Good to know Rob.. Tell us how many hrs you get from a charge:)
Ran the Pi for 10-12 hours yesterday and the Anker had dropped to 70%. Got it powering both the Pi and the Caiman II today so I'll see what kind of drain I get today.
I reused the connector adaptors I'd bought for my AA battery rig:

The socket that came with that kit fits the tip of the cable that comes with the Anker and the plug fits the Caiman II. The other cable that comes with the Anker - the USB cable - fits the USB power socket on the Pi. So a pretty simple way to power up both devices.

Two odd things I've noticed.
1) My 2 Mac minis that are connected to my network by wired Ethernet display moode as Shared in Finder which is what I'd expect. However my Macbook Air which of course is wireless-connected doesn't show it in Finder (I can access it by SSH and browser OK though)
2) Although I have Airplay enabled in Moode, none of my Macs show it on their Airplay dropdown. I tried resetting, rebooting, switching volume control from disabled to software, but no luck
Any ideas?
Cheers

Quick follow-up - strangely enough, moode is showing up OK on Airplay on my iPhone, just not on the Macs. I don't have any firewall enabled on any of them BTW.

Suggest rebooting all the macs and letting them rediscover things. I've had to do this on occasion. Btw, what version of OS X are u running on the mini's and the Air?

OK so that may be one issue - the Air is now on El Capitan, whereas the Minis are on Yosemite. It appears that on El Capitan you don't have an All.. option in Finder. Looks like El Capitan doesn't see the Pi :-(
I've tried the trick of "sudo pkill coreaudiod" to reset Airplay, but I still only see my Apple TV box coming up (on all Macs). All very weird.
And just to confirm that rebooting the Air didn't help :-(
Well I spoke too soon - moode just appeared in Finder - took some time after the reboot, but still no joy with it showing up in the Airplay dropdown unfortunately
Hi Rob,
I retested Airplay support and no issues in my test environment. The Pi Airplay receivers all show up in IOS, OS X system volume and iTunes volume. It's odd that your Mini's that are running Yos are not seeing the Airplay receivers but in Elcap its probably bug.
On your MBA, do the Airplay receivers show up in iTunes volume control?
Here are my Apple components:
Macbook Air
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
- iTunes 12.3.1.23
iPhone 5
- IOS 9.1
iPod Touch 5th Gen
- IOS 9.1
iPad Mini 2
- IOS 9.1
Regards,
Tim
Well maybe it's me going mad! Rebooted the Pi this morning and everything now shows up OK on the Air! :-)
