node-airplay

node-airplay is a client library for Apple's AirPlay remote playback protocol.

some code full reference node-airplay, thanks!

Installation

From source:

git clone https://github.com/zfkun/node-airplay.git
npm link airplay

Dependencies

• node-plist

  • It's my fork, add node-webkit support

  • If you are not in node-webkit, you can modify package.json like:

      "dependencies": {
      	"plist": "~0.4.3",
      	...
      }
    

• node_mdns

  • It's my fork, hack an error no such record
  • Unfortunately the original node_mdns is woefully out of date and has required many tweaks to get working

• ffmpeg

	brew install ffmpeg

``` javascript
// remote video
var browser = require( 'airplay' ).createBrowser();
