AirPlay API for Mac OS X

indragie picture indragie · Mar 6, 2011 · Viewed 13.7k times · Source

Is there currently any API (public or private) that will allow a 3rd party Mac OS X application to stream audio to AirPlay receivers? Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba Software seems to be able to do this, same goes for Erica Sadun's AirFlick, but I was unable to find any source code that would demonstrate how to do this. Any pointers are appreciated!

Here is an open source ruby implementation. It's pretty straight forward. https://github.com/elcuervo/airplay
