[ANSWERED]iTunes on multiple machines with Airplay

[pgershon]

Somewhat complex situation. My Indigo system recognizes iTunes running on several networked Mac's (mine, my wife's, family server) and I have the iTunes Plugin creating three devices. I also have a single Airplay Speaker (Airport Express) that I want to be able to direct ONE of the iTunes devices to play to. AirFoil I believe, can only do this for the iTunes running on the Mac that host Indigo Server. Is there a way to change the Airplay speakers from the iTunes Plugin? Alternatively, is there another way to do this (perhaps get AirFoil to recognize a remote iTunes)?

Is there a way to change the Airplay speakers from the iTunes Plugin?

No - the DACP protocol (at least the last time we looked at the reverse engineered docs) doesn't support it.

Alternatively, is there another way to do this (perhaps get AirFoil to recognize a remote iTunes)?

You can set them in AppleScript. Airfoil only works with local sources.
