Introduction
Bring the possibility to play sound to AirPlay compatible devices to ioBroker.
Prerequisites
You need to have ffmpeg installed. Furthermore, a DNS-SD/mDNS implementation like Avahi must be available.
If you run ioBroker in a docker container, you probably need to adjust your settings for the host_mode and enable the
AVAHI environment variable. You can find further information here (ioBroker docker Image).
Usage
This adapter creates the devices it discovers via mdns/dns-sd service. If you wan't to stream an audio file to a AirPlay
device like a HomePod, then you need to enable the on-air datapoint per device (which you want to stream to).
After that you need to set the airplay.*.stream.file to a valid file path. Currently this is tested with mp3 file type,
others may work too.
If you want to adjust the volume, you can set the volume datapoint between 0 and 100.
