I need to mirror content of my laptop screen to AppleTV unit. It is easy using airplay.jar script taken from here:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Airplay-to-AppleTV-From-Linux-PC/

But the problem is that I have to know IP address of AppleTV box. Of course it is possible to know that address using for example avahi-browse command from CLI but I want to do it automatically. So is any possibility or ready application to mirror screen to AppleTV with automatic IP address of AppleTV recognition?

If you know how to obtain the IP adress, and the airplay script is working, why not write a simple wrapper script around it?
Some hints can be found at http://vadim-kirilchuk-linux.blogspot.d ... linux.html

Apart from that, there's https://rubygems.org/gems/airstream

Of course it is possible to obtain IP address of AppleTV by manual analyzing output from avahi-browse. But IP addresses in different places where AppleTV boxes are installed, can be different every day because basically it uses DHCP. And in one place, 3 such boxes are installed. I want to have something similar to Mac feature that is if AppleTV box is discover, clicking appropriate icon will display list of available boxes. Is any solution for automatic analyzing avahi-daemon discover units? I think it is possible because using for example printer configuration included in MCC, it is possible to find out mDNS/DNS-SD working network printers (basicaly used by MAC AirPrint). So I am looking for similar solution for AppleTV

You can grab some pieces of code for the discovery here and there. E.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5915 ... jour-nodes or https://github.com/benvanik/node-airplay and maybe https://nto.github.io/AirPlay.html#servicediscovery

And no, there doesn't seem to be some kind of applet which is ready to use for what you want.
Should be pretty easy to whip up only using avahi-browse and zenity. And you could also reuse code from avahi-discover.

If anybody interested in this topic, this is my script to automatically discover Apple TV and display (mirror) screen form my laptop to Apple TV box:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
cd /home/maciek/Pobrane
cat /dev/null > ~/Pobrane/air_nodes
avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -tr|egrep "hostname = "|sed 's/.*\[//'|sed 's/\]$//' > ~/Pobrane/air_nodes
num=1
while read LINE ; do
        echo "$num)- $LINE"
        num=$(( $num + 1 ))
done < ~/Pobrane/air_nodes
ilosc=`cat ~/Pobrane/air_nodes|wc -l`
read line
[ $line -eq "0" ] || [ $line -gt $ilosc ] && echo "Wrong number entered" && exit
linia=`head -n $line ~/Pobrane/air_nodes | tail -1`
adres=`avahi-resolve-address -4 -n $linia | awk '{print $2;}'`
java -jar airplay.jar -h $adres -d

Any improvements welcome !!!

Could you at least provide an example output of "avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -tr" and explain what you do with that temporary file? You only want to enter a number corresponding to a line of an name to which Apple TV box to mirror, right?

I will provide You output of "avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -tr" tomorrow, when I will be back to work. And, yes. Temporary file in necessary only to enter proper number corresponding to particular Apple TV box. I have 3 Apple TV boxes in local network at work.

I'd shorten it down like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
choice="$(avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -ptr|awk -F';' '{print $8}'|grep -v ^$|zenity --list --hide-header --title="select Apple TV to mirror to:" --text="select one..." --column="IP adresses" 2>/dev/null)"
java -jar airplay.jar -h "$choice" -d

FWIW, you had

Code: Select all

cat /dev/null > ~/Pobrane/air_nodes

which is called "useless use of cat".
Simply use

Code: Select all

> ~/Pobrane/air_nodes

But as you use

Code: Select all

sed 's/\]$//' > ~/Pobrane/air_nodes

later on it's unnecessary to empty the file beforehand.

Also

Code: Select all

[ $line -eq "0" ] || [ $line -gt $ilosc ]

could be shortened down in bash as

Code: Select all

[[ $line -eq 0 -o -gt $ilosc ]]

So You have an output from "avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -tr" :

Code: Select all

bash-4.3$ avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -tr
+ enp6s0 IPv4 Apple TV Gabinet (2)                          _airplay._tcp        local
= enp6s0 IPv4 Apple TV Gabinet (2)                          _airplay._tcp        local
   hostname = [Apple-TV-Gabinet.local]
   address = [192.168.100.115]
   port = [7000]
   txt = ["vv=2" "srcvers=220.68" "pi=6f2ee0d4-fac0-4f43-bdb3-ef0ccbbd760f" "pk=ac0a349f7fe67ba42d298ca8ed7e33213e29a16c8680e942476eaa0fdc1fe344" "model=AppleTV3,1" "flags=0x44" "features=0x5A7FFFF7,0xE" "deviceid=9C:20:7B:C7:B6:7F"]

And one remark to Your code:

Code: Select all

    #!/bin/bash
    choice="$(avahi-browse _airplay._tcp -ptr|awk -F';' '{print $8}'|grep -v ^$|zenity --list --hide-header --title="select Apple TV to mirror to:" --text="select one..." --column="IP adresses" 2>/dev/null)"
    java -jar airplay.jar -h "$choice" -d

It returns in zenity window IP address instead of human friendly box name. In my case it should be listed as "Apple TV Gabinet";

Below full listing obtained from "avahi-browse -avrc"

It returns in zenity window IP address instead of human friendly box name. In my case it should be listed as "Apple TV Gabinet";

Well, then change it to display the hostname.It's the seventh column instead of the eigth, so

Code: Select all

awk -F';' '{print $8}'

becomes

Code: Select all

awk -F';' '{print $7}'

Advice please ! The process initialises by java -jar airplay.jar command line, can be stop by depressing control-C character. How can I send control-C to such process from zenity (or other) GUI? It is importand because at this moment, java -jar airplay.jar ones started, still mirror M5 desktop do Apple-TV. The only solution is to run the script form terminal and end it by control-C from that terminal.

ctrl+c sends the SIGINT signal, so you can use that.

Yes, I know that ctrl+c sends the SIGINT signal. But how can I obtain process number to send it ctrc-c ? There is no airplay.jar process ins system.

Inside your script run

Code: Select all

pstree -pas $$

once and display the output or write it to some file, you'll see all your parent and child processes.
Then you could run ps www on all the childs to get their full comm fields if you don't know what processes you start.

Or

Code: Select all

ps auxwww|grep -v grep|grep -iE "java|airplay"

Below my final version of "AirPlay for Linux". First run start cloning desktop from M5 to AppleTV, the second run, turn it off. If anybody interested - wecame:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
if [ -f ~/tmp/apple ]
then
proc=`cat ~/tmp/apple`
kill -9 $proc
rm -f ~/tmp/apple 2>/dev/null
kdialog --passivepopup "End of cloning to Apple TV" 5 2>/dev/null
