AirfoilMetadataAgent

A C# / .NET 4.0 library for communicating with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for Windows over named pipes.

The primary use for this would be for integrating with Airfoil's remote control and metadata capabilities into an audio application of some sort. Remote speakers and clients with metadata and/or remote control capabilities can then make use of those features when Airfoil is intercepting that application's audio. More details on that here.

Usage

Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/AirfoilMetadataAgent/

Start by implementing the AirfoilAgentListener interface on a class, then create an Agent with that listener and you're off to the races.

Don't forget to Stop() the agent after you're done with it.

Sample

class AirfoilSupport : AirfoilAgentListener
{
	private Agent airfoilAgent = null;

	public void Start()
	{
		airfoilAgent = new Agent(this);
	}

	public bool SupportsRemoteControl { get { return true; } }
	public bool HandleRemoteControl(RemoteControlType messageType)
	{
		bool handled = false;
		// ...
		return handled;
	}

	public bool SupportsMetadata { get { return true; } }
	public string HandleMetadata(MetadataType messageType)
	{
		string result = null;
		// ...
		return result;
	}

	public void Stop()
	{
		airfoilAgent.Stop();
	}
}
