First of all, thank you tripkip for making it easier for us
I followed your guide and it kind of works me. I can run AirPlay videos and photos, but I have to manually start avahi-daemon and restart the script.
When I boot up I can see that the python script is running. Checking with ps -aux
/var/log/airplayer/airplayer.log:
2011-03-10 19:22:12 [WARNING] Couldn't connect to XBMC at 127.0.0.1:8080, are you sure it's running?
If I start the avahi-daemon manually and then restart the script the XBMCLive appears as a destination for my iPad.
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo service avahi-daemon start
[sudo] password for xbmc:
avahi-daemon start/running, process 1420
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/airplayer restart

Any ideas why avahi-daemon doesn't start/work at boot? I'm running XBMCLive 10.1.
