Hello,
I'm very intrested in the airplay feature on XBMC for linux (gentoo).
I installed the current git master version but I don't get any airplay device visible on my iphone 5s with ios8.1.
Please tell me which git I have to install to use the current airplay version for kodi 14 or xbmc 13.2-x.
For me it is helpfull to get the git adress.
Additional I would like to know if I have to enable any special configuration before I do compile kodi?
Thanks

airplay.xml was never introduced into mainline because it was to hacked up.

Just to be sure : Yet, only streaming music and photos works over airplay with iOS8(.1) ?
I've just read about the "Pangu Jailbreak" for iOS8. Is it possibly to take the full advantage of airplay after jailbreaking ? (means playing videos from the device, or youtube, mirroring, photos, music..)

Before you buy an ATV only for this purpuse, why don't you try airserver. It has a free trial and is supposed to work together with Kodi.

using the ios 6 spotify app fixed airplay using spotify under ios7 for me.
if you remove the spotify app then go search for it on the app store, youll find spotify for ios 6 a little ways down the results.

Hello,
I've installed kodi in the current version today.
It works fine on my gentoo Linux system.
Thanks!
But airplay will not work for me.
I can't see any airplay device on my iphone 5s with IOS 8.1.
If I start the xbmc 13.2 on the same system I can see the airplaydevice and I can playback music but no video.
If I start kodi 14 instead of xbmc 13.2 I can't see the airplay device on my iphone at all.
I currently have no idea why I can see the airplay device at xbmc 13.2 and not on kodi alpha from today.
AVAHI deamon is running.
Is there any other requirement that I have to fulfill?
Thanks for the great work at all.
Regards
kaminkehrer
