Squeezebox Media Server and AirPlay?
Hi all, I wish to use airplay on my squeezebox devices via the squeezebox media server (multi room purpose). Can one of you point me in the right direction? I'm new to the whole NAS thing but no...
The iTunes server in the RN102 is forked-daapd. It will stream music to apple TV via airplay.
However, airplay actually won't play to your iPhone (or to my iPad...). The apple remote app (on the iphone/ipad) will let you play from the RN102 to an apple TV (or another airplay client). But apple doesn't provide an airplay client for the iPhone/iPad itself.
And apple's media players require home-sharing to see your music library - which forked-daapd (and other reverse-engineered servers) can't do.
What you can do is use something like 8player on the iphone with plex (or readydlna) on the RN102. AVplayerHD is another option - it does not use DLNA, instead it access the media with FTP. Both have free trial versions, so you can test them out.
