AirServer compatibility?

I don't have an Apple TV, but use an iMac running AirServer instead. Works nicely when streaming from iPhone.

I'm trying out airplayer and it won't work for me:

$ airplayer play Archer\ -\ 403\ -\ Legs.mp4
 Source: http://192.168.1.75:7070
  Title: Archer - 403 - Legs.mp4
 Device: izerb (192.168.1.71)
$                                             | 0% Progress

As you can see, it just stops without playing. airplayer play 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4' will do the same.

Has anyone successfully used airplayer with Airserver? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Thanks for your report.

Sorry, I don't have an AirServer, so I can't tested that.

Please try following command:

$ airplay devices

What do you get output?

I get:

$ airplayer devices
0: izerb (192.168.1.71:7000)

Thanks. It looks enabled device, umm...

Is there a way to run airplayer in debug mode, to see at which step it fails?

tomohiro commented

My AirPlayer is depends on AirPlay gem for access to AirPlay protocol.
If you can write a ruby code, please try execute the airplay example code like this.

require 'airplay'

airplay = Airplay::Client.new

# To stream a video
airplay.send_video("http://www.yo-yo.org/mp4/yu2.mp4")

And other example code in Airplay README.

Thanks for your response.

I've tried sending several videos using the example code. For most of them I get Airplay::Protocol::InvalidMediaError: Airplay::Protocol::InvalidMediaError, and Net::HTTP::Persistent::Error: too many connection resets (due to end of file reached - EOFError) after 0 requests on 4671580, last used 1367681327.0472715 seconds ago for the others.

The videos I used are example mp4's and mov's from Apple. I think they're encoded correctly.

I know this is now more of an issue with the Airplay gem, not yours, but do you have any ideas what's going on?

PS: image files work fine.

I know that the Airplay gem has been rewriting under the rewrite branch is here.
https://github.com/elcuervo/airplay/tree/rewrite

You can checkout that the branch, and try execute new example code.

But new Airplay gem has not been released yet, I'm waiting now.
