Hmm, interesting. Afaict from that blog thing though is that its only audio thats reversed but I might be wrong (haven't looked to hard tbh). Have downloaded the code from xmms2 and it sadly seems like there is no library for it, just plain code. Might need to discuss with those developers about making it a proper library instead which we both could use.

At any rate, it should be possible to add in xbmc I would bet but afaik no developer has any hardware using this technology. Please consider donating for that cause and perhaps we will take a look, might be a nice feature if possible.

Cheers,
Tobias

Davilla has a atv2, which does Airplay too! Maybe he's interested in this as well?

The protocol has been reversed engineered and made open source for AirTunes (previous version of AirPlay). But the problem is the communication is encrypted with yet-to-be discoverd key. iOS devices simply refuse to communicate with the open source protocol because of this security check.

This has to be solved before xbmc can "emulate" itself as a AirportExpress and act as a target for AirTunes/AirPlay

Dont expect anythng soon Sad

It's not even finished and it's already ad-supported. Getting the source code is highly unlikely.

But at least we know mimicking an AppleTV is possible!

From what i understand all the communication is happening via port 7000. using http commands. I don't have an airplay device so i can't confirm this.

Bonjour browser reports a service on port 22555.

once when i have a device i'll be able to see what commands are being sent over the wire. Should be rather easy to figure out.
