:
1) Is it possible to stream surround-encoded audio (e.g. 5.1 Dolby Digital AC3, etc.) via Airplay? For example, I tried the two test files at https://web.archive.org/web/20120502012657/http://lynnemusic.com/surround.html (links on lynnemusic.com are dead, but the archived snapshot has both files) -- but I can't get either one to import into iTunes, which makes me wonder if this is even possible at all. I can play both files in VLC just fine, and the receiver's surround hookup is working correctly. 2) Is it possible to stream video (regardless of the audio encoding) to an Airplay-enabled target other than an AppleTV? I can view a video in iTunes, but I see no way to stream it to the receiver (which has a full video path, including HDMI output to an attached TV). Sorry if these are obtuse, and thanks in advance for any tips. -H _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
