Hi,
I've been pretty close to simply apply your approach. In the end, I
didn't need to by using a plugin and want to share the process so anyone
is able to do so. At least with comparable environments, this should
work.
Environment:
- Server: Intel NUC, Core i3, 4 GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro x64, connected
via LAN
- Logitech Media Server (LMS): 7.7.6 - 1479375548
- OS: Windows 10
- Players: SB Touch, SB Radio, both connected via LAN
I did the following:
- Started with this post:

- Updated Logitech Media Server (LMS) to 7.7.6:
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.7
- Restart
- Opened Logitech Media Server (LMS), Settings, Plugins, scroll to the
bottom: Additional Repositories. Post the URL
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lms-plugins-philippe44/repo-sf.xml
and click OK on the lower right corner. Install Plugin
- LMS restart
- Opened Logitech Media Server (LMS), Settings, Plugins, make sure the
"ShairTunes2 (fork) (v0.35.3)" is selected
- Windows Control Panel\Windows Firewall\, Advance Settings, Add a new
incoming rule: Allow the program
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\ShairTunes2W\Bin\shairport_helper-win.exe
- Checked with iTunes on the Notebook connected via WLAN, that worked
right away: iTunes connects via Airplay (top bar, the button between
volume and currently playing title) just fine and plays.
- iPhone 5s and 6 seemed to not even see the Players, but that was my
fault: To see airplay *audio* devices on iOS 10.x, you have to swipe
the popup screen to the left. On iOS 10.x, the airplay devices you see
on the default popup screen are the video devices
- Finally, adjust the playback volume on phone, Squeezebox and
Amplifier and it worked.
For me, both devices are on a pretty fast WLAN connetion and the sound
is very good now. Whether you need a quick WLAN I don't know, but at
least with it and decent amps/speakers the result is fine.
You can run devices simultaneously, so having both players in use by two
iPhones playing different songs works perfectly, even with Cover-Image,
Title etc., I guess you can run both on the same source as well.
Take the time and try it. The best of luck for you,
rawaho
P.S.: In case you don't see the players at all, try to disable the
Firewall completely for a test. Then you'll get at least an impression
whether it's the firewall, but keep in mind to enable it again.
