Hi guys,<br>
<br>
>From the description on the ideas wiki, I inferred that it was from VLC on Android, or desktops to any AirPlay devices (such as AirPort Express, Apple TV or a shairport deployment). Since the possibilities are endless, maybe we can define a subset of server client combinations and look at them one by one for the GSoC project.<br>
<br>
I was researching on the things already out there and here are the findings.<br>
<br>
1. There are many AirPort enabled android media players, such as Twonky. I tried a few of them (the free ones). And they work for the most part, but are a bit stop-start in places.<br>
(I have a setup where my speakers are connected to an AirPort Express. This is what I planned to used for my testing. The response wasn't so smooth on a shairport deployment though. I couldn't manage to make these Android apps stream to my shairport deployment. I'm working on seeing why that is the case and all update once I figure something out.)<br>
<br>
2. I'm still looking for an open source Android app which has implemented AirPlay (to stream to an AirPlay device). Will try to work something out from there.<br>
<br>
3. There is an app called AirBubble which can be used to stream audio to an android device from an AirPort client. I'm looking for more such apps and hopefully I will find something open source.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any suggestions? Let me know!<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot!<br>
Regards,<br>
Arnav<br>
