Airgroup Service IDs for Consumer Streaming Services

  • 1.  Airgroup Service IDs for Consumer Streaming Services

    Posted Jan 26, 2018 12:09 PM

    I'm trying to provide consumer streaming services to those that live on our campus across VLANs with Airgroup. It looks like these will need to be added manually to Airgroup. In particular, I've been asked about Spotify, HBO Go, and Hulu. I don't subscribe to these services which makes identifying them a bit challenging. If you have those service IDs, would you mind sharing them? Thanks.

    Hm. This should not be required. AirGroup is only used for the device that is the receiver (Googlecast device, AirPlay device, etc), not individual services.

     

    Some services like Spotify can advertise themselves to assist with with their own discovery protocols, but individual media services are not something I'd recommend adding.

    Thanks for the response. It got caught in spam.

     

    Hmmm. TAC is telling me different. I had to add some Service IDs to get a Sonos device to work. Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology.

    The TAC information is correct.  Various devices that want to cast to various multicast receivers require Service IDs to properly interpret the multicast requeset and forward it as unicast, the proxy function that Airgroup is providing.  It can be a challenge to determine what the correct Serivce ID information is in an environment with new devices, services, and players all the time.  This is important in a development enviroment whre there are many devices in a broadcast domain.
