Description : Play music from all kind of music players who have airplay support

Installation : So firstly buy a iphone or Ipad...
If you got a Apple device, install the port like any other. You dont get a UI for now, it will close itself. Im currently in development of a UI but i firstly wanna make sure it runs everywhere

You also need a Steady wifi connection

Open the Music Player of your choice and connect via Airplay, thats it. It will be named the hostname of your device, so probably something along the lines like "muos-3224bf" "RK3566" "Linux"

When it crashes or just doesnt show anything, try again with the debug version, and then post the log here too!!!

Ive Tested:

Youtube
Spotify (also works without premium)
Tidal

[] AmberELEC
[X] ArkOS
[x] MuOS
[X] ROCKNIX
-> [] Panfrost
-> [] Adreno (Optional)
[] Knulli (Optional)

Probably needs chmod or something

#

I will check in a sec

#

hmm that didnt help

this is the only thing in log, is that intended behaviour?

urban sable Dec 9, 2025, 10:26 PM

i guess so?

obtuse swan Dec 9, 2025, 10:26 PM

not really, I have youtube premium so I guess I should have access to some of their music bullshit

yeah youtube works too

#

You can literally play any song or video and just press on the top right on that screen share symbol and then Airplay and then your device

obtuse swan Dec 9, 2025, 10:27 PM

#

yep it works, so you can check arkos

urban sable Dec 9, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

obtuse swan yep it works, so you can check arkos

Nice perfect

#

I just tried rocknix too and that works too

obtuse swan Dec 9, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

turns out OGA is not exactly greatest device to play music, who knew

urban sable Dec 9, 2025, 10:29 PM

#

yeah haha but its probably fine with headphones

obtuse swan Dec 9, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

funnily enough I could imagine myself using it when I have my phone (no headphone jack and I alway forget my bluetooth headphones) and whatever handheld with headphones together

urban sable Dec 9, 2025, 10:30 PM

but at that point isnt it better to just use Rockbox, mpd, Songo#5 ?

obtuse swan Dec 9, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

probably, but where is the autistic fun in sensible solutions?

urban sable Dec 24, 2025, 11:18 PM

#

Vibe coding is really good for a simple project

#

I could have coded that in half a hour instead of 10min too but i was too lazy

urban sable Dec 24, 2025, 11:53 PM

#

@obtuse swan, you are the only one who tested it. I dont wanna pressure you or anything, its just that i need to have a second testing on this. It works on muOS and Knulli. Ill test the rest tomorrow, but it would still be nice to see a 2nd tester on my shitty UI

📎 shairport.zip

#

The UI is as simple as showing Connected / Offline / Waiting , nothing more

obtuse swan Dec 25, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

Im gonna check on it through the day hopefully

obtuse swan Dec 25, 2025, 1:52 PM

#

Well, it works for me (audio works), but I am not really getting any sort of ui. Nothing interesting in the log.

/roms/ports/PortMaster/funcs.txt: line 134:  2161 Killed                  $GPTOKEYB "$PYTHON" -k```
Playback works fine for me on arkos, on 36xx with amber, it will play for like a second or two and then cutsoff and I am not sure if its caused by somewhat poor internal wifi

urban sable Dec 25, 2025, 2:43 PM

#

obtuse swan Well, it works for me (audio works), but I am not really getting any sort of ui....

Ah fuck, I assume it's only showing up a Black screen?

#

Or more grey ish

#

But yeah I've noticed playback needs extreme fast Internet

obtuse swan Dec 25, 2025, 2:45 PM

#

Well it shows nothing basically, black screen for a sec or two and then back to frontend

urban sable Dec 25, 2025, 2:46 PM

Oh, hmmm. I'll look into it. I assume either the Python shit is not working or it can't find the font

#

Can you add a DejavuSans font, I think it was that one in the Folder
