Thanks Raphael,

Not to steal this thread or anything, but I've spent soooo much much time trying to figure this out as well. The closest I've come to a STABLE solution is Twonky's ability to stream music that's stored on my phone to my WDTV Live (DLNA), but that's not what I want. I've practically given up on this, so if any one out there knows anything, please help!!!

Check out ArkMC, it's DLNA certified client, can subscribe to YouTube channels, stream YouTube content to DLNA/UPnP devices, and has feature ""Send to external player" - allows to share current playback to other renderers.

Before I switch to android, I was using an iPhone. and today, the only feature I really miss is airplay. I can't understand why google didn't yet implement a system wide streaming service.
[General Questions and Answers] noddymini:
AH HA!

after hours of searching I find I'm not the only one searching for this!!!

I too would love to have this function, I currently use the Last.fm app on my phone but would love to sream it to my upnp/dlna hifi, I used to use the xbmc last.fm addon but since last.fm made changes to their api it no longer works :(

Still, I will keep searching and if I find a way I'll let you know, it seems such a simple idea, surely a missing link.

In the mean time you CAN share Soundcloud with a dlna device from your android, using skifta, its a bit limited but does work well..... no if only they would add a last.fm channel.

Cheers for listening

Too bad.

With Taglists broken, there is no more solution to stream spotify / Soundcloud to Airplay !

I have found a thread on Android Support Forum :

(Since I cannot post URLs due to stupid anti-spam rules, please update the link above)

Please comment / add your voice to make it change.

Or should we ask to XDa developpers to work on this feature for alternatives firmwares ?
[General Questions and Answers] cébé:
I switched from Ipad2 to Nexus10 and I lost 50% of my tablet use! No (good, neither average) app for making music and no airplay. I tried everything but it's clearly impossible to stream audio output on android.

Google does nothing to support airplay and developers say that this is currently impossible because of Android software limitations. Pathetic.

There is only Cyanogen which can save us one day :)

[General Questions and Answers] joshuata:
One solution that would work is to implement the pulse audio system into android. Pulse naively allows transparent network streaming, and it would even be possible to set application specific rules for streaming. If this could be combined with an automation app such as tasker, it would be possible to set the playback target based on active app, location, etc...

The link below directs to the blog of Arun Raghavan who had already ported pulse audio to the Galaxy Nexus. Perhaps if enough people requested this feature in a ROM such as Cyanogenmod, support would be expanded.

[General Questions and Answers] Jackie78:
Hi,

has anybody ever requested this to Google? I wonder why they don't implement it.

In the meanwhile, which app works best for streaming music using XBMC for Android to DLNA receivers? I can set XBMC as a UPNP server, but I have to use my receiver to control it, but instead, I want to use XBMC on my Android tablet to select songs actually. Why is this not possible?
[General Questions and Answers] schubi82:
Try BubbleUPNP for streaming music to/from any DLNA device! For Videos/Youtube I prefer iMediaShare.
[General Questions and Answers] Haldi4803:
Because of copyright issues ? What else... -.- Just imagine playing all your DMR secured songs over Wifi!

IMHO BubbleUpnp + Semper video Links does kinda fine for Youtube.

i think the XBMC android app is bugged whats DLNA, cant stream to/from my smartphone running 12.1 or 13 apk
[General Questions and Answers] ergosteur:
Been looking for this too... I'd be happy with an app that allows you to just pick your source and stream it to AirPlay/AirPort Express or a UPnP device. I often use TuneIn radio on iOS to stream internet radio to my Yamaha receiver or AirPort.

Closest I've found is Honey Player, it has streaming radio and AirPlay, but I can't find the stations I want to listen to in the list they have.
[General Questions and Answers] c-stam:
Bubble UPNP has the ability to play your Google Play Music files from the cloud to a DLNA device, like a PS3, Xbox, or any DLNA client. Very handy for showing off to your friends when they brag about their airplay:

I'we been looking for this fot months!

With a raspberryPI or a airport lying around that fits perfect as a reciever I want my android to stream direct to that over wifi when I get home through the door.

In my opinion UPnP is not an option as Spotify is the thing that is interesting for me.

Can I use wifi just like BT to sent sound to other devices on same network ?

RE: Can I use wifi just like BT to sent sound to other devices on same network ?

I have a Mini PC that does not have a blue tooth built in and it also does not have any form of audio out connection to external sound system.

Buying a HDMI sound splitter to get an audio connection out would be costly.

Since I already have a android mobile phone. And my MINI PC is also running on android.

I want to make use of wifi to send movie sounds to my handphone and I use a 3.5mm audio plug to connect it to my home amplifier.

can someone advise me how this can be done via wifi ?

Both device sharing same wifi network :)

Please advise if its possibl;e if it is , how to ?

many Thanks to all of you out there :)

I heard about DLNA and UPNP thing but i don't quite understand how to utilise them.

BUT I know my Mini PC and my mobile phone is DLNA compliant. :)

AirAudio

Have a look at "AirAudio" on the play-market.

It can stream every audio of your Android via AirPlay.

It seems to be more stable and looks much more better than AOA.

You can also test it for free.
[General Questions and Answers] Pjuuti:
I tested AirAudio before AOA and it is better looking but it isn't working on my S3 or Acer Iconia tablet.

But every phone/tablet is different and usually on different rom or kernel so everyone chooses what's working for them.

Good thing you brought up the alternative :good:. Both are free to test. AOA has 15min refund option.

AirAudio caused bootloop on my S3 if I add audio-extension, so I had to factoryreset and install rom again. AOA won't change anything permanetly so it's safer I think.
[General Questions and Answers] jaydee 77:
AirAudio isnt working with my S3 also. I'll try Airplay on Android AOA Service.

Unified Remote

I currently use Unified Remote do this in order to play from Spotify on my Android Galaxy Note 2 to my HiFi:

I have a PC wirelessly connected to my network running the Spoify client and the Unified Remote Server application

The PC is then connected to my amp and speakers.

I then run the Unified Remote app on my Note.

You then use the Spotify Remote in Unified Remote to control the Spotify application on your PC. You can play your playlists, search for artists, albums and tracks.

Not perfect as you cant directly use the Spotify app but it works really well. The sound quality is top notch especially using an optical out. I have a small headless acer nettop sitting on top of my amp. When I want to use it I just turn the nettop and the amp, wait a few seconds then I'm in business. When I've finished listening I stop the track on my Note and turn off the amp. The nettop goes to sleep after 10 mins ready to start up quickly the next time I want to use it.

Unified Remote is on the play store. You can get the server app from the website: unifiedremote.com

I admit, Airplay would still be better!
[General Questions and Answers] GOBluth:
Hi,

I have a marantz mcr603 stereo that has airplay and is dnla enabled i can stream music from my nexus 7 to it by bubble unpn and other apps but i cant send any music from the google music app that has 30gb of music stored in the cloud. The only music i can sent is tracks saved on the N7.

Does anyone know if AirAudio or Airplay on Android will let me send music from the google music app that isnt stored locally on the device to the stereo.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] sirs2k:
I'm really tempted to try AirAudio but I'm afraid of the bootloops. It's even mentioned on the app description in play store.

The solution would be to either factory reset or to ADB shell

I have an S3 I9300.

Will it be supported now after the recent update (21 of May)? Doesn't say which devices are supported which is rather stupid
[General Questions and Answers] jaydee 77:
AirAudio works with the S3 since Version 1.1.0. I did not have any bootloops. I did not buy the full version (in app buy, so no refund), sound quality was a bit lousy. It should be better in full version, which costs 5€ (5$?).
[General Questions and Answers] elpy909:
Yes, that's possible. In fact it's the goal of those apps.
[General Questions and Answers] uffjohn:
I have tested AirAudio on my S3 running Android Revolution HD (rooted). Can stream audio to my Apple TV with very little delay :)

The free version has some kind of regular volume distortion every few seconds, however upgrading to the pro version removed this, the sound is now very good with no noticeable loss of fidelity.

In conclusion, I think I have found a keeper! Now I just need a display mirroring solution that works :)
[General Questions and Answers] schubi82:
As far as I know it isn't, because DLNA is not supported until now!
[General Questions and Answers] jaydee 77:
Sure it can. The receiver needs airplay at the moment because DLNA support come later (maybe). If your receiver supports airplay AirAudio streams almost all audio output from any app on your handheld.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

Also testet AirAudio on my Note 10.1 (Android 4.1.2) it also works, on my S2 (Android 4.0.3) it doesn't work. The system audio extension wont install.

I consider to buy the app.
[General Questions and Answers] funtax:
Hello sirs2k,

it's impossible to says which devices are working and which one not.

There are more than 2.800 different Android-models on the market and several hundred custom roms they can run with.

It's a very very hard job to get the audio out off an android-device and in general it's impossible.

AirAudio delivers a custom audio-driver and sometimes that driver is incompatible with an S3 CM10.1 but runs on an S3 with stock ROM.

Also the difference between europe/asian/american devices is not trivial.

Because of all those variables, AirAudio has to do a realtime-compatibility-check at the moment the user tries to active the "system-audio"-mode.

In the very very rare case that compatibility-check crashes (some devices are a bit too sensible), it can happen that the device hangs on booting (which can be solved via ADB).

AirAudio version 2.0 is at the beginning of development and should have a new way of getting the system-audio, without the risk of crashing the device and a very wider range of supported devices.

Yours sincerely,

Martin
[General Questions and Answers] sirs2k:
Hi Martin,

Appreciate your explanation. I take it you're the or one of the developers of AirAudio.

I do apologize for saying the word stupid, it is perhaps too harsh. What I was trying to explain is that there is too much of a risk for me to try a new app which gets some phones into bootloops and the only way to get out of that is by ADB.

I have never used ADB and don't think I'll ever understand it.

So I hope you understand that there is a lot at risk for the average joe trying to try your app.

I've seen many apps mentioning the most common supported phones at the end of their descriptions or on their website. However, sorry if I offended you.

Meanwhile, I have a question.

I stream everything to my PC which is connected to everything in my home theatre, which PC software would you recommend that would best receive the audio from my phone using AirAudio?

Edit:

Nevermind, I tried it with Shairport4w and it's working great, however it disconnected after about 4 minutes, have you put an auto cutoff because its a demo?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] jaydee 77:
Try XBMC.

http://xbmc.org/
[General Questions and Answers] funtax:
Hey sirs2k,

my absolutly favorite is "Airfoil Speakers" because it implements the Airplay-protocol perfectly.

EVERY other software-receiver (doesn't matter if for Android, PC or Mac) is a child of the so called "Shairport"-project and those are not well implemented.

So it normally does not matter if you use Shairport4w or XBMC and so on.

Kind regards & thanks for your feedback,

Martin
[General Questions and Answers] sirs2k:
Hey Martin, I'm trying airfoil now. At first, AirAudio wasn't detecting Airfoil speakers running on PC, then somehow it was detecting it but unfortunately every time I connect to it from AirAudio it crashes the speaker interface on my PC...

Very weird.

Edit, again, nevermind mate, re-installed it it it's working fine now :)

A few more tests and probably buying.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] funtax:
That your speaker-interface is crashing due to Airfoil is unknown to me, maybe you find some informations about that at the Airfoil website.

The problem with the not detected Airfoil speakers is this:

The Airplay-technology (also your wireless printers etc.) uses a service namend "Bonjour" (aka mdnsresponder, dnssd, avahi).

A hardware airport-express from Apple is implementing that service correctly and you will always find it in your network when it's connected.

Many software-imlementations like Shairport4w, Airfoil etc. fall into something like a "sleep-mode" after some time and forget to yell "hey, I'm here".

You might just restart Airfoil or simply rename the Airfoil speakers (and click the x in the settings-dialog) so they publish themself again.

The funny thing: If you are e.g. using shairport4w AND airfoil-speakers, both are in sleep-mode after some time and both are then again visible if you change the name of just 1 application - so it also might be a windows thing.

Cheers & kind regards,

Martin

[General Questions and Answers] miljbee:
Hello martin,

I just found airaudio by reading this thread.

Congratulation for making it ! For me this is THE feature that android was missing, and I am pretty sure you will get nice reviews for that.

I haven't tried it, yet (but I will as soon as I am back home)

I have 2 suggestions :

1 - AirPlay might seem great, But I don't think you should focus on it. There are probably other more open ways to stream audio, like UPNP. You will have more success if your app can stream the audio to any upnp capable receiver.

2 - Release a tasker plugin ! I am a huge fan of tasker, and It would be awesome if tasker could activate the streaming and also be aware of the streaming status (enable/disabled/playing, paused, ...)

Once again, congratulation for this great app.
