- PWiddershoven - 2011-03-12 Unfortunately not, see this. Apperently IOS uses a non standard format of specifying video orientation. - olejon - 2011-03-12 This is just awesome! Excellent piece of work. Just installed on my HTPC running Ubuntu 9.11 (Karmic) with XBMC. Working great showing photos (which is why I use this) and videos (no DRM). Had to install "python-setuptools" and "python-pip" (apt-get install python-setuptools python-pip) to be able to run the pip-command (should be added to the install instructions?) Python 2.6.x on Pin87 image - mattg42 - 2011-03-12 Hi @PWiddershoven Thanks for looking into the effort to port the Python libs to 2.5 and completely understand that isn't a high priority and would take too much time. Do you have any advice whether I (or anyone using the Umbuntu 8.x / Pin87a image on the ATV1) could upgrade to python 2.6 without breaking other scripts? If its just a case of me doing an apt-get , could someone advise me of the commands to upgrade my python to 2.6.x so I can use this great script? Thanks again! - barberio - 2011-03-13 Okay, after experimentation, I've worked out that while it is possible to use the Windows iTunes client as a backend, the dcom interface makes it only barely usable. However, it does provide support for itunes purchases, so long as the iTunes client is authorised. Going to have a crack at the OS X client next, in hopes that it makes for a better backend. Using XBMC or Boxee as the backend for generic media is the way forward, but would it be possible for airplayer to switch to a different backend for encrypted content? This would then allow limited support for itunes purchased content by using a local itunes client as the backend, while still able to use a better system like XBMC for everything else. Here's the experimental windows iTunes client backend, Code: import win32com.client Note: These are the known issues I haven't been able to work around yet.
- Weavus - 2011-03-15 Anyone know which ports I need to open up in Windows firewall to be able to use the Airplayer script? auto start? - Rumik - 2011-03-17 Hi all, I've followed the instructions here: http://htpcbuild.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/get-airplay-working-on-your-xbmc-live-htpc/ and have got the script running, but only when I manually run it through a terminal window. I followed the instructions on starting it automatically every time you boot XBMC but that part of it isn't working. Can anyone help me figure out how to make this auto start? Thanks - krijeck - 2011-03-17 Rumik Wrote:Hi all, Hello! I had the same issue! But when following these instructions: Code: 15. cd /etc/init.d and next sudo chmod +x airplayer There is a remark for making the file airplayer.py execute able ... just make sudo chmod +x airplayer.py in your home folder where the file is located (I guess because I am not in front of my PC now) and then it should work! I think the .py is missing in the manual! then it worked for me! hope that helps ... also installed airvideoenabler thats really cool!!!! - Rumik - 2011-03-17 Hi there, thanks for replying. I'm pretty new to Linux so maybe there's a step I'm missing in the instructions. I've done what you suggested but it hasn't made a difference. I think maybe the problem is with this step: Quote:sudo nano airplayer Edit user (username), group (id username to find out) and path to where the airplayer.py script is located for me it is “/home/tripkip/PascalW-Airplayer-7a7873e/airplayer/airplayer.py” Here's how I've configured it... DAEMON="airplayer/airplayer/airplayer.py" DAEMON_OPTS="-d --pidfile $PIDFILE --logfile $LOGFILE" USER=xbmc GROUP=xbmc My airplayer script is in root/airplayer/airplayer/airplayer.py so that's how I've configured it. I've also tried changing the path to DAEMON="root/airplayer/airplayer/airplayer.py" but that hasn't helped either. Maybe it's this step I'm doing wrong? cd /etc/init.d and next sudo chmod +x airplayer What does and next mean? I assumed it meant type cd /etc/init.d, then press enter, then type sudo chmod +x airplayer but perhaps I'm wrong? As I said I'm/ fairly new to Linux and I'm following these instructions to the letter but perhaps I'm missing something? Any help would be appreciated Thanks - krijeck - 2011-03-18 Rumik Wrote:cd /etc/init.d and next sudo chmod +x airplayer exactly! and next means press enter and next make the sudo chmod +x airplayer command! and actually (as I am not on my home PC) I think here I added the .py .... - Rumik - 2011-03-18 In that case I've followed all the instructions properly and still it's not working the only thing I can think of that still might be wrong are the username, group and/or path. - krijeck - 2011-03-18 Rumik Wrote:In that case I've followed all the instructions properly and still it's not working the only thing I can think of that still might be wrong are the username, group and/or path. curious ... I followed exactly the guide with the only difference of the .py as said before and everything works like a charm! maybe you try to start from scratch and follow exactly the guide ... - Rumik - 2011-03-18 I did just that this morning, this time extracting the zip into the home folder so it's in \home\xbmc\airplayer\airplayer\airplayer.py but it just won't run on boot Is there perhaps a way of using the autoexec to get this script to run on boot? - Ebbo - 2011-03-18 This is so good. I cannot tell you how much I like that! - wgou - 2011-03-21 Hi, I have installed Airplayer on a Mac OS X system and sending photos and video from the photo app, video from itunes app, video from the default video app on my iPhone or iPad works fine. If I try to send music from the iPod app, I do not see the airplay icon. I only see this if I setup shared speakers in the network. Even if I do a slideshow and enable music, the photo's are sent through airplayer to XBMC, but not the music and it plays locally on iPad or iPhone. Any idea's?? - Weavus - 2011-03-21 wgou Wrote:Hi,Music playing is not yet supported. |
