Airplay from macOs MC27?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Library Eye:
On Mac, if you're using JRiver and want multiple device Airplay support a one-time purchase of Airfoil is worth it. The cost can be covered, for instance, by skipping over the next MediaCenter upgrade for Mac, and unless this feature does happen to get added then I'd say it's worth considering that as money better spent over whatever may or may not be added to MediaCenter 28 for Mac. I get the upgrades, to support JRiver, but having multiple device Airplay support is a very important feature for me and one reason I stick with JRiver for Mac and not switch to Linux- so I consider Airfoil relatively essential.

Either Airfoil or Sound Source, both from Rogue Amoeba will let you send audio via airplay. I consider both apps to be highly useful for anyone who has a Mac and uses it to play music. I own both apps and couldn't be without them.

I did spend some time looking at this and there doesn't appear to be an API for it in MacOS.
There is one on iOS.

Yeah, am probably going to do that.  Was just thinking adding it to MC should be considered an important modern feature to be high priority for MC28.  Nowadays I am sure a lot of MC owners have various airplay (and even bt) speakers they would love to play to simultaneously.  If they haven't exposed an API for it must be something you just need to link an open source library that implements the standard for?  In my mind this sort of new feature would be worth the upgrade and like you I have been upgrading MC for years without much else that matters to me just to support them.

Setup Airfoil and it is essentially doing what I wanted it to, thanks everyone but this only reinforces that this should really be a feature built into MC natively.  I like that they have an EQ over the audio but unfortunately it isn't possible to EQ each airplay individually.  Latency is a bit high assume it is using Airplay 1 not 2 ?  Thought Airplay2 was supposed to drastically reduce latency.
