MailPrinter VS AirConnect

This reminds me of something I did a few years ago. I had an old printer for which the drivers did not work properly on Windows. Connected the printer to a Zero W and it became accessible to every device on my network through CUPS. I even made it print PDF attachments from emails [1].

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.
