Hello all,
Can I firstly just say a huge thank you to everyone involved for putting the time in to develop this build. It works brilliantly with my e450 based Acer Revo RL70. Without it, I would almost certainly be using Window$. Perish the thought!
While I have had success playing back Youtube videos from my iPhone 4S to XBMC via airplay, I have been unable to get music to play. I have previously had this working when using an Ubuntu 11.10 desktop distro and the Eden B2 ppa. I was able to play a song, switch the airplay speaker to 'Ubuntu', and XBMC would detect this and play the song with a graphic equalizer visualisation running in the background. All good. With the XBVA build, I see the option on the airplay menu on the iphone, I select and start playing the song, but nothing happens. It fails silently. There are no entries in the xbmc log files either.
@wsnipex I noticed back on post #75 you listed your compile options:
Note '--disable-airtunes'
So, I am correct in thinking that airtunes is missing from this build? And if so, would it be possible re-enable it in future builds? Would love to have this feature.
As a workaround, I am currently using a standalone install of shairport, set up to run at startup. It works well, although it seems to require a reboot sometimes to get it working.
Thanks
Wookee

Quote:When I first started to build the packages, it wouldn't compile with libcec on launchpad, so I disabled it. I might look into it again, when I find time.
