I can't find any information on Windows support for Airplay 2.
Can you provide a link?
Airplay support is baked into the iTunes app for Windows. I have it installed on a virtual Windows 10Pro host.
As a matter of academic interest only, 'cuz I have no use for it, when in this app, if I try to connect to a moOde 8.2.1 Airplay renderer I get an error popup "The AirPlay device "moOde Airplay" is not compatible with this version of iTunes." If I try to connect to a moOde 7.6.1 Airplay renderer, however, I get a completed-connection checkmark and a volume slider.

Oops, I thought the build "--with-airplay-2" would fallback to Airplay 1 based on negotiating with the connecting client but thats in fact not the case :-0
In upcoming 8.2.2 release I'll make provisions in the Airplay config section to have the option to choose either Airplay 1 or Airplay 2 packages. The default will be Airplay 2.
Thank you. A bit sad airplay 2 isn't backwards compatible in shairport-sync
At some point the Shairport-sync crew might be able to create a unified version but let's not forget the incredible effort they undertook to successfully reverse engineer Airplay 2. It took the better part of a year.
