Airplay on android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I really thought that Android already had a feature or app which can do Spotify streaming easily. I am really amazed that there is only one decent app (AirAudio) for Android supporting Airplay devices. AND the app needs a rooted device!
I am just simply looking a solution where I can stream wirelessly Spotify audio from my Android device to my Pioneer VSX-922 amplifier.

Is it possible to stream audio from phone to network?

Hi!
As the title says, i wondered if Android allows you to stream audio from the device to the network? Specifically for Airfoil, is it possible to play music from spotify (etc.) from the phone, on my other airfoil units?
I contacted the developer, and he was unsure wether this was possible with the current APIs or not, i would sure be willing to pay for such a program at least
Such a program exist for iOS already: http://itunes.apple.com/app/reemote-for-airfoil/id396381723?mt=8
Thanks!
Will this thread be of any help:

That seems to be the opposite way of what i am interested in. Have found that my DoubleTwist media player supports streaming to my Mac Mini running XBMC, so i dont see why this wouldnt work for Spotify/wimp instead.
An app that "hijacks" the audio source, and sends it via WiFi to Airplay/Airfoil/DLNA supported devices would be what i am looking for i guess.

This is something i really want too, what Apple has done with their Airplay is something that would be awesome to have in our Android devices.
agreed, need to audio-hijack all system sound to send to airplay. want to be able to sent pandora, etc controlled from my phone to an airplay receiver.
There is some development going on towards this. I use Shairport on an old phone to act as an Airport express :

The Airports keys were 'Cracked ' so there will be something eventually.

I bought winamp for android.
It will be nice if this development can be as you mention.
Hope I dont have to buy doubleTwist since I like Winamp.

[Q] Androids counterpart for Airplay

Hi all.
I recently found airplay (and hairplay) for my mums mac air and are running hairplay on a raspberry PI for her. I do really miss this feature on my android, I want to get home from work and immediately be able to stream my Spotify music to my miniMAC HTPC connected to all speakers at home.
How can I stream my music from my handset to my home speakers through the wifi network? Please help me with suggestions!
I got a rooted ZTE Blade now with CM7.
Im waiting for my Nexus 4 and will flash CyanogenMod on it really soon so Root access is possible if it involves that.
No answer I figured. There are loads of similar threads.
And the usual answer is use UPnP.
The reason I don't want to use that / can't use that is I'm Streaming all my music from Spotify, there for the reason I want a AirPlay couterpart.
I want to capture all sounds from my android device and sent it to a couple of speakers through a receiver and maybe a computer what ever solution you suggest and know about. Thanks!

[Q] Streaming Google Play Cloud Music to a DLNA Device

Hi,
I have an HTC One running Android 4.1.2 and I want to listen to Google Play over my Yamaha DLNA receiver.
I've already tried some apps, and BubbleUPnP promises to have this feature, but it just won't play songs from the cloud.
Is there any chance to install a system-wide service that routes all the sounds of the device to the DLNA receiver? On an iPhone that works via AirPlay, there must be something like that for Android too, right?
Thanks for any help,
Kalle

in BubbleUPNP, did you try playing a track to your Yamaha receiver after enabling Settings > Local Media Server > Use proxy ?

Yes I tried that, but it did not help.
I really don't want to be cocky, but I thought the advantage of Android was its openness, and that you could tinker with anything. And now it's not possible to stream audio to a DNLA receiver?

It is possible to stream audio but it is not possible to *capture* audio from other apps. Not unless you hack the kernel and audio drivers. Good luck with that.

Btw it would be interesting if you provided me a log file streaming Google Music to your Yamaha receiver (with proxy enabled) so I can see why it fails (see first post of this topic for instructions for logging)

Mmh, that is odd. That feature works with bluetooth, why can't it work with WLAN and DLNA? Apple has been doing this for 8 years now (AirPlay)...

[Q] 4.2.2 Audio-Streaming Options (Miracast/DLNA/Airplay)

Hi all,
Currently i am wondering what options i have to stream audio from my android phone to my PC?
being a previous iPhone-owner, i just got my HTC One mini (4.2.2).
I have a Airplay-Reciever-Software installed on my PC, so i was able to stream any audio from my iPhone to my PC - native.
Actually, i dont want to install any app on my phone, as i dont want to be limited to a specific app for my music or video.
Native steaming seems to be possible with MIracast and DLNA....
I was reading through many articles about DLNA and Miracast - none being really helpfull. I couldnt find any PC-Reciever-Software for Miracast, and DLNA seems to work entirely different.
Also, making my android stream to Airplay doesnt seem to work without root AND a specific app - not really an option either.
You guys have any idea?
Thanks
Lennart
for anyone with the same issue:
DLNA can work this way: Streaming audio from my phone to a DLNA player (WMP on win7).
Also, chromecast can be an option (for google-apps).
Cheers!

[Q] DLNA/UPnP

Hi there, i recently switched to android (HTC One) ive rooted it, tried cyan, but went back to sense. Anyway, ive also ordered a Nexus Q - mostly cuz it looks gr8 - i have apple TV and i use it with an app on my One where i stream from spotify to my appleTV and to my stereo. When i get my Nexus Q i plan to get CyanogenMod on it, and a airplay server, so i switch out the appleTV.
BUT my dream would be to get a android app on my Nexus Q so i can stream everything from my HTC One to my Nexus Q with DLNA/UPnP,cuz thats possible right? DLNA/UPnP works like AirPlay? Is this possible?
u want to stream media content from device to device? why does it make sense?:laugh:
I want to stream the system audio, like spotify, just like airplay, screenmirroring would be nice, my question is: do i need a seperate device, like netgear push2tv, or is there a app that does the same thing like an android client
