Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: ShairTunes2 plugin - Airtunes on your LMS

There is a fork of shairport that supports sync.

https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync

Has anyone looked at this to try to get sync to work?

So you would have to start airplay via your airplay device then switch
to another device (or app) to sync the rooms.  If your streaming via
AirPlay, why not just sync via AirPlay to all your SqueezeLite instances
and update LMS what each device is playing?  To me what you're saying
adds extra steps.  Why does LMS have to sync the instances.  Then the
devices that are streaming via AirPlay don't need a squeeze/LMS app.
