how to use airfoil audio from computer to phone

I think has something to do with how AirUPNP 'makes' these speakers. ^ For some reason Airfoil has no issues seeing the Airplay and Chromecast devices made by Airserver, yet it can only show the first device AirUPNP found and no others.

The first speaker is more or less random, as closing and restarting AirUPNP generally results in a different speaker being discovered first, which results in Airfoil recognizing a different AirUPNP speaker then the previous time. In the next image you can see that my Mac recognizes them (as indicated by the '+' symbol), yet Airfoil doesn't recognize them all.Īs you can see, Airfoil can only recognize 1 of them, and if you look loser at the AirUPNP log, it only shows the first device it found (at the bottom of the speaker list in Airfoil). AddMRDevice:1008 : adding renderer (HEOS Link ATC)Īs you can see it can see my 2 HEOS speakers 'Keuken' and 'HEOS Link ATC' as well as my TV 'PHILIPS TV'. AddMRDevice:1008 : adding renderer (Keuken) AddMRDevice:1008 : adding renderer (PHILIPS TV) XMLGetFirstDocumentItem:1438 (BUG) ixmlNode_getFirstChild(tmpNode) returned NULL main:1428 no config file, using defaults Now I'm going to start AirUPNP to find my 2 HEOS speakers. So it appears that Airserver works with Airfoil. Airserver is a program that turns your computer into an Airplay and Chromecast video and audio receiver. You can also see my computer as both a Chromecast and Airplay device thanks to Airserver (as seen in the image on the left). This is an image of how airfoil looks to me (on the right).Īs you can see Chromecast and Airplay devices show up natively in Airfoil. This software allows you to connect to any UPNP enabled device you want and how many you want at the same time to send audio to.

Here is where a program called Airfoil comes into place. If you want to skip the over-explanation and go directly to the crux of my question, then go to the text starting with '^' at the bottom. This is A Mac related issue, so unless it's possible to add grouping as a feature to Airconnect, it's not possible to do this natively (at this moment). My main and only issue I have is that I'm unable to group audio devices, so I can send audio to multiple devices at the same time. I have been using AirConnect for a while now, and I must say that it works almost perfectly, outside of the occasional audible clicks you can throughout streaming audio via AirConnect.
