Airplay from OSX - larsrohdin - 4th Jun, 2013 05:14 AM
Hi!
Have installed xbian recently and it runs very nice.
With airplay enabled it works well streaming video from my iOS devices.
However it does not work from my mac. I dont even see the Airplay icon in the menubar of OSX.
What am I missing?
Best regards,
Lars Rohdin
It does work playing audio from iTunes... But display mirroring does not work.
When I tried with airparrot I get the error "Airplay: Connection blocked".

this is not a bug, this is by design. airplay mirroring is not supported.
I;m too sad as well.

Will this ever change, or do we have to live with this?
Hhhhm, check what I found:

I don't exactly know whether the non-existence is a licensing issue, or technical.
But for MACOS there are solutions providing AirPlay with mirroring on MacOSX as a renderer (AirServer for instance - which I was happy to buy).
I would not hesitate to pay for such solution on RPI as well.

Yeah, I use Beamer.app to stream movies from my MBP to the Rpi, that works really well.
I do, however, want to mirror my MBP's screen to the RPi.
I don't think Airserver can do that right?

What I meant is that AirServer can do that (receive AirPlay mirroring) on macosx, so you can send your screens to a device with MacOSX installed.
So technically is possible, probably licensing issue? If you succeed in getting hands on the software, write a report then.

echo.net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1>/etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf
actually this is really first to do for macs and ATV for instance… but not officially known - and Apple is forcing ipv6 very hard by default.
btw: on xbian, ipv6 IS disabled by default by blacklisted ipv6 module in /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.
