AirPlay.V2.GroupSession (AirPlay v0.5.1)

Copy Markdown View Source

Persistent AirPlay 2 multi-room group session.

The group analogue of AirPlay.V2.Session: it pairs + sets up every receiver, starts one BMCA-yield PTP clock on the primary, sends SETPEERS, and then keeps that whole arrangement warm across tracks. Each play/3 flushes (continuing the shared RTP timeline) and streams one decode to every receiver, encrypting each packet with that receiver's stream key.

Same owner-notification contract as AirPlay.V2.Session:

  • {AirPlay.V2.GroupSession, :ended, play_gen} — current track finished
  • {AirPlay.V2.GroupSession, :error, play_gen, reason} — a track failed to start
