I installed the AirPlay bridge on my new Ubuntu server. I didn't have to
do anything, it worked right out of the box. That's quite a different
experience from what I'm used to from my NAS installation. The only
thing was that I had to enable a player manually -after- renaming it
(that umlaut-thing I mentioned).

If I may make a suggestion:

At the moment, the players get their LMS name based on a MAC address
(the BBB... one, I think). I don't know how it works with other devices,
but with Sonos speakers, it looks like this:


Code:
--------------------
    
  "Küche         aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa BBBBBBBBBBBB@Küche._raop._tcp.local   
Sonos-BBBBBBBBBBBB"
  
--------------------


If other devices also announce their given name (like "Küche" in this
example) in the AirPlay bridge, what about using that name instead of
the MAC address? Not a big thing, really, but they get a name assigned
anyway.
