Is there any chance to get support for Airplay v2 in the near future (is this a planned feature)? Or must we switch to Airfoil ,wich is still under active deployment?

Are there any Updates so far!?

Hi,

Thank you for your patience. 

The following pre-release fixes compatibility issues with most AirPlay 2 receivers including AirPort Express with firmware version 7.8, latest OS on Apple TV 4/4k, and most other AirPlay 2 receivers:

Sonos is not fully supported in this release. ( Currently, TuneBlade can interrupt an active AirPlay stream on Sonos speakers and play audio on them)

Thanks,

Just rebooted computer and ver 1.7.7 auto discrovery not working.  tried adding my airport express with port 5000, etc as has worked in past, and tuneblade cannot connect to airport express.  seems like only way to get it to work intermittently is to reboot system and hope it autodiscovers because adding doesnt allow me to connect.  using windows 10 autoupdated computer alienware R3 and Razerbook stealth 2017 versions.

I emailed breakfree audio for recommendations (December 23/18 ) on walk through on how to get this fixed and will update group here if solution found from breakfree.  Anyone have further luck please share otherwise will look at passing concerns further, facebook etc for help

Tried port 7000 for airport express ver 2 and so far working after reboot.  if you have non airplay 2 airport express (gen 1) try port 5000.

Will await to see from breakfree if newer versions beyond 1.7.7 work with this configuration of ports after manual install.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to us. 

The auto-discovery issues are usually due to factors external to TuneBlade. In order to verify this, you can install Apple iTunes on the same PC where TuneBlade is running and check if the AirPlay receivers are being discovered. 

We've made a short troubleshooting guide on this issue: 

http://www.tuneblade.com/support/documentation/troubleshooting/1.html

The best solution is to add the receiver manually as you've done already. When a receiver is discovered using auto-discovery, it's IP and port are shown in TuneBlade Settings -> Receivers section. Make a note of this, and add the receiver manually using these settings. 

Another recommendation to restart the auto-discovery service, instead of rebooting the PC, you can go to Windows services and look for "Bonjour Service", and restart it. At times, re-enabling WiFi does the trick. 

Please let us know if you require any further support. 

Thanks,

The TuneBlade Team
