I dont believe this is an apple protocol.

See USPTO Patent 7,734,256 . Also see Prior Art http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCatalog?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10551&in_dim_search=&keyword=airplay&x=0&y=0 This most likely licensed at best

I added the advert tag because a lot of the text looks like it was just copied directly from Apple's own site. The article should be rewritten to remove all of that. --Pyro|3d 23:56, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AirPort Express info

The following text belongs on the AirPort Express article, so I removed it from the article:

The AirPort Express's streaming media capabilities use Apple's Remote Audio Output Protocol (RAOP), a proprietary variant of RTSP/RTP. Using WDS-bridging,[1] the AirPort Express can allow AirPlay functionality (as well as Internet access and print sharing, etc.) across a larger distance in a mixed environment of wired and up to ten wireless clients. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianprime0509 (talk • contribs) 23:50, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


AirPort Express Private Key discovered

I added a subsection about the release of the AirPort Express private key on April 8, 2011. --Edifyyo (talk) 15:21, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a table

--Chicknfood (talk) 00:05, 13 April 2012 (UTC) This section needs a table listing all the receivers and transmitters and whether they transmit audio or not. Now that the AppleTV and new OS will include AirPlay, this will be a handy way to organize it all.[reply]

Pricing

Would be great if in the comparison chart there was an indication for each piece of software if it's free, or if not, how much it costs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alewin99 (talk • contribs) 18:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Playing files, or playing sounds?

Hey guys,

Just a question regarding the way this product works. Does it only play music files, or does it simply play all 'sounds' which come out of the computer? As in, if I were to watch something on Youtube, would that sound also be streamed wirelessly? Or if I were to play a game, would those sounds be streamed too?

Thank for the answer! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LAUBO (talk • contribs) 12:53, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you use Airplay on your phone to play back music on your stereo, the music is streamed directly to the stereo over the internet. If you play a game on your TV, the game is downloaded to the TV and your phone is just used as a remote, to control the game. If you watch a YouTube video, it is streamed directly from the YouTube servers to your TV, not via your phone.
The same applies to any other controlling device, eg, PC, iPad. Only with mirroring does your device directly send video to your TV, as that is a low bandwidth operation. 51kwad (talk) 15:18, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Split the "Third-party software implementations" table?

It seems to me that with the sorting fields and all, this table would be best split into two separate ones; one for senders and one for receivers. Any opinions?
