Proximity awareness?

[clee]

I have a Sonos soundbar that supports Airplay, and it has a really neat feature: when I'm physically close to it and I open the Music app on my iPhone, it automatically detects that the soundbar is nearby and shows a prompt asking me if I want to play my music on it. I'm not sure how this works, though. Maybe something related to "Airplay discoverability over bluetooth"? https://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/12/apple-tv-6-1-bluetooth-airplay/

It would be really cool if I could configure shairport-sync to support the same proximity discoverability feature so that I'm prompted to send my music to the shairport-sync server when I'm nearby.

Thanks. It's a nice idea for sure, but unfortunately Apple have not released details of the protocols that are used to implement this, so we are stymied.

Ah, that makes sense. Oh well, thanks for responding at least!
