Hi - Just a quick question: if I understand right, your plugin is to make LMS players controllable from AirPlay controller. I wrote a plugin that transforms UPnP devices into LMS "native" devices (squeezelite inspired). I've been asked if I could do the same, but for AirPlay devices. I've read a bit about Airplay, but I don't know much about. With your experience of shairtunes, do you think this could be feasible ? What I do know very well now is SlimProto and I'm heavily modified squeezelite, so I know it very well as well. Basically, I have everything in that "virtual squeezlite" to receive LMS audio data and buffer it if needed, receive and respond to LMS commands (start, stop, pause, volume ...), retreive metadata ... Then all these commands are forwarded to the UPnP player (acting as a bridge). From the UPnP player, I extract timing information, detect track change and report all that to LMS. Could I use shairtune to "replace" the UPnP side of the bridge and do the stitching. What's your opinion ? LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2. Sonos 2xPLAY:1, PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, JBL OnBeat, XBMC, Foobar2000, XBoxOne (sort of) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philippe_44's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103783 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
