AppleTV2 Gives error "406 Not Acceptable" #20

Closed colinthesealion closed 10 years ago

colinthesealion commented 10 years ago

I've been successful at connecting to both my Airport Express and Airfoil Speakers, but when I try to connect to my AppleTV2 I get error "Not Acceptable", which I presume is HTTP error code 406.

I would guess this is probably related to the similar problem faced by airfoil: http://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2013/09/25/airfoil-for-mac-4-8-1-restores-appletv-compatibility/. I've contacted them as well to see if they'll share the workaround.

Well I used tcpdump to sniff the packets being sent by airfoil, and it seems that all they did to enable streaming to the apple tv is to remove the encryption.

I have made some changes to my local copy of rtsp.js to conditionally include rsaaeskey and aesiv in the ANNOUNCE request based on an additional option for the airtunes.add method. And I can now send audio to the apple tv by using { encrypted: false }.

I'd be happy to integrate my changes into the main branch if you're interested.

Hey, thanks for testing this. I'd be happy to merge any changes you make.
