Airplay not showing up on clients - forrey - 2015-06-05

Hello,
I have a problem getting airplay to work, it seems to be initialized correctly but does not show up on any of my clients.
I'm currently running:
Code:
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-53-generic x86_64)
kodi                         2:14.2~git20150327
avahi-daemon                 0.6.31-4ubuntu1
libshairplay0:amd64          0.9.0-6~trusty
Clients:
OSX 10.10.3
iOS 8.3

The airplay service is being announced:
Code:
:~$ avahi-browse -a
+ vmnet8 IPv6 Kodi (Fileserver)                             _airplay._tcp        local
+ vmnet8 IPv4 Kodi (Fileserver)                             _airplay._tcp        local
+ vmnet1 IPv6 Kodi (Fileserver)                             _airplay._tcp        local
+ vmnet1 IPv4 Kodi (Fileserver)                             _airplay._tcp        local
+   p4p1 IPv6 Kodi (Fileserver)                             _airplay._tcp        local

+   p4p1 IPv4 000000000000@Kodi (Fileserver)                AirTunes Remote Audio local

I hope you can help me find the root of this problem.
Regards

000000000000@kodi <- means that kodi was not able to determine your mac address. Thats your problem You need to delay the start of kodi until the network is up to solve this problem.


RE: Airplay not showing up on clients - forrey - 2015-06-05

Should a restart of kodi solve it then?
Because that did not change it.

EDIT:
Looks like I found it. I have an openvpn server running on the same machine, somehow thats blocking kodi from obtaining the mac address. Might be a Problem with openvpn or my avahi config then.
