Airplay to other capable devices

Feature Suggestions
1

Being a Plex Pass member I jumped at the new Plex release devoted to music (https://goo.gl/iQMJhn). 

 

I have a Pioneer VSX-528 (http://goo.gl/Qhqaz5) which supports both Airplay and DLNA and I would love if I could pass music to it from my Android or iOS devices, without any other device. This doesn't seem possible?

 

I have searched the forums and there seems to be similar topics but nothing specifically targeted or recent.

 

I have currently the latest versions of server, iOS and android apps.

 

Please PLEX team, make this happen!

 

Then I can finally tell iTunes to get lost!

The Android app added Airplay support back in March.  You should be able to cast to an Airplay capable device as if it were a Plex client.

Sorry I just re-read my message and I meant to say Android only doesn't work, here are screenshots from both my devices:

iPad Air

Samsung Galaxy S4

As you can see in the screenshots I can share music to my Pioneer VSX-528 receiver from my iPad but not from Android. I'm guessing this isn't normal?

edit: I have made sure I removed the app and re-installed to check I had the latest version and no luck, should I have a Airplay looking share button like the iPad has?

I am pretty sure Airplay only works on Apple devices. It is an Apple standard after all.

As MovieFan said, the Android version has had Airplay added, but I cannot seem to get it to work to my receiver, yet Airplay works from my iPad with Plex

Anyone else have any ideas? I would really like to stop using iTunes

2021 clean-up: original request had been implemented; remaining scope is not a feature suggestion but about buggy casting behavior
