Updated main Readme
Changes since 1.0.1 Release
Support Library updates: Big Ticket Changes
Play URL command
Fixes play URL command for >OS16.4 - can't get BI camera streams working, but https:// mp4 and mu38 play well. (if particularly file doesn't play will relate to compatible file settings)
Airplay2 Speaker Support
Adds Airplay2 Speaker Support - allows playback of file to all Airplay2 devices.
Allows creation of indigo device for Airplay2 Speaker, and then file playback to these devices, including all Sonos Speakers that I have tested. (Note does not allow control of Airplay2 devices, just playback, further control will likely follow)
