Problem with airtunes - Keir - 2012-08-01
I'm having real problems getting airtunes working on my XBMC. I've enabled it in the config screen and installed libshairport however XBMC still isnt showing up as a speaker on either my itunes or in banshee/rhythmbox/volume control. I ran avahi-discover and it does seem to "see" XBMC advertising itself:
Service Type: _airplay._tcp
Service Name: XBMC (Red)
Domain Name: local
Interface: eth0 IPv4
Address: Red.local/192.168.0.4:36667
TXT model = AppleTV2,1
TXT srcvers = 101.28
TXT features = 0x77
TXT deviceid = C8:60:0:BC:F2:32
I am running Xubuntu 12.04 with the XBMC from the XvBA PPA. Anyone got any ideas how I can fix this?

This is the airplay announcement not the airtunes announcement. Seems your PPA doesn't include airtunes support - for beeing sure post a xbmc.log but you would see a raop._tcp announcment if the PPA maintainer would have done it right during compiletime.

Hi,
Which XBMC xvba are you running ? (wsnipex's ppa have airplay support builtin)
See : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116996&page=95
And try:
Quote:Hi, for your airplay issue, i had some trouble recently i think because of an upgrade, i advise you to:
- enable debug airplay by adding this line into your ~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
<enableairtunesdebuglog>1</enableairtunesdebuglog>
- ensure you installed avahi-daemon and libshairport, and that avahi-daemon is running:
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon libshairport1
sudo service avahi-daemon status
- deactivate and reactivate airplay service and check xbmc log, if you see:
ERROR: Unable to load libshairport.so.0, reason: libshairport.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then you have to apply this:
cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ && sudo ln -s libshairport.so.1.0.0 libshairport.so.0
and deactivate / re-activate and re-test.
Have you activated UFW as the firewall in your system ? (sudo ufw status) if you did and haven't authorized your local network it could off course prevent your device from being seen by your iphone/ipad
