Airplay not working

[mehlvogel]

Scanning through the aforementioned thread, to work around the situation you can first install the package avahi-utils.
Make sure you see your Xbian listed in the list of AirPlay devices as just a audio sink (AirTunes) and then use the following command:

avahi-publish -s "iXBMC" _airplay._tcp 36667 "deviceid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" "features=0x77" "model=AppleTV3,2" "srcvers=101.28" &

In which you can replace "iXBMC" by the name you want your XBian to appear on the device and the XX:...:XX part by the mac address of eth0 (use ifconfig to find that one out).
If you want to put this into a start script, make sure to wait until XBMC has sent the first announcement (so put a sleep for 15 or 20 seconds into the script).
