iOS9: unable to discover airplay devices created by airsonos

[SteffenCL]

With the current beta of iOS9 the airplay devices created by airsonos are not discoverable from iOS9 devices. Airsonos is running on my synology NAS.

From my iPad, which is still running iOS8, the airplay devices are discoverable.

As iOS9 is not yet released for public use this might be fixed with later builds. But wanted to let you know about it anyway.

Kind regards,
Steffen

I can confirm the the devices aren't found in iOS9. In addition they are not found in OS X El Capitan in the general output settings either. They are found in iTunes in El Capitan, but can't be used due to an error 1500 (airtunes and iTunes codecs can't be used e.g. apple lossless).

I can also confirm, on iOS 9 beta1 the airplay devices aren´t found.

[alijnclarke]

+1, neither iOS 9 or 10.11 work

[rodneyyziek]

Issue remains in beta 2 (both iOS and OS X)

[jonarribasmateo]

+1

Issue remains in beta 3 on iOS 9.

I do see my Apple TV available on my iOS 9 beta 3 device, though. So, other Airplay devices will show up.

Same problem over here with iOS 9 beta 3. I can confirm that it still works on iOS 8.4

[messerram]

I confirm iOS 9 public Beta don't see any Speakers from airsonos. But the Mac Software SonoAir also fails, no Speakers shown up on iOS9 Public beta.

iOS 9, Incompatible Old AirPlay Protocols.

[kschio]

I can confirm this issue as well, would be great if airsonos would be compatible with OS X 10.11.

[pdxsam]

I also can confirm. Not seen on IOS9 beta

[gloos]

Is this going to be fixed? I can't see it on ios 9 beta either.

[messerram]

I think apple has to fix ...

@wcm4u, Apple manufactured devices (Apple TV and others) show up as Airplay devices in the beta. I don't think this is an issue with their Airplay protocol. Obviously, they changed something, but their devices work. So, I doubt a fix will come from them.

[pdxsam]

Sadly, you also can't go back from IOS9. You can reload the backup but IOS9 changes the firmware on the iPad and even if you go back, you can't see Airsonos.

I wonder if it has to do with the warning that comes up when starting Airsonos about Bonjour. Apple must have updated their Bonjour code and it's causing IOS to miss the Airsonos advertisements.

[pdxsam]

Oops update.. you can go back. I just did it incorrect. I still think it might be Bonjour.

[stephen]

Given reports that AirPlay is spotty in both betas, this likely won't be resolved until both are GA.

[hirvonen]

Issue remains in beta 5 on iOS 9.
I think apple has changed the encrypt way of Airplay to strengthen security or something.

[gloos]

I also confirm it still doesn't work in in the latest beta.

[stephen]

Any further information for debugging this issue would be nice. Otherwise, this won't get investigated until iOS 9 hits GA.

• Do other AirPlay (AirPort Express, AppleTV) devices show up?
• Does the bonjour advertisement show up at all according to the iOS device? https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/discovery-bonjour-browser/id305441017?mt=8

[jonarribasmateo]

Do other AirPlay (AirPort Express, AppleTV) devices show up?

@stephen Sure it does, I use air server (www.airserver.com) and it works like a charm.

Does the bonjour advertisement show up at all according to the iOS device?
_raop._tpc. OK (although there is no option as sound output). Not listed in AirPlay.

Hi @stephen, it seems if you include the 'vn=65537' parameter in the mDNS advertisement in Nodetunes, AirSonos appears in iOS9. However the audio feed that is transmitted is ALAC.

[t3chn0m4g3]

Hello @stephen, same problem here, my iOS 8.x devices can discover, my iOS 9 GA devices unfortunately can not. Happy to help and support!

[m47een]

Hello @stephen. Just to confirm after upgrading to iOS 9 GA airsonos doesn't seem to be working. Happy to help with any testing. Thanks

[xonbul]

HI @stephen, I can confirm the problem as well. Can't discover sonos after upgrade to iOS9. Ok with iOS8 devices and Mac OSX 10.10.5

[hansmestrum]

Same here. updated to iOS9 and my sonos speakers are not visible on my iphone. Hope this will be solved soon as arises is great. I also use my old turntable to play vinyl via airsonos to my sonos.
I also read about problems with El Capitan. Hope this will also be solved. I do not want to loose airsonos.

[matthijst]

I'm sure Stephen is aware of the issue by now? Or do you really think he needs 20 more posts from people confirming Airsonos doesn't work on their iOS9 device anymore either?

[MrSimmo]

A larger number of people reporting the problem demonstrates that it is not user error.

[ghost]

Can we please stop with these 'confirm' messages? Looks to me it's an airplay protocol issue, so every user that has upgraded to iOS 9 has this problem.

Right. Would be nice to hear if someone is working on it.

[Easen]

There's two issues here,

1. Missing parameter from the mDNS (see my previous comment).
2. The lack of ALAC support, see Sonos device discovery race condition #1.

[MartinAyla]

I hope it's technically possible to fix AirSonos for iOS 9 - crossing fingers.

[hansmestrum]

yeah and for El Captian later this month. Otherwise I loose all airsonos :-(

[shining01]

i hope too. i love airsonos. i hope you can find the problem and fix it. thanks

[stephen]

Thanks all for the reports. It looks like Apple has dropped support for devices that don't transmit audio via at least ALAC in iOS 9 (and presumably El Capitan).
