About

AirPlay capabilities for your Chromecast players.

Apple devices use AirPlay to send audio to other devices, but this is not compatible with Google’s Chromecast. This add-on tries to solve this compatibility gap.

It detects Chromecast players in your network and creates virtual AirPlay devices for each of them. It acts as a bridge between the AirPlay client and the real Chromecast player.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other add-on.

Search for the “AirCast” add-on in the add-on store and install it. Install the “AirCast” add-on. Start the “AirCast” add-on Check the logs of the “AirCast” add-on to see if everything went well.

After ~30 seconds you should see some log messages appear in the add-on log.

Using your iOS/Mac/iTunes/Airfoil/other clients, you should now see new AirPlay

devices and can try to play audio to them.

Please read the documentation for more information about the use and configuration of this add-on.
