Fake-AirPlay

This crate creates a fake AirPlay service, which will be discoverable by apple devices on the network.

Usage

❗ To use fake-airplay make sure you have the avahi daemon running ❗

Ubuntu

To start the avahi daemon on Ubuntu, you can install the avahi-daemon package using the following command:

sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon

Once installed, you can start the daemon by running:

sudo systemctl start avahi-daemon.service

After starting the avahi daemon, you can run fake-airplay by installing it using cargo:

cargo install fake-airplay

Once installed, you can run the fake-airplay command with the following syntax:

fake-airplay -a <NAME> -d <DEVICE_TYPE>

Replace <NAME> with the name you want the fake device to show and replace <DEVICE_TYPE> with the devicetype you want to show.

Arch

To start the avahi daemon install the nss-mdns using

sudo pacman -S nns-mdns

and run:

systemctl start avahi-daemon.service

After starting the avahi daemon, you can install fake-airplay by running:

cargo install fake-airplay

Once installed, you can run the fake-airplay command with the following syntax:

fake-airplay <NAME> [<DEVICE_TYPE>]

Replace <NAME> with the name you want the fake device to show and replace <DEVICE_TYPE> with the devicetype you want to show.

fake-airplay's Issues

Code panics

The code panics at fake-airplay-0.1.1/src/lib.rs:60:23
let ev_loop = service.register().unwrap();

My code:

use fake_airplay::{create_service, DeviceType};

fn main() {
    let name = "Ass".to_string();
    let device_type = DeviceType::AppleTV;

    let handle = create_service(name, device_type);

    // Wait for the service thread to finish
    handle.join().unwrap();
