What does HackerNews think of AirConnect?

Use AirPlay to stream to UPnP/Sonos & Chromecast devices

Language: C

Heh, I'm doing a similar thing with a random cheap internet radio and Apple AirPlay: My Rasbperry Pi is running AirConnect in a Docker container and converts all UPnP devices to AirPlay recipients.

Mine is running Hypriot OS (https://blog.hypriot.com): Everything on it is dockerized.

The coolest application: An Airconnect container (https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect) which upgrades my mediocre Internet radio device with AirPlay.

You can use mkchromecast for that: https://mkchromecast.com/#installation Also you can go further with it and cast from airplay devices: https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect

I have airconnect on a raspberrypi so I don't have to keep my laptop on and I can play songs from my iphone that way, just stream to chromecast audio. It's also worth mentioning it works a bit better than mkchromecast but it depends on your wifi.
