# AirPlay plugin

The AirPlay plugin allows you to play content on AirPlay devices. An AirPlay device selection button appears when AirPlay devices are available in the same wireless network.

## Installation

To install this plugin, you can include the plugin script next to the core player:


```html
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/flowplayer.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/plugins/airplay.min.js"></script>
```

## Limitations

When using this plugin, consider the following limitations:

* **Browser support** — AirPlay is available only in Apple Safari browsers.
* **Subtitles** — Apple TV only supports captions or subtitles tagged in the HLS master .m3u8 manifest. Side-loaded Web Video Text Tracks (WebVTT) don't display on the AirPlay device.
* **Media Source Extensions (MSE) support** — Safari doesn't support AirPlay when [MSE](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Source_Extensions_API)(blob sources) are used. The Wowza Flowplayer HLS and MPEG-DASH plugins use MSE to play streams.
  * The AirPlay plugin configures the player with `{ hls: { native: true }}` which disables HLS.js and thus enable AirPlay support. If you prefer to avoid this behavior, manually configure `{ hls: { native: false }}`.
  * On MPEG-DASH sources, AirPlay doesn't display the button since it's not supported.
