allow playing audio directly from the (non os x ) server to a airplay destination. just like using a dlna client or a plex client as a remote target. currently i’m using an 1. gen apple tv with the apple remote app to play audio trhoughout the house to different airport base stations. it would be nice to be able to do this directly from my synology based plex server without the need to stream from the server to an ios client and then to the airport. ---
