AirPlay Receiver

Open source implementation of AirPlay 2 Mirroring / Audio protocol in C# .Net Core.

Generic

Tested on macOS with iPhone 12 Pro iOS14.

The project is fully functional, but the AAC and ALAC libraries written in C ++ must be built.

How To

Build AAC Codec

To download, build and install fdk-aac do the following:

Clone the repository and cd into the folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac.git
$ cd fdk-aac

Configure the build and make the library:

$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./configure
$ make

Build ALAC Codec

To download, build and install alac do the following:

Clone the repository and cd into the folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/alac.git
$ cd alac

Download and paste 'GiteKat''s files in 'alac/codec' folder cloned before

$ https://github.com/GiteKat/LibALAC/tree/master/LibALAC

The 'mikebrady''s source code does not contains 'extern' keyword. We need external linkage so we use 'GiteKat''s source code files.

Edit makefile.original as follow

``` # libalac make CFLAGS = -g -O3 -c LFLAGS = -Wall CC = g++ SRCDIR = . OBJDIR = ./obj INCLUDES = .

Edit makefile.am as follow

Configure the build and make the library:

$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./configure
$ make

Linux

On terminal type the follow to install build tools

apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool

Add compiled DLL path into 'appsettings_linux.json' file.

MacOS

On terminal type the follow to install build tools

brew install autoconf automake libtool

Add compiled DLL path into 'appsettings_osx.json' file.

Windows

Use this tutorial to understand how to install build tools and how to compile source code on Windows.
You need MinGW32 or MinGW64 based on arch.

Put repo folders inside msys64 home folder ('C:\msys64\home\').
homefolder

Start an mingw32.exe or mingw64.exe shell based on arch and execute commands.
mingwshell

The compiled dll will be saved in 'C:\msys64\home\username\fdk-aac-master\.libs\'.
Add compiled DLL path into 'appsettings_win.json' file.

TIP 1: If the ALAC library gives you an error during the compilation try to insert the following arguments in the 'makefile.am' file:

libalac_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info @ALAC_VERSION@ -no-undefined -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++

TIP 2: If the error code 126 appears when loading the dll, try to import all the dlls located in the C:\msys64\bin\ folder into the bin folder of the project.
TIP 3: If the error code 193 appears when loading the dll, it means that you are trying to load a dll with the wrong architecture, so you have to compile the dll with the other mingwXX.exe.

Here you will find an Article where I explain how the whole AirPlay 2 protocol works.
