AirConnect VS docker-airconnect

Here’s the link: Airplay to Google

If you dont mind some tinkering AirConnect allows to use google speakers as airplay devices. I been using airconnect for a year and a half and it’s been working perfectly.

If you have a Raspberry Pi, there’s a way to bridge things with audio (in my experience, there’s a massive delay, but it works); with video you might be SOL.

I just use https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect on a raspberry pi.

If you have a device that can run this software. - GitHub - philippe44/AirConnect: Use AirPlay to stream to UPnP/Sonos & Chromecast devices - https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect

Apple Music doesn’t provide AirPlay support so you’d need a hardware bridge such as a Starling Hub or a software bridge such as AirConnect. I’ve tested the latter on Windows and it works, but it’s a bit ‘hacky’. Ideally you’d want it running on a server like a Raspberry Pi.

There are a few dockers that seem to be able to do what you want. Some can stream local audio to airplay devices what might work with a bit of scripting for your white noise and others might work as a Chromecast to Airplay bridge https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect https://github.com/1activegeek/docker-airconnect

they will if you install air connect on a pc or a docker instance https://github.com/1activegeek/docker-airconnect . it’s not ideal but it’s how i did it with my playbar for a long time.

This was my only hang up with switching from Spotify. I have so many Google home devices that I couldn’t easily connect to. But I recently came across AirConnect. I have a small server that runs Docker and with this up and running, every speaker in my house is now an Airplay speaker. Sucks that a workaround was needed but this was a good compromise for now.

There is airconnect (https://github.com/1activegeek/docker-airconnect) but it only works with audio
