MPMusicPlayerController with AirPlay?

Question

I am creating an audio app which uses iPod Music Player, I need Airplay functionality. I also used RoutePlayButton in MPVolumeView slider. I don't have apple TV to test if it will work or not.

    MPVolumeView *myVolumeView;
    [myVolumeView setShowsRouteButton:YES];

1.) How can we add Airplay functionality to MPMusicPlayerController?

2.) How can we test the Airplay feature from the app, on which devices?

Please help. Thanks.

Follow these steps you check airplay without apple TV in iMac.

1) Download AirPlayer 0.28 beta application then install it. AirPlayer transform your Mac into an AirPlay-compatible display.

2) Now go to System Perferences and in there is select Sharing.

3) Tick internet Sharing by making WiFi On.

EDIT : 4) Make WIFI ON in device also

4) Now open AirPlayer 0.28 app and play video in app.

5) You will see airplay button in MPVolumeView as it will display names of devices which can support airplay and select your mac for airplay.

You r done. Enjoy........

1.) To add Airplay functionality to MPMusicPlayerController

MPVolumeView *myVolumeView;
    [myVolumeView setShowsRouteButton:YES];

2.) To test airplay without Apple T.V.

AirServer is a paid app. I tried the trial version, it was working fine on Mac-Mini. Please let me know if anyone come across any free app. As @Prince suggested.

You need to install Airserver on your mini mac.
Soon you installed and made your Airserver activated then your device shows airplay symbol.
Choose your mini mac from the list and rest of the things you can see on your mini mac.

For installing trail version of Airserver you can go through this link:

http://www.airserver.com/Download/

You no need to code anything for airplay. Just the thing is your mini mac should have airplay option enabled (If not Airserver) and by default airplay is set to YES.
