I'm still utterly confused. The RPI running LMS should not "appear" on
in the AirPlay list of your iPhone, unless that RPI runs shairport, but
that a totally different thing.

The AirPlay bridge finds *real* AirPlay devices on your network and make
LMS believe that they are native squeezeboxes. Such AirPlay devices can
be HomePods, AppleTV, Sonos and many software players based on
shairport. So, unless you run shairport on the RPI, it should not be
pickedup by the bridge

Now, if you want to see real squeezeboxes to be turned into AirPlay
devices that will appear on your iPhone as target speakers to send the
audio to, this is where you are looking for ShairTunes2W plugin

So, in summary when you are talking about the RPI named "Pool" I can
only assume that you are referring to squeezelite (aka LocalPlayer) that
is a software squeezebox that runs on your RPI, but that software runs
independently from LMS. In other word, it can run on a RPI that does not
runs LMS (of course, some computer on your network must run LMS, but it
can be anywhere). You can do the contorted thing to transform
squeezelite into an AirPlay using the bridge and then use it from your
iPhone, but you'd rather use shairport that gives your direct access.
