Windows Airplay Error - Unable to create demuxer
#1
I'm having trouble getting Airplay to work with XBMC Frodo under Windows 8.1. When I flip my iPhone onto airplay mode, the album art briefly (<1 second) appears on the XBMC screen then vanishes, no sound is played. Video doesn't work at all either.

The log file is below. I cleaned the log, launched XBMC, enabled debug, flipped a song into airplay mode then saved the log, so hopefully this log should be accurate but concise. I deleted a load of "alternate resolution" lines and "artwork download" lines but left the rest. The airplay error is at the end.

Can anyone help me please?[/php]

I'm still trying to figure this out - can anyone help?

Is it normal for XBMC to sue the DVDPlayerCodec for music via Airplay? these lines seem to be the cause of the problem -

23:24:52 T:4000 ERROR: DVDPlayerCodec::Init: Error creating demuxer
23:24:52 T:4000 ERROR: CAudioDecoder: Unable to Init Codec while loading file pipe://1/
23:24:52 T:4000 WARNING: PAPlayer::QueueNextFileEx - Failed to create the decode

This turned out to be due to the existing compatibility problem with the Frodo and IOS7 described here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=167545

Installing the latest nightly-build fixed the problem - I'm able to stream by airplay now and it works great!

Wrong conclusion. Your problem is unrelated to the ios7 error. Any nightly build for windows should solve it for you too. (remember - the ios7 problem is related to the fact that xbmc does only show up as audio target. Audio is the only thing that works for some ios7 users. The problem with ios7 is for video and pictures only to 99%).
