I am extremely confused.

I came across this while wanting to have my Chromecast have airplay support. I have no experience in programming and would like to set this up on a Windows computer. Could you please extremely dumb this down for people like me?

Start by downloading the following files from https://github.com/philippe44/AirConnect/tree/master/bin :

aircast-win.exe
cc32160mt.dll
libeay32.dll
pthreadBC2.dll
ssleay32.dll

Then run the aircast-win.exe file. This should establish a basic, working AirPlay to AirCast bridge for your Chromecast devices.

Assuming you get this far, you can then think about how to run it as a self-starting service in the background.

Download NSSM on Windows and set it as a service. Make sure you place the AirConnect folder with the files needed in a location that will stay there (maybe not your Desktop folder :P)

Extract NSSM to a location ex. C:\ Open powershell or cmd type in nssm.exe install Via the wizard select where aircast-win.exe is located Once the service is created, you should see it in services.msc, right click and Start Service
