airplay problem #104

Open genseric opened 10 years ago

genseric commented 10 years ago

hello,

i am using the latest from the npm(0.13.2) on osx mavericks . the problem is that the airplay flag is failing. it is showing that it got the flag but no output is broadcasted to apple tv. i tried the https://github.com/benvanik/node-airplay and the https://github.com/zfkun/node-airplay modules seperately and they both worked well on sample local/remote videos. i also tried to broadcast the 192.168..:8888 to apple tv and that worked too, by making peerflix run without any player or airplay and then using the url to broadcast to appletv via one of these two modules. i did not go into peerflix' code but the -s flag on the 0.13.2 version is not working it seems.

thanks for the great project btw.

thanks!

i need to get my hands on an apple tv to test this properly. the airplay code in peerflix is really simple - if you wanna take a stab at debugging it (and maybe sending a PR) i would appreciate it :)

ok , i ll test it right away. i might go with the benvanik's version though. i ll report back. greate module , great job.

AirPlay is working for me, as long as the torrent is H.264. To make it work with any format, Peerflix would have to auto transcode the video from the input container to a MPEG-4 H.264 stream.
