rPlay support?

[Smultie]

I already tried that.
First time I followed their instructions

Quote:Instructions:

(1) prepare dependencies, run the following command on Pi

sudo apt-get install libao-dev avahi-utils libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

(2) download, install and run

wget http://www.vmlite.com/rplay/rplay-1.0.0-armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i rplay-1.0.0-armhf.deb

this will install and launch /usr/bin/rplay, and it runs automatically on boot.

(3) manual start and stop

sudo /etc/init.d/rplay start
sudo /etc/init.d/rplay stop

if you want to see the output message, you can run this way:

sudo /user/bin/rplay

Make sure only one instance is running.

(4) THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, enter the license key, without it, AirPlay mirroring won't work

once rplay is running, go to a browser and open this url:

http://<ip-address-of-pi>:7100/admin

or

http://localhost:7100/admin if you use the browser on the same Pi machine.

the username/password is: admin/admin

go down to the last one, enter the license number, click Submit.

You can also perform other admin tasks here.

(5) test regular AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring

rPlay supports AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring. For iphone 4 and iPad 1, you can't do AirPlay mirroring, but you should be still
do AirPlay for Photos/Music/Videos. For iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, iPad 2 and above, you can also do AirPlay mirroring.

on your iOS devices, double click Home button, slide the most left, and choose rPlay as AirPlay device to connect.

for iOS 7, you need to quicly swipe up from the bottom tp bing up AirPlay window, and choose rPlay as AirPlay device to connect.

(6) test Chromecast

you need to install and update youtube-dl on pi, run the following command on Pi to auto update it:

sudo youtube-dl

right now, this is very simple implementation, it only works with YouTube app, either on Android or iOS.
make sure you download the latest YouTube app on your mobile device, then open YouTube app, pick a video to play, on the top right corner,
there will be a square chromecast button, tap it, and choose rPlay to connect.

the video should play on Pi, it won't be able to control with this version, we will improve it.

Thanks,

Some parts worked, but most didn't. Airplay via beamer.app for MacOS worked (like it does with a normal XBian installation.).
I saw the Chromecast-icon in Youtube for Android! Unfortunately it didn't work.
I found out I needed some other youtube-dl commands to get it to work.

Quote:for youtube-dl:

sudo apt-get youtube-dl
sudo youtube-dl --update

After that, sound worked via Chromecast, but video didn't.

Apparently there is a new version now, but one of the requirements is a new version of the RPi-firmware:

Quote:(1) update firmware:

sudo apt-get install rpi-update
sudo rpi-update

(2) allocate more memory to GPU

sudo raspi-config

then select memory_split, change the value to 256 if you have a Model B device, or 128 if you have Model A device.

(3) prepare dependencies, run the following command on Pi

sudo apt-get install libao-dev avahi-utils libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libva-dev

(4) download, install and run

wget http://www.vmlite.com/rplay/rplay-1.0.0-armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i rplay-1.0.0-armhf.deb

this will install and launch /usr/bin/rplay, and it runs automatically on boot.

After step 1, the Pi needed to reboot, and Xbian wouldn't boot anylonger. SSH didn't work also, so I really dunno what happened there. Maybe XBian is not working with the latest RPi-firmware?

Btw, if you send an e-mail to info@vmlite.com you can request your own license key!
