Is there any public api to detect AirPlay available or not

I have implement the MPVolumeView to show Airplay option but I don't know how to hide MPVolumeView if Airplay options/sources are no longer available.

Is there any public API which can detecting AirPlay option/source are available or not. So that application can hide/show the airplay option.

NOTE: I am using custom player not the default MPMoviePlayerController

Thanks!

In addition to the correct response the MPVolumeViewWirelessRoutesAvailableDidChangeNotification it's been deprecated for this one AVRouteDetectorMultipleRoutesDetectedDidChangeNotification

I see two approaches that would work:

  1. Set MPVolumeView's showsVolumeSlider to NO and the AirPlay route button picker "...is visible only when there is an AirPlay output device available."

Source: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/AirPlayGuide/EnrichYourAppforAirPlay/EnrichYourAppforAirPlay.html

  1. Add observer for MPVolumeViewWirelessRoutesAvailableDidChangeNotification and hide or remove your subview. 

    - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
  [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                           selector:@selector(handleWirelessRoutesDidChange:)
                                               name:MPVolumeViewWirelessRoutesAvailableDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self];
}

- (void)handleWirelessRoutesDidChange:(NSNotification *)notification {
    NSLog(@"Wireless routes did change: %@", notification);
    // Hide or remove your MPVolumeView
}
