Trying to find the time to work on AirMusic is challenging but I have been slowly but surely improving things and adding audiobooks & podcasts support.
At the same time, I have started working on Photos and Videos support to try to resurrect AirShow. The public APIs suck as much as the music ones so it’s going to take a while unfortunately. In any case, AirMedia (Music, Videos, Photos) will be submitted soon to Apple I hope.
I have also bought a Boxee Box to try to support it.
Oh my. The new UI is plain horrible and Apple has nothing to worry about them but being able to watch a 1080P movie over WiFi without a hickup is kinda nice. Take that Hulu.
Any idea if Boxee can be customized without having to install a full XBMC version on it?
Last night, AirMusic update was submitted to Apple. It includes the following fixes and improvements:
– Songs purchased on iTunes working again
– Background support (need to wake up the app every 10 min though to keep music playing due to iOS limitation)
– Dramatically improved song startup time
– Updated UI to combine Devices & Computers as Connections
– Sony TV Bravia support added
– Windows Media 11 support added
– Now shows album arts on PS3, Bravia TVs, Samsung & more (except XBox)
– More DLNA compatible devices support added
– Added High Quality Streams toggle (turn off if audio is stuttering)
– Fixed crashes due to bad song metadata
– Fixed empty artist folders or duplicate
Apple took a bit of time but in the end approved AirMusic and it’s being retweeted like mad already on the Twittersphere.

Yesterday, the doubleTwist company I contracted for a couple months ago finally announced an awesome feature called AirTwist. With AirTwist, you can now stream your music, video and photos from your Android phone to a TV using a PS3 or XBox. This is the first Android product released which is powered by our Platinum UPnP SDK.
Check out their press release and blog entry.
Last night, I put the finishing touches to AirMusic and submitted to Apple for review. I am hopeful they will not reject it because it’s damn cool ;-).
Update:
After a first rejection due to a mistake on my end with anti-crack protection, I resubmitted and it’s now back in review. Waiting game now.
Update:
And it’s now live on iTunes!
It’s been a long time due. We’ve update iDemo with some really cool features:
New Features
– Added iPhone 4th Gen & iPad device shell.
– Automatic proper device selection upon connection (can also be manually set via menu).
– Device can now be rotated in all directions, by 90° increments, via menu or command+left/right keys.
– Shell can now be resized or stretched so iPad or iPhone 4 can fit on smaller screen resolutions.
– Can now enter device IP manually for when network topology prevents Bonjour from working.
Changes & Fixes
– USB now working with Display Recorder.
– Added support for iPod 4th Gen.
– Improved Multi-Display support.
Enjoy!
