You may have noticed when using the Netflix app that the app is able to grab details about your Apple TV and notify you when things are out of date. Finding information on how to grab details of connected AirPlay devices can be difficult to find.
Here’s an example called RouteTest from Grant that shows how to grab details about a connected Airplay device.
You can find RouteTest on Github here.
You can read more details about the Airplay protocol spec as written by Clément Vasseur here.
Clément also has a couple of interesting example projects demonstrating how to use an iOS device to play AirPlay video and AirPlay audio.
