Possible to use an airplay device as source?
Closed this issue · 7 comments
Is it possible to use an airplay device as an input stream? For example, I'd love to stream from my AppleTV to other LMS devices.
Depends what you mean by « input »but Shairtunes that I now maintain allows you to turn LMS devices into AirPlay clients, so that anything that knows how to send to an AirPlay can send to an LMS « clone »
Interesting. I will check this out. Is playback managed in LMS? In otherwords, can you control a device streaming to LMS?
Thanks for all of your work on these plugins!!!!
LMS as a command line interface that allows programmatical control of players
Sure... I guess what I'm looking for is a way to stream from an LMS device the same way you would Spotify, or a remote stream.
Sorry but this is not fully clear in a sense that you say stream « from » an LMS device not stream « to » an LMS device. Why don’t you describe what you want to achieve in more details?
Apologies if I wasn't clear. My devices (Wiim Mini player) have an ADC. I'd like to be able to plug an audio source into one of them (e.g. a record player) and have it stream to other LMS devices. The same way you would pull up a remote http stream in LMS, I'd like to pull up a stream from a local device.
The Wiim mini player specifically, is airplay compatible as a device to both stream from and stream to.
If this is an AirPlay « source » then it has a UI to select what and where to play. Where can be any LMS device when Shairtunes plugin has been installed.
Another solution that the Wiim might offer is a simple HTTP stream from what is connected to the audio IN. Like a webradio. Then LMS would be able to use that stream to play it anywhere.
