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.
- 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>
