XBMC version:12.2
Overclock settings:xbian

I have updated the whole system.
The airplay icon doesnt appear on my ios 7, 5 and itunes.
Dbus and avahi daemon are running. zerconf is on. But automatic setup of xbmcremote didnt work too.

[Alexandros04]

some extra info, airplay didn't work on openelec neither did it on xbian 1.0 beta2.
This morning, suddenly it worked for like 5 minutes, andthenit was lost. also I noticed that xbmcremote sometimes just loses connection onmy ipad. Also airplay didn't show up on my ios 7 device, only on the ipad with ios 5

if not yet, update
xbian-package-shairplay package to latest (1.0.2)

[Alexandros04]

I have all the updates. I have now figuren out that AirPlay announcment doesnt work with my ethernet connection. Cause when I connect my laptop via ethernet, xbmc AirPlay doesnt work either, only when my laptop is om wifi. So the problem is my router, any suggestions?

[mk01]

what is your content of /etc/default/avahi-daemon ?

is AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL 0 or 1 ?

[Alexandros04]

so I set up SSH from an external ip, it says 0. Should I change this?

[Alexandros04]

I changed it to 1 it didn't work either. I did some extra testing:
- Rasp Pi xbian and ethernet conenction, laptop newest iTunes ethernet connection, no AirPlay with AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL 0 and 1
- Rasp Pi xbian and ethernet connection, iPhone 5 iOS7.1 and iPad 1 iOS 5.1.1, no AirPlay with AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL 0 and 1
- Laptop with wifi connection XBMC 12.3, iPhone 5 iOS 7.1 iPad 1 iOS 5.1.1 and newest iTunes, AirPlay working!
- Laptop with ethernet connection XBMC 12.3, iPhone 5 iOS 7.1 iPad 1 iOS 5.1.1 AirPlay not working. (As for iTunes, I don't remember if it worked, will check it as soon as I get home.)

I scanned my xbmc logfile, noticed two warinings:
13:47:41 T:3041759776 WARNING: AIRTUNES: Error initialising IPv6 socket 97
13:47:41 T:3041759776 WARNING: AIRTUNES: Continuing without IPv6 supp
also, some DBus warnings, should I post them?

[mk01]

you can try ipv6 if you want:

Code:

modprobe ipv6

what is output of

Code:

netstat -l

book is mac or windows with itunes? if mac, what version? 10.9,10.8,10.7 ?

if the errors from DBUS are related to UDISKS, don't send them. otherwise post.

Got a new router from my serviceprovider today, AirPlay seems to work fine. I haven't tested it yet, but I see the icon appear on my itunes via teamviewer. Will report back as soon as I do a test.

[Alexandros04]

Works now, topic can be closed

[mk01]

so router was blocking broadcast packets ?

interesting, but not impossible.

[Alexandros04]

Yess it was the fault of the router. It was an ubeee
