Template:XBMC wiki toc As of v11 (Eden), XBMC supports being an AirPlay target. 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.

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:
