You guys seem to have a really good handle on the whole AirPlay thing so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction...
I configured a ASUS chromebox using openelec for a friend of mine (my box works great!), tested AirPlay at my house, works fine. Moved the box to his place and it's not seen on the network as an AirPlay device! I can access the box through the network and DLNA works fine but no AirPlay... The only configuration difference is that it was using WiFi at my place versus hardwired at his. If anyone has any clue what's going on I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Make sure it's not filtering out multicast traffic. Bonjour announcements are sent using multicast.

Latest nightly build of Kodi works for me. Beta 2 did not.

Wouldn't it be better to have the Airplay functionality in a plugin instead of in the main product?
The problem is that the IOS updates will probably never be in sync with the Kodi release scheme.

So this is weird... I've got an iPad mini 2 running iOS 8.1, jail broken with pangu. I've got kodi beta 4 running on windows 8.1. I've got an unjailbroken iPhone 5c running iOS 8.1. Today, streaming video from the iPad started working... Watched 12 minutes of an NFL Gamepass game. Doesn't work on the iPhone - only audio. I don't have any Cydia apps that could explain this, so I'm at a loss as to why this is working, but I'm pretty happy! Any ideas?

Have updated to latest Helix beta, and Airplay with Youtube works here on iOS 8.1.1 but the quality appears to be limited to 360p for me? Tried from Safari and a third party Youtube app, both 360p. The Youtube addon in Kodi is set to allow 1080p, and plays the same videos in high resolution when not started via Airplay. Anyone else seeing this?
Also, is there any way to have it automatically play the video? At the moment it pauses after receiving the video, and I need to hit play every time.
