AirPlay alternative???

FensterB · 2012-04-10 04:39

Hey guys, since AirPlay music is not supported in Eden, does anyone know of an alternative that can run simultaneously with xbmc to allow AirPlay music playback while xbmc is still full screen? Basically my htpc is feeding a whole house audio amp and would like the airplay features.

Thanks!

Just wondering if this works, as in you start up shairport4w and open XBMC, will it start playing the music when pushed from the iphone?

Shairport4w is independent from XBMC. It will play the music pushed from your iPhone no matter if XBMC is installed or not (and if it is, it won't play it through XBMC but directly through Shairport4w).
