A portable open-source AirPlay/RAOP server that emulates an AirPort Express, allowing iOS and macOS devices to stream audio to it. It is written in C and provides both a shairplay binary and an embeddable library.
Use cases
- turn a Raspberry Pi into an AirPlay audio receiver
- stream music from iPhone to Linux speakers
- emulate an AirPort Express on a home server
- receive AirPlay audio on a headless machine
- run multiple AirPlay receivers on one network
When to choose
- you want a lightweight C-based AirPlay audio receiver
- you need a library to embed RAOP/AirPlay support in your own app
- you run Linux or another Unix-like system without Apple hardware
When to avoid
- you need screen mirroring support (only experimental via GPLv3 playfair)
- you need an actively developed project with recent releases
- you require AirPlay video or full AirPlay 2 features
