But why should I have to? Why should I look outside my network when attempting to connect to my devices? It's the P2P AirPlay design which needs a justification, not me wanting to get it disabled.

But that's most likely on your local network. No need to use Bluetooth for this, when you have simple local UDP multicast. Also: Using Bluetooth for discovery of your units suck. I live in an area with lots of houses close by each ot

Yeah. I guess it depends on how it gets installed, but there’s absolutely nothing preventing it from running side-by-side. I’ve been hot-swapping 3.1 and 5.0-rc2 for projects, preparing for the final 5.0 release.
