Apple Airplay in MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[andulv]

Just wanted to let you know that I have created a c# library for receiving AirPlay videos and photos.

It could probably be used as a basis for a MP plugin.

Source is available here:
AirStreamLib.NET

That sounds interesting, unfortunately I can't program at all, butmaybe some other programmer might be interested. I guess your library makes it easy to set up the whole plugin, doesn't it?

Assume it cant stream DRM'd video?

 

[andulv]

Your assumption is kind of correct.

Actually this lib streams no video at all. It receives URL of video file from iOS device which is then sent to the player application.

This URL can refer to an internet site (YouTube) or to the iOS device itself.

The player application then requests the video from the URL.

To support playback of encrypted content in a directshow application would require that decryption is done in the source filter, or that this library either acts as a source filter itself or forwards the decrypted data to a source filter.

Ofcourse, this also requires that decryption key and code are available. I know that AirPort (audio streaming) decryption code has been released, but i am not sure if that is the same as used by AirPlay. If that is the case I might have a go at a directshow solution for decrypting the stream.

Hi andulv,

great work, thanks! I will try to incorporate your lib into AirPortal, it is definitely better to have the AirPlay component in an external library than in the project itself, as it is at the moment.

Still need help with playing streams in MediaPortal, though I still think the best solution would be to either use code from MP-OnlineVideos or to modify that to allow playing airplay content. If anybody has knowledge here, please let me know or fork away on GitHub!


edit: there seem to be some files missing in your svn for the binary plist reader ...

 

[andulv]

Missing files are now checked in.

Blame my Tortoise Global Ignore Pattern. It was supposed to filter out the contents of bin\. Not all files containing Bin in the filename,

AW: Apple Airplay in MediaPortal

any news on this one?

 

[Dundermiflin]

I just installed the plugin with MP 1.2.1 and last StreamedMP and the Airplay icon does not appear neither my iPhone or my iPad2

I'm at in my default page , but I tried in Videos, or myTV page with no luck.

I tried to reboot too but the icon still missing in my iDevices........

Any ideas ??

 

[larsbln]

Your iDevice is in the same network(WiFi)?

 

[Dundermiflin]

Your iDevice is in the same network(WiFi)?

Absolutely.
Mediaportal, iPhone and iPad are in the same wifi , and I can navigate the web , buy on apple store , share photos on iCloud and use AirPlay on other PC with XBMC and his airplay plugin ( not in the hall, this is in other room )
that's why I really want AirPlay working on MP , cause this is in the hall with the 46" LED
