AirPlay support

I would very much like to have audio AirPlay support. By that I mean sending the audio from mrmc to an AirPlay speaker. I i would love to be able to change speaker during playback (Plex handles this really nice) and if it is possible I would love even more to be able to set an AirPlay - speaker as default for the Music libary while movies play with normal tv audio.

I believe you can select that in the main apple TV menu. Only 1 speaker though

Apple's airplay is much better than the reverse-engineered version that is disabled for iOS/tvOS in the codebase. I highly doubt that we will ever enable it for two reasons.

1) the tvOS version is much better and we never have to worry about it getting broke.
2) As we are in the Apple App store, they do not like it when an app directly replicates existing functions, like airplay and will reject the app.

No, no.. AirPlay from MrMc TO an AirPlay-speaker. Not airplay in to MrMC.
Sorry If I was unclear.

As Spam01 wrote it is possible to change the output speaker to an AirPlay-speaker in the Apple TV-settings, but it would be nice to be able to change it in a smooth way directly from MrMC. It can be done in Plex by just swiping down and select Audio.

I have also seen it in other apps, so I guess it is a feature in TvOS but thats just me guessing.
Btw -Thanks for a killen app!
