I recently needed to show some photos and videos on my phone on a screen. In the past, I used the youtube app to “cast” a video on my TV. However, this time it was different I needed to show videos on my phone’s gallery The screen I was casting to was not a “smart” one - that is, it did not suppor…

Nice work @rahul-thakoor :smiley: This would be great as an open fleet on balenaHub!

This is some pretty nice stuff right here :slight_smile: Would be cool to see it augmented with something like Miracast or RTSP to support more devices/apps. I remember trying my hand at that years ago to support casting youtube, should see if I still have that project lying around somewhere…

Thanks @chrisys Sure, will turn it into an open fleet soon :slight_smile:

Thanks @TJvV Yeah, right now it is Airplay only but hoping to add chromecast and miracast eventually. I remember trying my hand at that years ago to support casting youtube, should see if I still have that project lying around somewhere… This would be so great :slight_smile: Would highly apprec…

Optimising the app size for the edge Right now the app is ~500 MB. This is understandable since we are shipping artifacts that we don’t need - this includes build time tools and dependencies. We can use multi-stage build to reduce the image size. Technically we only need the compiled rpiplay binary…

This is gold @rahul-thakoor . Terrible project (anti-apple jokes) but finally the world gets to learn from your dockerise smarts. :blush:

haha, thanks @phil-d-wilson hopefully we can turn this project into a more generic screen mirroring app.

I have been digging around and sadly haven’t found my old project. I think it died in a HDD crash a couple of years ago. Did cause me to look back into DLNA/DIAL and the like. I don’t have a lot of spare time to work on it, but will try to get something up and running in the coming month.

Thanks for looking into it @TJvV I don’t have a lot of spare time to work on it, but will try to get something up and running in the coming month. Looking forward to it. Hope you get some time to get this going :+1:

Published the app as an openfleet: https://hub.balena.io/gh_rahul_thakoor/air-pi-play Turn your Raspberry Pi into an Airplay server!
