    Gents, I'm using Airplay from my MacBook Pro (2015) connecting to my Denon AVR-3313CI. Volume will be automatically changed on the receiver using the controls on my keyboard or volume control in the bar. Let's say these two are connected. Pressing the button on my Mac makes the volume on my...

    Using and disabling AirPlay

    Hello! Learning about Mac's possibilities, I found out about AirPlay function. Correct me if I'm wrong, but: 1) AirPlay allows to project your desktop to Apple TV? 2) AirPlay can't be used to hack into Mac and browse files or affect system? No one can use AirPlay to get in from outside? But...

    Audio options without Airport Express?

    So I have used airport express boxes around the house to allow me to plug in iTunes airplay music directly into a device (usually a small stereo amp, or in once case an old tube pre-amp). Works great, I can fire up a playlist on my Mac and hear it all over the house. To do this I make use of...

    General Hotspot Questions

    I've got a couple of questions relating to the sharing of my iPhone's 4G connection via Personal Hotspot. I'm often at a location where my phone is only able to keep a solid 4G connection in a certain, small area of the building. I therefore keep my iPhone there while connecting my iPad via...

    iOS Airplay server detection protocol…?

    I am trying to create my own Airplay server, that will allow me to mirror (and record) the screen of Airplay devices to my new server. I have found quite a bit of information on the Airplay protocol, and I thought I had a good handle on what I needed to do to create the server. I created an...

    HDMI-CEC + Airplay = No?!

    So the Apple TV 4th gen has HDMI-CEC (if you don't know what this is, it basically means you can control the TV via a HDMI-CEC enabled device i.e. switch it on and off, turn the volume up and down from the Apple Tv remote - etc etc) So my question is: Why does the TV not switch itself on when...

    How does Sonos work?

    I'm thinking of getting a few Sonos to scatter around my condo but I'm wondering if they would be as convenient as AirPlay.

    AirPlay bug - Bedroom Spple TV (2)

    My iPad, now on developer beta 6, has this weird bug where the AirPlay menu lists "Bedroom Apple TV (2)" as an available option. The Apple TV we do own does appear in the AirPlay menu and works fine, but we do not own a device called Bedroom Apple TV and have never at any point owned one. I...

    AirPlay is a disaster...

    I like to use AirPlay to watch Twitch and Plex on my Apple TV....but AirPlay is in mirror mode by default now. Is this intentional? Is the old AirPlay gone? Edit: apparently we now have to select the specific target device in the music section of the control panel. So rediculous.
