Hello,
I installed the xbian beta 2 on my new Raspberry Pi. The main purpose of my Raspberry Pi is to act as a "Streaming receiver". I activated DLNA/UPNP and Airplay in the settings of xbian.

I can stream from my Windows 8 Notebook to xbian via DLNA, using a YouTube App.
I cannot stream from my iPad to xbian via Airplay, using the YouTube App.

I have an iPad Mini with iOS 7 and the official YouTube App. I can select xbian in the YouTube App, but the Video does not Show up on TV

Any ideas what could be the Problem?

thanks in advance

A fix has been found and we are working on it, will keep you updated

@Elemental

there is new package of airplay and xbmc in the staging area to try.

IOS6 -> XBIAN works - audio and also youtube tested.

IOS7 (I don't upgraded any of my devices so can't test).

(my beloved test video: http://youtu.be/9I8VXgiGqF4)

thx!
Since I am a newbie to xbmc: Where can I find the "staging area"?

you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add

then run "sudo apt-get update" and all the "newer" packages not yet released to stable will be available for install for xbian-config (in shell or xbmc), or just "apt-get upgrade"

second option would be get the packages manually from http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/staging/ with wget and install with dpkg like this

dpkg -i *.deb

Hi,
Just trying to install the fix with wget but getting a 404 on the shairplay package.
Is there an alternate link or a different fix for Airplay now?

Thanks.

Ah, found the package in the stable area (http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/stable/main/x/xbian-package-shairplay/xbian-package-shairplay_1.0_armhf.deb)
Airplay works flawlessly now on iOS 7.0.4.
Thanks!

I've done tests on Android and it seems to work perfectly.

so I can rollout shairplay && xbmc-2.9-10.18 to stable ?

I've only tried on Android - so if you've done the other fruits, then it should be good to go.

more then revived AirPlay I wan't to avoid some funny new bugs like non working volume control, or bookmarking crashing xbmc or … don't remember. I run the -18 since it was compiled so 4w and works. but I'm barely representative test group.

For anyone interested this worked for me with IOS7
Thanks!

@all

the patched XBMC and new Airport library have been pushed to stable. So it is now available to every XBian user as simple update.

Hi,

I'm having some minor issues with Airplay again.
After a some time the xbian airplay selection icon reverts to a speaker and not a TV screen, and it doesn't stream at all. It usually works again after restarting Xbian and the iOS device (same issue for iPad and iPhone).
It might seem like it's an XBMC issue according to this: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=179961
Any ideas?

I'm having the same exact issue, just noticed it a few days ago. Any help would be appreciated.
