ChristianK kindly informed us on the danish 'Peter Pan forum' that from now on (after the update) there is support for multiroom using AirPlay on the NL products

Fra idag kan Essence MK2, BeoSound 1, BeoSound 2, BeoSound 35, BeoPlay A6, BeoPlay M5, BeoPlay A9 MKII distribuere Airplay 
ud på BeoLink Multiroom systemet, inkl TV, såfremt at de kører software version 1.10.x. Dette har tidligere været blokeret fra 
Apples side. 

Please klick the pic (no time for rezising right now).

Have fun 🤒

I wonder whether AirPlay now works for an integrated Essence?

Good news. It was a ridiculous limitation that necessitated far too many workarounds and sent many people into the arms of google

I've been beta tstring this for some time.

Make sure you're network is solid and this is great.

Also, if you're using your phone.. consider airplane mode soas not to get overlap from emails, calls etc.

Bought a BV just to have a AppleTV as airplay source. Not a real punishment, but tad late.

'AirPlay multiroom distribution, once enabled, works also towards Bang & Olufsen TVs as well as in integrated setup / "speaker sharing" mode between an AirPlay Bang & Olufsen product and a Bang & Olufsen TV.'

not sure, i fully understand. are you saying that it is now possible to distribute airplay? so, i can airplay to an A9 and from there to all other NL devices? this would be game-changing... also works to ml/nl? also now allows to distribute chromecast?
