Hello Members,

I love all of the functionality of the SHD except it does not have Bluetooth. For this reason, I have been considering the purchase of the Flex.
Is there a means to playback music from one's phone (ex. via YouTube) opposed to the streaming features incorporated within the device?

If I missed the answer in the documentation and from reading the FAQs, please accept my apology.

Regards,

Thank you for the reply. I am going to research Volumio more to see how I could accomplish the end goal. Cheers!

Airplay through Volumio.

Just to check, are you currently successfully doing this on an SHD? I'm just asking as it has a bespoke version of Volumio rather than what can be freely downloaded, and looking on my SHD there's nothing obvious in Volumio that suggests Airplay is a feature. There is no Airplay plugin that can be installed for example. There is also no mention of Airplay in the SHD manual.

An SHD is on my short list, so no I don't have direct xperience with it.  However before posting my answer, this very forum has examples (including screenshots) of the SHD showing up as an Airplay endpoint.

If memory serves correct AirPlay is installed as system plugin. You can't see it neither can you uninstall or disable it over the volumio Interface.

Something went wrong with my post. I am trying again…

I now have tested Airplay on my ipad, playing the sound of the youtube app to my SHD Studio. It works fine. And there is no additional volumio plugin installed. So it is integrated in volumio. I cannot find an option to disable it.

I'd had a search of the forum before replying yesterday, and like you probably I came across the following from over 3 years ago:

www.minidsp.com/forum/shd-series/16317-d...upport-airplay#44097

I asked you the question I did as I was wondering if you were in a position to confirm the current situation, given there is still no official information on this and there have been changes made to Volumio over the last few years. It's good to see that @gbr has confirmed it still works though  .

As described on the linked thread by Ultrasonic you can turn off Airplay in the „My Music“ settings (or however it is titled in english) by „Shairport Sync“ I guess.

Volumio on SHD comes with preinstalled airplay. If not already enabled, you just need to enable it through volumio's settings-->My Music-->shairport-sync and you are ready to stream from any iOS device using airplay.

Keep in mind that it is prone to packet loss, so you might notice glitches/interruptions if your SHD is connected over wifi and not an ethernet cable.

Prerequisite is that both devices are in the same network.
