Airplay audio source does not show up when not connected

[I542880]

Hello @TobiasMende,
first of all, This is a great workflow. Thank you for your work.

I have a airplay audio that I wish to switch between time to time, but I've found out that if airplay is not enabled, audio switcher does not show it, even when it is avaiable from a system setting -> Sound -> Output & Input

If I enable airplay manually, workflow successfully shows the Airplay as a current selected output device.
Would it be possible to search and select for the waiting Airplay devices for a getAudioDeviceList?

Thank you for the report @I542880 🙏 I will take a look into it. I don't have an AirPlay device, so not sure if I can reproduce it.

It seems to be a known issue with the API I am using to retrieve the list. Maybe I can find a workaround.

Which OS X version are you using?

Hello @TobiasMende, thank you for a prompt response,
I'm on a using OS 14.4 ATM.

From what I have searched, it seems there is no public API to help detect/enable AirPlay and it seems this is intentional design choice. Please let me know if you find a workaround, so I may help you on reproducing the issue :)

Hi @LazyRen – I do not know any workarounds at the moment and also cannot test it due to not having an AirPlay device. I will keep this open and tag it with "help wanted". Maybe somebody else knows how to include AirPlay devices and can test this.

I searched about how to get Airplay devices with swfit code. but After some osx version, it doesnt work anymore. It is meant that kAudioHardwarePropertyDevices this value doesnt contain Airplay devices.
There is another example to get Airplay device in switft code but im really newbiew for this, i cannot implment this in this workflow. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/17664.

But i found some another solution to revoke application by script: deweller/switchaudio-osx#9 (comment)
It works to change sources from local spearkers to airplay device.
I hope there is someone who help this issue. :D
