That fixed it for a bit. Now it stoped working again, saying the same thing:

this is the full log:

Did it not save my settings I changed or something?

Did you restart your computer You have to make the start of the deamon sticky. (not sure how to do that on xbmcbuntu). Maybe some linux dev or linux user could jump in here now.

Yeh I did restart. Explains it at least.

If this is a standard XBMCBunutu install it should start automatically.

I've just done a fresh install to test this and it seems to start fine:

I too have found that AirPlay is no longer functional, using both Eden-Final-PVR and the Update-1 build I just updated to, on my Ubuntu 11.10 system. XBMC is simply not appearing as a target for my phone.

I followed the advice in this thread and checked whether the avahi-daemon is active, which it is. I also restarted it just to make sure. Here are the relevant lines from the log when I restarted the service:


Still nothing

ensure that xbmc and the iphone are on the same subnet in your network ... else they won't see each other...

iPhone is 192.168.0.2, XBMC box is 192.168.0.7 and nothing has changed in that respect from before when it worked. Is there a way to test AirPlay to make sure it's responding appropriately?

Restarting the router fixed this. Not sure why, but there you go.

Code:

@MicroServer:~$ /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon status
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service avahi-daemon status

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the status(8) utility, e.g. status avahi-daemon
avahi-daemon start/running, process 850

I did a clean install as well and it still does not start automatically. What do you meen with using service(8) utility not sure how to do that?
