asked for an ETA via Twitter, he said he'll be releasing an alpha version this week.

It's not that hard, I just played with php and make this possible:
http://www.twitvid.com/ORKK0

I tested it only with youtube (why does it not work for the other one?). That works great, but alot problems, can't wait for the alpha Tongue

oh and also the picture vieuwer works, but I don't know how I can let xbmc show a picture via json-rpc Tongue

@Blieb, care to share your php code? Would be interesting to see how you'd implement it using php! (ps; dutch?)

@Blieb, I would also like to take a look at your code if possible, please Smile

Thanks!

Sure, but is it very buggy, I think this is not a good language voor making airplay in it.

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/* Allow the script to hang around waiting for connections. */
set_time_limit(0);

/* Turn on implicit output flushing so we see what we're getting
 * as it comes in. */
ob_implicit_flush();

$sendok = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Length: 0\n\n";

$address = '192.168.0.60';
$port = 22555;

if (($sock = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP)) === false) {
    echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) . "\n";
}

if (socket_bind($sock, $address, $port) === false) {
    echo "socket_bind() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock)) . "\n";
}

if (socket_listen($sock, 5) === false) {
    echo "socket_listen() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock)) . "\n";
}

do {
    if (($msgsock = socket_accept($sock)) === false) {
        echo "socket_accept() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($sock)) . "\n";
        break;
    }
    /* Send instructions. */

    do {
        if (false === ($buf = socket_read($msgsock, 2048, PHP_NORMAL_READ))) {
            echo "socket_read() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error($msgsock)) . "\n";
            break;
        }

            continue;

        if ($expl[0] == "Start-Position:") { 
                $postition = $expl[1];
                echo "- Ik moet $url spelen!";
                startvideo($url);
                socket_write($msgsock, $sendok);
        }

        if ($expl[0] =="User-Agent:") {
                echo substr($cmd, 0,6);

                        socket_write($msgsock, $sendok);

                if (substr($cmd, 0,6) == "/scrub") {
                        socket_write($msgsock, $sendok);

socket_close($sock);

}
?>

avahi service file:

Code:

<service-group>

<name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>

<service>

<type>_airplay._tcp</type>

<port>22555</port>

</service>

</service-group>

I was running the script on a other computer than xbmc is running. when used for photo's it saves photo to /var/www/test.jpg but I dit not know how to show it in xbmc.

I know it is crapy code. but it was just for testing. It should be written in a real language Tongue

What about support for xbmc-to-ATV2G airplay. Is there hope for this? That would make these tiny black boxes do something useful. =)

Thanks @Blieb, that's very interesting - thanks for sharing.

JaccoH · 2010-12-21 20:37

@Blieb I've tried your code. It works. As far as I can tell only from youtube videos on my iPhone though. I would love for this to support audio as well. Would that be hard?
