I am trying to use airplay ruby from an ubuntu server machine to play images on devices around my house.

air list does not show more than 1 receiver at a time. For some reason I have to turn off the one in my office to show the one in the living room.

Am I missing something? I am trying to use air view --device LIVINGROOM

The point of moving all the logic to the Node is to being able to group them and send common commands to all of them.
It should behave the same way as a node.

Proposed API:

Airplay.group["Backyad"] << Airplay["Pool TV"]
player = Airplay.group["Backyard"].play("cool_video")
player.wait

For some reason (an open socket probably) the AppleTV is not doing nothing useful when I send the stop command.
I'll need further investigation.

I am trying to play a simple AVI file using the CLI via air play ~/path/to/video.avi.

The AppleTV shows a spinner for a moment then shows the error: "An error occurred loading this content".

Feature request.

A simple HowTo for two or three popular operating systems on how to get this implementation going. Something to ease in semi-skilled users without knowledge of Ruby into being able to run the examples.

Perhaps MacOS + Macports, Debian/Ubuntu + apt, RedHat/Centos + yum.

Theoretical example for Ubuntu:

1. Install ruby:
   sudo apt-get install ruby rake rubygems

2. Install required gems:
   gem install cutest dnssd

3. Unpack the downloaded tarball:
   tar xzvf elcuervo-airplay-xxxxxx.tar.gz
   cd elcuervo-airplay-xxxxxx

4. Build and install:
   rake
   sudo rake install

At this point it will be possible to run attached examples by executing: 'ruby example1.rb'.

Alternatively, perhaps just a pointer a resource in the README file could resolve this issue. I don't believe it should be a crash-course in operating system administration but perhaps a simple, customary 'install these dependencies on the OS, install the following gems and run these commands to build' could be really helpful.

I'm happy to test and help with editing such documentation for the following operating systems:

Ubuntu 11.04
CentOS 6
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11
OpenSUSE 12.1
MacOS X 10.7 (with MacPorts)

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with Ruby and can't just write such documentation myself.

Best regards,

grok

When I try to run the examples on a Mac OS X 10.7.3, I get a getaddrinfo error:

$ ruby examples/send_image.rb

from examples/send_image.rb:4

Other than the above, the system can resolve DNS. When installing, following gems were automatically installed:

gem install airplay

Successfully installed net-http-persistent-2.6
Successfully installed net-http-digest_auth-1.2
Successfully installed airplay-0.2.9
3 gems installed

Googling for 'ruby getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known (SocketError)' yields results concerning nohup but it may be a red herring:

$ nohup ruby examples/send_image.rb

returns the same output in nohup.out.

When running the examples on other platforms (CentOS6 and Ubuntu 11.04), no errors are displayed.

Running tests/discovery.rb returns no errors (just 4 dots). This is consistent across all platforms. Installation was carried out as per #11 (comment)

This new release will include subtitles support as it main feature.

in #48 there was a discussion on the supported formats that the lib should take in consideration. Since encoding is out of the lib scope a live conversion feature will be added to airplay-cli so it also works as an example implementation.

System: OSX 10.9

That. It's a pain, I know :(

Or face an endless stream of issue, comments, pull requests and gratuitous bashing. :P

I am super excited about this! But I can't figure out how to make it work. :'(

My ATV 2, with latest iOS 5, returns to the home screen in between updates. I haven't started diagnosing what's up -- maybe I'm losing my connection between send_image / send_video calls? Opening this issue in case you've debugged this before.

Steps:

  airplay = Airplay::Client.new
  airplay.use apple_tv_name
  airplay.password apple_tv_password
  airplay.send_image(url1)
  airplay.send_image(url2)

Expected:
Apple TV displays url1, then displays url2 without interruption.

Actual:
Apple TV displays url2, then home screen, then url2.

The player of a node should have a dedicated function for switching the video source being streamed through the node's player.

Here's what the terminal spit out, Bruno:

Michaels-MacBook-Pro:cube_karaoke Mike$ gem install airplay-cli --source http://rubygems.org --pre
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'airplay-cli' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (https://s3.amazonaws.com/production.s3.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
ERROR: Possible alternatives: airplay, airplayer, gitlab_cli, ripple-cli, gitlab-cli

Ignore the Openssl error, I was able to use the same method to install the pre release of airplay, however it threw an error when looking for airplay-cli

The cli currently included in airplay provides some basic features, originally as an example.
Would it make sense to have it a separate gem (avoiding unused dependencies) or it should be as simple as possible and stay in the lib as an example implementation?

Updated both airplay and airserver, maybe the Airserver update broke everything but image streaming is not working for me right now on my setup. Can't try it with a real Apple TV at the moment. Streaming images from my iPod to Airserver seems to work.

Thoughts?

Currently the only way to find a node is to search for it in the LAN.
The idea is to allow to "hardcode" node ips and names.
This will allow to control an AppleTV even if it's outside the LAN

Proposed API:

Airplay.devices.add("ChinaTV", "555.555.555.555:7000")

Turned up while testing today.

Any suggestions? Has anyone built on 10.8?

When the airplay player finishes a video, it should close the connection (stop using resources) and default back to the Apple TV menu. Currently, when a video has finished playing, it goes to a black screen. Using Airplay.player.wait leaves the connection open indefinitely causing the action that calls Airplay.play to stall and never complete.

I will mess around with using threads to see if it's possible to interrupt the connection that way. Currently, if you use the wait function you cannot interrupt the stream using Airplay.play(uri)

Not sure about this one. I've been seeing this problem in varying degrees of high-numbers (from as few as 20 to as many as 1023). Here's the log:

Local videos should be able to be served as an internal server so the AppleTV can stream them

So currently I'm testing all the compatibility against some AppleTVs but theres also http://airserver.com that works pretty well but it's not exactly like an AppleTV.
I'm not sure about adding full compatibility with it.

There are several cache improvements possible while sending images and videos.

I received this error earlier while stress testing the gem. I was attempting to play continuos video without interruption.

CodeClimate is not complaining too much but I'd like to improve the overall quality and the method documentation.

• A better README.
• Documented code.

What is the right way to play videos that are longer than the 30 seconds timeout between the airplay script and apple tv?

I'm doing this to play the video until the end before transitioning over to an image...

require 'airplay'

client = Airplay::Client.new                                                                          
player = client.send_video("http://192.168.0.242/~wing/IMG_0301.MOV")

begin
  sleep 1
  scrub = player.scrub
  pos = scrub["position"].to_i
  duration =  scrub["duration"].to_i
end until (pos >= duration)

client.send_image("http://192.168.0.242/~wing/p.jpg", :dissolve)

sleep(10)

If it's right, it might be good to add it to the examples. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out a way to play the entire video.

Also, after the video is played, there is a blip between the end of the video and the start of the image dissolve, any way to avoid that?

Thanks for the gem!

It'd be so sweet to have subtitles supported! I imagine something like

$ air play [url to video] -s path/to/subs.es.srt

Or

require "airplay"

apple_tv = Airplay["Apple TV"]
player = apple_tv.play('path/to/video', subtitles: 'path/to/subs.es.srt')

Loading the subs automatically if they're located under the same directory, with the same name would be a plus.

The client has almost everything ready.
We need to start the server implementation

This might be something on my end but I figured I'd share it here. Occasionally when loading a video it will attempt to receive the media, then stop, and go back to the Apple TV main screen. This happens over the course of about 1 second or so, so it happens pretty quickly. I can resume playing media, however it spits out the following:

[2013-11-04 11:38:21] ERROR Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer

/Users/Mike/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/2.0.0/webrick/server.rb:295:in `block in start_thread'

Would it make sense to rename Airplay.nodes to Airplay.devices? It makes more sense?

Is there an easy method for accessing the duration in seconds of the video playing?

Somehow airplay stopped working for me. I always get this error:

Cleanup nicely after Ctrl+C is pressed to avoid crazy warnings.

If I have a string with raw image data inside, I cannot send it:

airplay.view(image_data)

gems/airplay-1.0.2/lib/airplay/viewer.rb:61:in `expand_path': string contains null byte (ArgumentError)
    from gems/airplay-1.0.2/lib/airplay/viewer.rb:61:in `get_content'
    from gems/airplay-1.0.2/lib/airplay/viewer.rb:23:in `view'

This is because of the get_content method, the tests do not actually work for all data types. I previously created a :raw option for the old send_image method: sodabrew/airplay@master...patch-rawimage

I'd like to port this forward to 1.0 codebase, or find some alternative approach.

Context:

I was using the CLI with my rails app calling commands using system(). As it stands, the CLI cannot be interrupted while sending a video. Here are the exact steps that happened to produce the following error:

1.)

system('air play "public/Videos/output.mp4"')

2.) Video began to play but I attempted to interrupt playback and send another video using fetch_video from the other thread, calling the above system(cmd) again and over-writing the output.mp4 with the new video.

3.) Nothing happened, the video continued to play. I hit ctrl+c and the CLI quit the current video and began playing the video I had requested earlier. A few more ctrl+c's and the server became unresponsive and repeatedly wanted to play output.mp4.

4.) I quit Terminal, the video remained playing despite Terminal being closed. I opened terminal, started the rails server, and then attempted to play another video generating the following errors:

My apple TV updated to the new version of iOS and sending images doesn't seem to work anymore. Don't know what could be the cause, I haven't looked into it.

Apple TV v3 running OS 5.2:

{"deviceid"=>"B8:78:2E:41:92:A1", "features"=>1518338039, "model"=>"AppleTV3,2", "protovers"=>"1.0", "srcvers"=>"160.10"}

Apple TV v3 running OS 6.0:

{"deviceid"=>"00:00:00:00:00:00", "features"=>61647880183, "model"=>"AppleTV3,2", "osBuildVersion"=>"11B554a", "protovers"=>"1.0", "srcvers"=>"190.9", "vv"=>2}

(This is the output of device.basic_info -- I made it non-private to dump the output)

Then I do the following:

air play "public/Videos/output.mp4"

"An error occurred loading this content." -- Apple TV

CLI continues attempting to play the video meanwhile nothing happens for some amount of time until I press ctrl+c and get:

I will fiddle around with this more but I haven't been able to send a video with iOS >=6.0

DNSSD.browse! is synchronous. So if there are no Airplay servers responding to the request it will hang. This will cause new client creation to hang as well. A timeout block needs to be put around it.

Part of the development for the server can be used to support the reverse http events when playing media.

Happened after playing several videos in sequence. I interrupted playback several times to send a new video and then on completing the last video in full, it threw this error message. After this error, I was required to restart the server before I could send more videos to the apple tv.

Thanks for your continued work on this, Bruno! Many hugs from Ohio :)

Playing public/Videos/output.mp4
Time: 00:03:20 [===================================================== ] 99% cubo

After the video finished, it should be possible to reach 100% (currently it stops at 99%). Additionally, I feel like there should be some sort of call back for when a video has finished playing in its entirety.

Along with Airplay there's Airtunes which is the protocol that apple devices use to send audio. This will add compatibility with Airport Express and Shairport devices.
It's build on top of rtsp and it will allow sending two actions like view and play a mp3 file.
Some commands like volume control are sent this way as well.

Context: I was using FFMPEG to transcode a video file with more than one audio channel. After completing the process, I fed the new video file into airplay. After airplay resumed playing the file, it held on a black screen then crashed.

It would be nice to have a --help option that explains the usage of the air cli.
