I just tried it out again, I have tried so many different things over the last couple of months, so I had to make sure I had not just dreamt about it working. I have two different Windows (7+Vista) laptops running XBMC 12A7+spotify.
I must admit that it is not working absolutely flawless, but I'll share my findings in case some of them could help you. In today's test airplay works just fine on the windows 7 machine. It shows up on the IOS (both iPhone and iPad) and plays when music is thrown at it from either spotify or music library. There seems to be a tendency for XBMC, not during playback, but after the Airplay signal has been sent to another device.
On the windows vista machine it is a little different. At first it didn't show up on the phone. Restarting the computer made it show up. But it did not seem to accept the incoming music - no sound. I tried to restart XBMC and found out that airplay was working fine while still at the loginscreen (which I have active) but not when logged in as either master or regular user.
So I turned the loginscreen off, and now Airplay is working from the home screen. But when I go to the login screen and log in as another user, I get in trouble again. Airplay can still recognize the device, but no sound. Going back to loginscreen or back to original user doesn't help, restart required.
That's how! I hope you get it to work.
Thank you for your information StefanK, I thought audio playback had some DRM issues on Airplay and windows, but looks like these has been figured in the Frodo build.
Now it work flawlessly with xbmc on both my win8 and win7.
1. Just open spotify app on ipad/iphone and play a song,
2. double tap the ipad-button and scroll to the left where you should see the airplay icon.
3. press it and select your xbmc as output source.
Problems:
Cant find the the Airplay symbol on ipad/iphone?
1. Check system->services->airplay in xbmc that Airplay is enabled
2. Reconnect to you wireless network with the ipad/iphone.
3. Restart router and reconnect with computer first, then Ipad/iphone.
I find the icon but the music is not playing
1. Try to send music from the itunes music app.
2. If you here music from ituens, then try Spotify and it works!
