How to stream audio w/o connecting AX as gateway?

Have been struggling with this one for a while – would appreciate any help you might offer.
I have my MAC connected to my university network from my room. The Univ is fairly strict with network things and so will not allow students to run wireless networks (otherwise I'd happily plug in my Airport Express as the internet gateway and connect my Powerbook through that – we have to give our IT dept the MAC address of our computers and we get assigned a fixed IP address).
All I want to do is use the AX to play iTunes audio through my stereo. Is there some sort of "standalone" mode for AX that allows me to use it just as a receiver of the audio stream from iTunes? I keep getting the dreaded blinking amber light since it's looking for a network. Seems like there must be a way...
Thanks in advance
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

"Is there some sort of "standalone" mode for AX that allows me to use it just as a receiver of the audio stream from iTunes?"
Welcome to Discussions, rnorum!
Yes, but that's still setting up a network between your Mac and your Express/stereo connection. Your AirPort Express does have its own MAC address - its AirPort ID. Every wireless device has a MAC address, even non-Macs have one. If the Univ is fairly strict and maintains the integrity of its network, they'll be able to easily discover any network you setup.
If you turn on your AirPort and look in your menu bar's AirPort icon and can see no other networks, then it's safe to assume you shouldn't try this - as others will be able to easily discover it. If instead you can see that everyone else has an iTunes network, then ask around to see if they just did it, or went through the proper procedure.
Assuming that you've already cleared the Express's old profiles by resetting to factory default
[refer to the last section "How to perform a factory default reset" on this page: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044 ]
you should see the Express's default name (Apple Network ____) in your menu bar's AirPort icon. If you've already connected your stereo to the Express with the proper audio cabling, use the utility "AirPort Setup Assistant" to setup that network. It's wise to give the connection its own name rather than to leave it set on the default network name. The Assistant should see your Express's stereo connection, if not, try again, don't continue on and setup a bogus internet connection. If you do that, you'll just have to again reset the Express:)

  • HT4437 How to stream audio from a Safari web site to Airport Express using Airplay?

    I'm able to stream audio from iTunes to my Airport Express using Airplay, but I can't stream audio from SoundCloud.com or any other system audio (not in iTunes) to the Airport Express. It is my understanding that AirFoil can do the trick but I do not want to spend 25$ if there is another way to do it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Good you got it sorted!
    I was wrong about one thing.   Regardless of how I connect (e.g., wifi or Bluetooth), the Airplay icon in an Apple App turns orange when connected to a device, not blue as I mentioned above.  This is probably why you see blue in the Youtube app.
    OK, I am retracting all my posts about the airplay icon and it's color scheme. 
    Seems as if the airplay icon on the music app is orange, but the airplay icon on the podcast app is blue. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to these color schemes or their significance, so I am abandoning all further speculation. 

  • How to stream audio in Windows Phone 8.1?

    I have a Windows Phone Silverlight 8.0 app I want to update to 8.1 using WinRT. It streams audio in the background.  In Silverlight, I used
    BackgroundAudioPlayer to set the Track to a Uri.  It's not clear how to do this with
    MediaPlayer in WinRT.  I don't think I can just use a Uri.  Instead, I wonder if I have to use
    MediaPlayer.SetStreamSource(IRandomAccessStream
    stream).  If so, I don't know how to get an IRandomAccessStream from a
    Uri.  I want to stream from a Uri on the internet over HTTP, not from a local file. Any help?

    Refer following links to stream audio in background in Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime app.
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Background-Audio-in-WinRT-344bcf4d
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/johnkenn/archive/2013/12/31/supporting-background-audio-in-your-windows-8-1-app.aspx
    Thank you for thinking about my problem. I may be mistaken, but I think the above links refer to Windows 8 apps, not Windows
    Phone 8.1 apps. I'm under the impression that background audio is done differently in Windows Phone 8.1 from Windows 8. The
    Background Audio Overview for Windows Phone Store apps explains more. 
    It's a good overview, but does not explain how to play audio from a stream rather than a file.  That's what I'm stuck on.

  • How to stream audio / video in java?

    Hello.
    I would live to develop a java application (JavaEE, with tomcat or JBoss) that could stream audio / video over the Internet, on a controlled matter.
    First, I would have to embed a flash player, correct? Need suggestions on one, paied or free.
    My questions are: How can I have the flash player stream audio to users by downloading it from a java app server, if the user has a session and is logged in, etc? (picture myspace here)
    Also, how do I measure network traffic in Java? (The flash player of each user will stream the songs, I'd like to know how much bandwith is going around).
    The reason that I'm asking this here is because I have no idea of which forum to ask this.
    I have been a Java app developper for the past five years, so coding won't be a problem, I just don't know which API / Frameworks to turn to.
    Thanks for all your help.
    Regard,
    Carlos.

(picture myspace here)The same way you would authenticate any website. Usually a database and a challenge/response. If they're not logged in, then instead of writing out the content, write out a 403 status code (or do something more graceful, such as redirect them to the login page).
    Also, how do I measure network traffic in Java? (The flash player of each user will stream the songs, I'd like to know how much bandwith is going around).Just keep track of how much data you send to the OutputStream.

  • How to  stream audio/video to real Audio Player

    Hello
    I am planning on doing a project on streaming audio/video onto Real Audio Player . I am very new to JMF . I would appreciate some pointers on how to start off. I ahve read the documents but am not able to get started right .
    I wanted to know the following :
    1. Isnt the RTP streaming streaming for live audio or video ? If I want to stream something which I have stored in my local machine then how do i do it - do i need to use RTP ?
    2. I undertsand that if i need to stream the audio/video file I need to convert it to a format the Real Audio Player supports. How do i go about that ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks in advance
    Shailaja

    JMF doesn't have any support for Real media. Real has gone open source with their Helix Community, so maybe you could find some useful information there: http://www.helixcommunity.org

  • [SOLVED] How to stream audio output over wifi?

    Hello,
    I have following problem. I would like to listen to the music from my laptop on my home Onkyo AV receiver (amplifier). Both laptop and receiver are connected on the same network, laptop via wifi, receiver using LAN. Receiver is capable to play internet radio streams in various format - e.g. ogg or mp3.
    My idea is to produce ogg stream on laptop and listen to this stream through amplifier. I was searching for this solution a found something that has always some disadvantage, like MPD + MPC (can play only from database of local files, not from jamendo or other network services), DLNA can play only local files, Icecast + Ices can play from predefined playlist.
    My idea is to have something independent - something what takes audio data normally played on soundcard and feeds it to network stream, something what can work with any player - audio or video, or even with desktop notifications.
    Does anybody here know how to do it?
    Thanks!

    Thank all of you for your hints. Finally I have decided for ALSA based solution that simply works for all applications smoothly in background and it is here when I need it - in other words, it is something that doesn't borther me when I do not need it. I use ALSA loopback with ffmpeg and ffserver for streaming in mp3 format.This is my final solution:
    You need following:
    alsa
    ffmpeg
    if you use KDE4, then you need phonon-gstreamer backend, as in my case phonon-vlc didn't work (it was heavily distorted)
    Procedure:
    Modprobe snd-aloop (2 loopback channels are enough)
    modprobe snd-aloop pcm_substreams=2
    For permanent solution follow arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobe
    Create ALSA configuration file and store it either to ~/.asoundrc (just for user) or to /etc/asound.conf as system wide:
    pcm.!default {
    type asym
    playback.pcm "LoopAndReal"
    capture.pcm "hw:0,0"
    hint {
    show on
    description "Default with loopback"
    #"type plug" is mandatory to convert sample type
    pcm.LoopAndReal {
    type plug
    slave.pcm mdev
    route_policy "duplicate"
    hint {
    show on
    description "LoopAndReal"
    pcm.mdev {
    type multi
    slaves.a.pcm pcm.MixReal
    slaves.a.channels 2
    slaves.b.pcm pcm.MixLoopback
    slaves.b.channels 2
    bindings.0.slave a
    bindings.0.channel 0
    bindings.1.slave a
    bindings.1.channel 1
    bindings.2.slave b
    bindings.2.channel 0
    bindings.3.slave b
    bindings.3.channel 1
    pcm.MixReal {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1024
    slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
    #rate 48000
    #rate 44100
    #periods 128
    #period_time 0
    #period_size 1024 # must be power of 2
    #buffer_size 8192
    pcm.MixLoopback {
    type dmix
    ipc_key 1025
    slave {
    pcm "hw:Loopback,0,0"
    #rate 48000
    #rate 44100
    #periods 128
    #period_time 0
    #period_size 1024 # must be power of 2
    #buffer_size 8192
    You can play with sample rates and buffer sizes you you have any problem. This configuration works on my system.
    Prepare ffserver configration and store either to default location /etc/ffserver.conf as system wide setup or anywhere to your home:
    # Port on which the server is listening. You must select a different
    # port from your standard HTTP web server if it is running on the same
    # computer.
    Port 8090
    # Address on which the server is bound. Only useful if you have
    # several network interfaces.
    BindAddress 0.0.0.0
    # Number of simultaneous HTTP connections that can be handled. It has
    # to be defined *before* the MaxClients parameter, since it defines the
    # MaxClients maximum limit.
    MaxHTTPConnections 2000
    # Number of simultaneous requests that can be handled. Since FFServer
    # is very fast, it is more likely that you will want to leave this high
    # and use MaxBandwidth, below.
    MaxClients 1000
    # This the maximum amount of kbit/sec that you are prepared to
    # consume when streaming to clients.
    MaxBandwidth 1000
    # Access log file (uses standard Apache log file format)
    # '-' is the standard output.
    CustomLog -
    # Suppress that if you want to launch ffserver as a daemon.
    NoDaemon
    # Definition of the live feeds. Each live feed contains one video
    # and/or audio sequence coming from an ffmpeg encoder or another
    # ffserver. This sequence may be encoded simultaneously with several
    # codecs at several resolutions.
    <Feed feed1.ffm>
    # You must use 'ffmpeg' to send a live feed to ffserver. In this
    # example, you can type:
    # ffmpeg http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
    # ffserver can also do time shifting. It means that it can stream any
    # previously recorded live stream. The request should contain:
    # "http://xxxx?date=[YYYY-MM-DDT][[HH:]MM:]SS[.m...]".You must specify
    # a path where the feed is stored on disk. You also specify the
    # maximum size of the feed, where zero means unlimited. Default:
    # File=/tmp/feed_name.ffm FileMaxSize=5M
    File /tmp/feed1.ffm
    FileMaxSize 200K
    # You could specify
    # ReadOnlyFile /saved/specialvideo.ffm
    # This marks the file as readonly and it will not be deleted or updated.
    # Specify launch in order to start ffmpeg automatically.
    # First ffmpeg must be defined with an appropriate path if needed,
    # after that options can follow, but avoid adding the http:// field
    #Launch ffmpeg
    # Only allow connections from localhost to the feed.
    #ACL allow 127.0.0.1
    </Feed>
    # Now you can define each stream which will be generated from the
    # original audio and video stream. Each format has a filename (here
    # 'test1.mpg'). FFServer will send this stream when answering a
    # request containing this filename.
    # MP3 audio
    <Stream stream.mp3>
    Feed feed1.ffm
    Format mp2
    AudioCodec libmp3lame
    AudioBitRate 320
    AudioChannels 2
    AudioSampleRate 44100
    NoVideo
    </Stream>
    # Ogg Vorbis audio
    #<Stream test.ogg>
    #Feed feed1.ffm
    #Format ogg
    #AudioCodec libvorbis
    #Title "Stream title"
    #AudioBitRate 64
    #AudioChannels 2
    #AudioSampleRate 44100
    #NoVideo
    #</Stream>
    # Special streams
    # Server status
    <Stream stat.html>
    Format status
    # Only allow local people to get the status
    ACL allow localhost
    ACL allow 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.255
    #FaviconURL http://pond1.gladstonefamily.net:8080/favicon.ico
    </Stream>
    # Redirect index.html to the appropriate site
    <Redirect index.html>
    URL http://www.ffmpeg.org/
    </Redirect>
    This sets ffserver for streaming in MP3 format, stereo, 320kbps. Unfortunately I haven't succeeded with OGG Vorbis streaming.
    Now you have all configuration you need and if you want to stream following two commands do that:
    ffserver -f ffserver.conf
    ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:Loopback,1,0 http://localhost:8090/feed1.ffm
    You can test it for example by mplayer:
    mplayer http://YourLinuxBox:8090/stream.mp3
    And that's it. Sound is played by normal sound card and sent to stream simultaneously. If you do not want to listen sound from computer you can mute your soundcard. It has an advantage that one can normally listen to music on the computer with or without streaming and in both cases without any reconfiguration. To start streaming just call ffserver and ffmpeg.
    Advantages:
    + very simple solution without any special sound server
    + no special SW required (in my case I had already instaled all I need for that)
    + streaming on request by two simple commands
    + normal soundcard function
    + streaming in MP3 format that is supported by many home AV receivers
    Disadvantages
    - phonon-vlc backend not compatible (also VLC does not work)
    - OGG streaming does not work
    - some latency (~ 5 sec)
    - all sounds are sent to stream, including various desktop notifications (in KDE could be managed by phonon)

  • How to get audio device information connected with MAC system?

    I want to know the samplerate (the number of samples per second) supported by the device connected with the MAC system.
    I am also pasting the code as below where I need that info.
    // Using PCM 44.1 kHz, 16 bit signed,stereo.
              AudioFormat audioFormat = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED,  //     the audio encoding technique
              44100.0F,// sampleRate           the number of samples per second
              16,      // sampleSizeInBits the number of bits in each sample
              2,       // channels           the number of channels (1 for mono, 2 for stereo, and so on)
              4,       // frameSize           the number of bytes in each frame
              44100.0F,// frameRate          the number of frames per second
              false);  // bigEndian          indicates whether the data for a single sample is stored in big-endian byte order (<code>false</code> means little-endian)

    Can you sugget something in that area.That's not an issue that's specific to MAC, it'd be specific to any system with a limited number of supported capture formats.
    I've handled this problem in the past by generating an array full of all of the AudioFormat objects I'd consider acceptable, and I just iterate through them until I can find a TargetDataline that supports it.
    TargetDataLine tdl = null;
    /* Write your own code to get an array of acceptable formats here */
    AudioFormat formats[] = JavaSoundFormats.getFormatList();
    for (AudioFormat format : formats) {
        DataLine.Info dlinfo = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                                                 format);
            if (AudioSystem.isLineSupported(dlinfo)) {
                try {
                    audio_in_format = format;
                    tdl = (TargetDataLine)AudioSystem.getLine(dlinfo);
                    break;
                catch(LineUnavailableException e) {
                    // No need to do anything
    /* If we don't have a targetdataoutput object, give up */
    if (tdl == null) {
        System.err.println("No TargetDataLines found!");
        System.exit(1);

  • Playing streaming audio using Airport

    I have a iMac4 (10.4.11) with an AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x89). I also have an Airport "box", plugged in to the wall, and connected to the back of my stereo. iTunes plays without a hitch through the stereo, but baseball season is coming and I am trying to figure out how to stream audio (not coming through iTunes) via Airport to my stereo. Hope that's not too convoluted!
    Can this be done? Must I resort to fuzzy AM signals?

    This can be done with a low cost utility called Airfoil - see:

  • Unable Streaming Audio Over AirPort

    OK, with this forum's help, I've figured out how to stream audio from one of my favorite radio stations to my iMac.. That's all well and good, but I'm unable to hear the resulting audio through my stereo receiver which is networked to my iMac through AirPort using an AirPort Express and a Time Capsule. iTunes plays just fine through this network. What's up? I'm missing something.

    depending on the application you use, Airfoil might be able to help.

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

    how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
    I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
    Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

    To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
    Now I've got something to do.

  • How can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    how can I get netflix streaming audio, the video is fine but the audio coming through is from the TV(dish)

    It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop.  And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure  what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?
