Det var spennende!
With AirPlay, users will be able to easily and quickly stream content to devices like receivers, stereos and televisions. It will allow users to play content, such as movies, photos or music, on an external device.
Samtidig vet vi at Sonos nå snarlig lanserer muligheten for streaming av Spotify, enten via Sonos' egen håndkontroller eller via Sonos'/Spotify applikasjon på iPHONE (muligens også Android telefoner)

Kikk litt ned i linken, på beskrivelsen av de 11 patentene.
Av en eller annen grunn dukker det noen stikkord opp i hodet mitt. Proprietært. Lukket. iTunes. Begrenset formatstøtte.
Mulig det er jeg som misforstår konseptet her, men jeg får også følelsen av at ikke alt er banebrytende nytt.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols for primarily residential networks without expert administrators that permits networked devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet gateways, WiFi access points, mobile device, to seamlessly discover each others presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment. The UPnP technology is promulgated by the UPnP Forum.
The concept of UPnP is an extension of plug-and-play, a technology for dynamically attaching devices directly to a computer, although UPnP is not directly related to the earlier plug-and-play technology. UPnP devices are "plug-and-play" in that when connected to a network they automatically established working configurations with other devices.

Mobile Handheld Devices
The specification uses DTCP/IP as "link protection" for copyright-protected commercial content between one device to another.
There are many products on the market that are DLNA Certified. The DLNA Certified logo can be found on all kinds of digital devices including TVs, PCs, mobile phones, etc

UPnP AV komponenter
- UPnP MediaServer DCP - which is the UPnP-server (a 'master' device) that provides media library information and streams media-data (like audio/video/picture/files) to UPnP-clients on the network.
- UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint - which is the UPnP-client (a 'slave' device) that can auto-detect UPnP-servers on the network to browse and stream media/data-files from them.
- UPnP MediaRenderer DCP - which is a 'slave' device that can render (play) content.
- UPnP RenderingControl DCP - control MediaRenderer settings; volume, brightness, RGB, sharpness, and more).
- UPnP Remote User Interface (RUI) client/server - which sends/receives control-commands between the UPnP-client and UPnP-server over network, (like record, schedule, play, pause, stop, etc.).
- Web4CE (CEA 2014) for UPnP Remote UI[10] - CEA-2014 standard designed by Consumer Electronics Association's R7 Home Network Committee. Web-based Protocol and Framework for Remote User Interface on UPnP Networks and the Internet (Web4CE). This standard allows a UPnP-capable home network device to provide its interface (display and control options) as a web page to display on any other device connected to the home network. That means that you can control a home networking device through any web-browser-based communications method for CE devices on a UPnP home network using ethernet and a special version of HTML called CE-HTML.
- QoS (Quality of Service) - is an important (but not mandatory) service function for use with UPnP AV (Audio and Video). QoS (Quality of Service) refers to control mechanisms that can provide different priority to different users or data flows, or guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow in accordance with requests from the application program. Since UPnP AV is mostly to deliver streaming media that is often near real-time or real-time audio/video data which it is critical to be delivered within a specific time or the stream is interrupted. QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees are especially important if the network capacity is limited, for example public networks, like the internet. QoS (Quality of Service) for UPnP consist of Sink Device (client-side/front-end) and Source Device (server-side/back-end) service functions. With classes such as; Traffic Class that indicates the kind of traffic in the traffic stream, (for example, audio or video). Traffic Identifier (TID) which identifies data packets as belonging to a unique traffic stream. Traffic Specification (TSPEC) which contains a set of parameters that define the characteristics of the traffic stream, (for example operating requirement and scheduling). Traffic Stream (TS) which is a unidirectional flow of data that originates at a source device and terminates at one or more sink device(s).

Det er click&play, og krever liten konfigurering fra brukers side - automatisk oppleting av kilder, organisering av samme - multibruker kontroll av kildeavspillere, osv.HåkonN skrev:
Ulik hardware chippes for å komme på nett, og kan styres fra et håndholdt panel, som i Sooloos-eksempelet.
Alt med null forutsetninger for inngående kjennskap til data. Plug&Play.
Og det er hva jeg mener med "it's easy." Sammenlignet med annet som er "der ute" og som et fåtall datakyndige kan sette opp rett, men som ellers krever hjemmebesøk og feilsøking før det fungerer.
OK. Jeg forstod bare ikke sammenhengen når jeg så Meridian sin proprietære software på en tablet som tilfeldigvis kommer fra Apple.vredensgnag skrev:
Sonos holdt på med "click&play" flere år før iPhone var en realitet. Ikke skjønner jeg at konseptet er noe mer banebrytende enn det UPnP og DLNA var i sin tid. Nå sier disse patentene lite om hvordan resultatet blir, men jeg har mer tro på at dette blir en evolusjon for de som allerede har en del Apple produkter hjemme...
Etter å ha hatt iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch og iTunes en stund, så begynner jeg å se en rød tråd i Apples tanker om fremtiden. Selv om Apple er en mester på GUI, er jeg ikke sikker på om jeg ønsker å bli så avhengig av deres lukkede system i hjemmet. For dette blir neppe opensource.

Har en hvis forståelse for deres skepsis, men mye er basert på endel usannheter og rykter. Vi skjønner jo alle at Apple har store interesser i å selge innholdet de tilbyr og vil beskytte dette økosystemet med klør og nebb (det hadde jeg også gjort)HåkonN skrev:
Men de som går så langt til å si at Apple prøver å stue alle brukerene sine opp i et hjørne stemmer ikke med mine erfaringer som Apple bruker. Har vært flere ganger på utviklerkonferansen WWDC i San Fransisco pga jobben min og utviklerene til Apple er fin gjeng som er svært glad i Open Source prosjekter, men samtidig er de et typisk «Coporate American» firma, som i bunn og grunn vil tjene penger
I hvertfall fra ledelsen sin perspektiv.Hvem hadde forresten trodd at VLC player skulle komme på iPad? Det ble offisielt lansert i dag og støtter et hav av formater

Airplay er forresten ikke Apple Teknologi, men på lisens fra disse: http://www.bridgeco.com/apple-airplay/
Faktisk ga Apple Bridgeco tilgang til iTunes kildekoden for å implementere denne teknologien. Spennende saker
