Experimental

Very quick python implementation of AP2 protocol using minimal multi-room features. For now it implements:

  • HomeKit transient pairing (SRP/Curve25519/ChaCha20-Poly1305)
  • FairPlay (v3) authentication
  • Receiving of both REALTIME and BUFFERED Airplay2 audio streams
  • Airplay2 Service publication
  • Decoding of ALAC/44100/2 or AAC/44100/2

For now it does not implement:

  • MFi Authentication / FairPlay v2 (one of them is required by iTunes/Windows)
  • Audio Sync

This code is experimental. This receiver do not expect to be a real receiver but a toolbox for learning/debugging all airplay protocols and related pairing/authentication methods.

Latest additions:

  • Implement RTP buffer (manage FLUSHBUFFERED) : play/pause/timeline/playlist

Next steps:

  • PTP (Precision Time Protocol)
  • Remove all os specific code (Soft Volume management)
  • Sender (branch-sender) - Implementation
  • Implement RSA Authentication
  • Raspbian package
  • DACP/(+MRP?) Support
  • FairPlay v2 Support

Raspberry Pi 4

Install docker and then build the image:

docker build -f docker/Dockerfile -t invano/ap2-receiver .

To run the receiver:

docker run -it --rm --device /dev/snd --net host invano/ap2-receiver

Default network device is wlan0, you can change this with AP2IFACE env variable:

docker run -it --rm --device /dev/snd --env AP2IFACE=eth0 --net host invano/ap2-receiver

macOS Catalina

To run the receiver please use Python 3 and do the following:

  • Run the following commands
brew install python3
brew install portaudio
virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3 proto
source proto/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/include" --global-option="-L/usr/local/Cellar/portaudio/19.6.0/lib" pyaudio


python ap2-receiver.py -m myap2 --netiface=en0

Windows

To run the receiver please use Python 3 and do the following:

  • Run the following commands
cd [WHERE_YOU_CLONED_AIRPLAY2_RECEIVER]
virtualenv airplay2-receiver
cd airplay2-receiver
.\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

python ap2-receiver.py -m myap2 -n [YOUR_INTERFACE_GUID] (looks like this for instance {02681AC0-AD52-4E15-9BD6-8C6A08C4F836} )
  • the AirPlay 2 receiver is announced as myap2.

Tested on Python 3.7.5 / macOS 10.15.2 with iPhone X 13.3 and Raspberry Pi 4
