All, did anyone aware why Apple music is not available on Nvidia shield pro or another way to install same on Shield pro.
I don't want to cast it hence the ask and don't have any other media player to try. Thanks for the inputs in advance

Apple Music does not have a native app for Android TV. I noticed that Apple TV now has a native app. So we can be hopeful that in future Apple music will get one too.
Until then , the best option is to sideload the normal app. It functions ok, and will be better than casting. However, you will need to control it through the Shield TV app , which is cumbersome.

Which marantz processor do u have? Does it have airplay?
 
my understanding is Airplay works with Apple devices please correct as required I dont own any apple device
Airplay works with any device/system that implements the airport protocol. My linux laptop supports airplay and raspberry pi supports airplay if you install shairport or shairport-sync daemon. Android phones also support airplay if you install any app that supports airplay.

That's correct but there are 3rd party software that'll enable airplay. U can try Neplayer on mob & Airparrot3 is for PC. (Silly on airplay part) If it works good.

If not, I'd really recommend getting a basic iPad/iPad mini even if u get a deal should be fine. most imp ur marantz has airplay 2. Absolutely worth using it. it will be lively & punchy output. Using it currently.

Since ur using Nvidia pro, i am not able to figure out a way to transfer media faster over wirelessly. I don't want to use a PC/Laptop. I use my mobile to get media then transfer it over network wirelessly but speed is like 4mbps. So current workaround i hv is a SanDisk OTG type C USB 256GB. I connect it to phone for fast transfer and then plug it in on Nvidia pro 19. Wish they has solution for same or atleast "share it" support on Play Store for nvidia.
