Airplay not working at all

Try this one:

Code:

sudo update-rc.de avahi-daemon defaults

this should tell ubuntu to start the daemon on boot.

trent_mackness@XBMC:~$ sudo update-rc.de avahi-daemon defaults
sudo: update-rc.de: command not found

try without that .de thing (sudo update-rc avahi-daemon defaults)

You ever noticed autocompletion? You can type "update" followed by hitting the tab key twice and it will expand all possible commands which start with the word update.

Memphiz,

The avahi deamon should be running by default on xbmcbuntu;

Code:

xbmc@live:~$ ps -eaf | grep ava

avahi     1075     1  0 10:28 ?        00:00:00 avahi-daemon: running [live.local]

avahi     1086  1075  0 10:28 ?        00:00:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper

Maybe the avahi deamon has been stopped or crashed?

Seems to work for him when he starts it manually. Good to know that it doesn't seem to be a general issue with xbmcbuntu then.

I had the very same problem... worked once i started it manually. Ran the command for registering on startup now, hope that helps.
(XBMCbuntu, eden on ASRock 330)

any more ideas cause it still will not automatically start the daemon when the computer boots.

thanks

i did what you said with udate (tab twice) and there was a "update-rc.d" command so i used that withing the previous code and got this.

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon missing LSB information
update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon already exist.

went to the site but doesnt really make much sense to me ;(

Which command worked for you to register on startup?

**Memphiz** · 2012-04-20 09:53

looks like it should already startup on boot for you (thats what the "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon already exist." means).

No clue whats up there. I quit supporting here now, since linux is not my system. Really wondering why not someone of the linux devs jumps in here :/

tmacka88 · 2012-05-03 13:34

Anyone else have any other ideas how to fix this. The only way i get it to work is manually

Code:

sudo service avahi-daemon start

every time I want to use Airplay with XBMC.

Hasnt anyone els had this issue cause I have done 4-5 clean installs and everytime same problem. Could it be something on my motherboard BIOS?

cheers
