Unfortunately that will not work well because there will be no timing
syncrhonization between your video on your PC and what's being played
through LMS. AirPlay protocol of course provides fine timing control,
but when it goes through ShairPortW, it becomes an asynchronous data
stream for LMS, all timing info is lost. Even changing totally the
architecture of ShairTunes2 would not work because here you would have 2
masters fighting to control timing: LMS and the AirPlay controller -
there might be ways around that but there would be incredibly
complicated. When I did the AirPlay to LMS bridge, sync was not easy and
LMS was the only master, so here is an even more complex problem.
LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2. Sonos 2xPLAY:1,
PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, JBL OnBeat, XBMC, Foobar2000, XBoxOne,
JRiver 21, Chromecast Audio, Chromecast v1, Pi B2, Pi B+, 2xPi A+,
Odroid-C1, Cubie2
