AirPlay 2 plugin

[Art20]

Evening,

I’m new to Innuos and I’ve just purchased a used Zen MK3 which I should hopefully receive within the next few days.

Just wondered is Airplay 2 available as a plugin?

Also are the connect features Spotify and Qobuz available on the Zen MK3?

Thanks

Hi @Art20 , I hope you will be very pleased with the ZEN!
Yes, Qobuz Connect is supported as is Spotify Connect, though not currently with Lossless support.
As for Airplay 2, we are currently working on the official integration of that which should be not too far from being ready via software update.
As for the LMS plugin, there is an Airplay plugin but my understanding is that it still uses AirPlay1:

Hi We have a few Airplay 2 speakers and I would like to integrate some Squeezebox Radios into the setup, so we can have multiroom audio. Shairtunes works but it is airplay 1 only. Is there a plugin or an update that enables Airplay 2?

Thanks for replying.
Will Spotify Lossless support be on the roadmap?
Cheers

Technically we do not have official Spotify Connect support although we have repeatedly requested it. Our Connect integration is a strong workaround and has proven to be very reliable since it was introduced with 3.3.0.

Lossless support is being investigated. However it is not a simple change and to my knowledge would require a complete reimplementation.
