Acerca de Porthole
Porthole was a Mac application that allowed users to stream system audio to AirPlay devices simultaneously. Developed by Danger Cove, it enabled multi-room audio playback before Apple introduced native AirPlay 2 support in 2017. The tool required reverse-engineering undocumented AirPlay protocols and faced compatibility issues with firmware updates.
