Show HN: AirAP AirPlay server – AirPlay to an iOS Device

That's interesting! Does it work for streaming video or just audio? Sometimes I'd love to AirPlay from my video editing software to my iPhone to check how it looks on the smaller screen, checking colors and overall appearance.

Thank you so much for checking something off of my todo list!

Apple TV lets you share with two sets of apple headphones, which is awesome... but I wanted a way to:

* Share to more than two sets * Extend coverage past the (very generous) bluetooth range of AirPods. * Have lossless (albeit 44khz/16bit) wireless audio with audiophile headphones.

I was considering using an esp32, but so happy this exists now! Thanks!

Neat way to turn an iDevice in to a usable DAC.

This is actually something I've been looking for for a while, through some workarounds with jelkyfin and others I've been able to navigate something but this seems promising.

I've got a few questions maybe later with the protocols and stuff but so far from initial look, it seems super promising.

Nice job really!

A lot of apps allow you to AirPlay to multiple devices at once — would be neat to put this on a bunch of iphones to simultaneously play music

How old of a device can I install this on? (Eg to make an old phone an AirPlay receiver).

Edit: looks like ios17 is earliest

Nice work! Do you think that it is possible to port this to watchOS?

Works great from iPhone to iPhone.

This is cool, but like the other comment said I think it would be prudent to mention in the README that this uses the Airstream project for the AirPlay implementation: https://github.com/qasim/Airstream

I thought this was a new Airplay implementation from the way it was described, but then I looked at the source code and realized there wasn’t much there. Nothing wrong with wrapping a library, but it’s nice to mention the technologies used and set expectations.

I'm impressed this is so instantly installable via test flight! I have a suspicion Apple my pull this soon.
