Please accept my best wishes for this new year 2026 — may it be full of developments and optimizations that allow Gladys to become even more popular
Observation made after friends came to my place during the holidays and used my « home » connected speakers to stream their favorite tracks from their iPhone: everything works perfectly
I wanted to try Gladys’s AirPlay feature, but I notice that no speaker is detected… Is this normal? Is it an anomaly? Is it a known limitation? I admit that this feature is not necessarily essential to me. I’m just sharing the observation
I confirm that I have followed the prerequisites (including starting the service under Gladys, restarting Gladys …) and that “network_mode: host” is indeed present in the docker-compose.yml file describing the Gladys container.
Nothing serious/urgent, just an observation concerning me
You don’t need Gladys Plus to make the AirPlay integration work?
More precisely: do you have to go through Gladys Plus to send a message to an AirPlay speaker?
I’m asking because locally I couldn’t get the speaker to speak, well my amp
Since I like DIY, it’s a homemade speaker based on an RPi ZeroW, running Debian and including a PulseAudio server (multi-room audio streaming, to make Gladys speak or to listen to music) and an AirPlay service emulation via “Shairport-sync” (audio only, that’s enough for music when friends want to share their playlists…). Since the set of speakers is visible from my wife’s Mac, I thought Gladys would see them too…
So let’s not waste any more time on the subject then
