Shairport Sync
- Shairport Sync is an AirPlay audio player – it plays audio streamed from Apple devices and from AirPlay sources such as OwnTone (formerly
forked-daapd). - Shairport Sync can be built for "classic" AirPlay 1 or limited Airplay 2 support. The AirPlay 2 build is much bigger and requires more libraries and RAM at build time and run time.
AirPlay 2
For the latest on AirPlay 2, please visit AIRPLAY2.md.
Guides
- A brief guide to building classic Shairport Sync for AirPlay 1 is available at BUILDFORAP1.md.
- A guide to building Shairport Sync for AirPlay 2 on Linux is available at BUILDFORAP2.md.
- A guide for building on FreeBSD is forthcoming.
Note
Shairport Sync does not support AirPlay video or photo streaming.
