I don't use Windows normally and don't use AirPlay/Shairplay/Shairport.

With a new query ( getting Airplay to play on LMS/Windows is not rtmp on
BBCiPlayer)  - it is always best to start a new topic as you'll other
users who may have experience whereas with an old thread you won't get
new info.

With your mplayer efforts I don't think you really understand what you
are trying to do.  You need to consider the source, its format and what
has to be supplied to LMS with the proviso that the Airplay server has
to be live all the time (i.e. cannot be started/stopped by LMS playing
the stream).

I think converting the Airplay PCM stream into a http/mp3 which can then
be played by LMS could be the simplest solution. Windows version of FIFO
are Named Pipes but I don't think they'll do what you are trying.

I suggesting trying the following command in Shairplay4W redirection.  

vlc.exe 

This should produce a MP3 stream which you get LMS to play (i.e. use
Tune-in URL or create a favorite) using this URL
http://ipaddressofshairplayserver:8080/vlcstream.mp3

I suggest you install a process monitor such as MS's ProcessExplorer so
you can check that VLC is started by shairplay4w.

This may not be a long term solution as vlc can be a difficult beast to
run as a subprocess.
