<section begin="intro" />As of v11 (Eden), Kodi supports being an [[w:AirPlay|AirPlay]] target, allowing any device/platform that can run Kodi to receive some AirPlay content.<section end="intro" />

To enable the service go to
:{{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Network/Services|System/Settings -> Network -> Services]]}} and enable AirPlay

== Features and known issues ==
* An AirPlay password can be optionally set.
* All platforms support video (without DRM, meaning videos downloaded from the iTunes store will not play in Kodi). Audio within the video will also work on all platforms.
* AirPlaying from some apps adds DRM which prevents Kodi from playing the video.
* All platforms support pictures.
* All platforms support music (with or without DRM).
* AirPlay mirroring is currently unsupported.
* Videos recorded from an [[w:iDevice|iDevice]] might not display with the correct rotation on Windows. [http://forum.Kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=149006]
* AirPlaying music will show meta data (song/artist info, etc). Currently only works when AirPlaying from iTunes on a desktop computer. Also works when playing from iOS 8.3.

== Requirements ==
* '''Linux/Ubuntu''' users will need to install avahi-daemon: <pre>sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon #(on Ubuntu)</pre>

* '''Linux/Arch''' users will need to install avahi and shairplay and start avahi-daemon service:
<pre>
sudo pacman -S avahi shairplay #(on Arch)
sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon
sudo systemctl start avahi-daemon</pre>

* '''Mac OS X''' needs no additional set-up.

* '''Windows''' users will need to install Bonjour (if you have iTunes installed then you will already have Bonjour): http://support.apple.com/kb/dl999

* '''Network''', be sure that your router allow multicast traffic
