This video shows xbmc as an airplay target. The hack is actually running on a Ubuntu Box. It involves XBMC (of course), Avahi for broadcasting the airplay service and a custom python script which handles the interaction with the iPad.
What's currently _not_ working:
*) when re-watching a video, xbmc ask if it shall continue on the last postion or start over. Don't know how to tell xbmc to start at a gvien position without user interaction.
*) does not work in youtube app: xbmc does not know how to handle the youtube URI

Code is available: http://code.google.com/p/play2wifi/

Thx for your comments and your support

  • can i install this to Ubuntu 10.10?

  • @GrabberCast yes you can. However this code is just a prove of concept. If you really plan to use it on a regular basis have a look at PascalW/Ariplayer at GitHub. His code is much nicer and easier to setup.

  • Funktioniert das Script auch unter XBMC Windows? Wenn ja, wie stell ich das an?

  • @Chilled106 Yes the script should work under Windows if the dependencies are installed (Twisted framework, don't know about xbmc-eventclients-xbmc-send). Eventually you can replace the calls to xbmc-send by calls to the web API.

    However in order to get everything up and running you still need an implementation of Bonjour (Avahi on linux) and configure it accordingly to the service script which comes with the script. Here again I've no idea how to setup and configure Bonjour under windows.

  • Super sache! Wie siehts denn aus mit Fotos, kann man die auch auf den Bildschirm schicken?

    Kann man helfen?

  • @BernhardRode No photos actually and no iTunes. This would need further investigation. I think the protocol is slightly different from the video protocol.

    Actually I've no plans to implement this. But I think it's very possible to do the necessary reverse engineering. Half a day for the reverse enginnering plus half a day for the python implementation.

see all

  • Smood. Plus snygg tjej ju.

  • I'm getting an error on osx about pybonjore or something can someone help?

  • @beluchi852  it's the xbmc pvr testing branch installed together with tvheadend. To use it simply add the following repository to your apt:

    ppa:lars-opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr

    Cheers

  • How do you get the "Live TV" option on your home screen?
