Template:XBMC wiki toc As of v11 (Eden), XBMC supports being an AirPlay target, allowing any device/platform that can run XBMC to receive AirPlay content from an iOS or iTunes source (as well as other 3rd party AirPlay sources for desktops and even Android).
To enable the service go to
- 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 XBMC).
- All platforms support pictures.
- All platforms except Windows support music (with or without DRM). Windows will be supported when libshairport is ported to Win32.
- AirPlay mirroring is currently unsupported.
- Videos recorded from an iDevice might not display with the correct rotation. Support for this is planned for later.
Requirements
- Linux/Ubuntu users will need to install avahi-daemon:
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon #(on Ubuntu)
- 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
Apple TV 2
When using XBMC's AirPlay server feature on an Apple TV 2 (black) be sure to disable the native ATV2 AirPlay server in the ATV2's settings. Using the native AirPlay server will crash XBMC.
advancedsettings.xml
There are three advancedsettings.xml settings that apply to AirPlay:
- <enableairtunesdebuglog>
- <airtunesport>
- <airplayport>
