Give us airplay fixed 3.2.5 please. My girl friend killing me about this issue

This is such a usefull feature. I can not understand why this is not available as a small update if there is a fix available that really works.
The people from openelec could even release 3.2.4.1 to include that fix, if there is any. But I am in doubt also: Noone really confirms there is such a fix.
About 50 pages threads are full with people who tested several different things, some claim that they found a solution but obviously only for their specific setup or not reliable in long terms.

I did absolutely everything right. The issue is not fixed in the dev build like the mod keeps recommending to everyone. It doesnt work and just waits time.

I'm running OpenELEC on my Raspberry Pi type B. I tried both OpenELEC and Raspbmc install, but whenever I switch on the Airplay receiver in XBMC settings, both iOS6 and iOS7 sees it as sound receiver only.

Is there a fix for this problem?A.F.

I faced the same problem with the same set of hardware. What helped was switching off wifi repeater I had in the network. Without repeater everything works properly.

Please confirm what build you were running? Also what version of iOS?

I am having the same issue and none of the suggested fixes seem to work.

I have 3.2.4 ion build installed on an Acer Revo.

The internet and all the forums are full of people who inist that they have it working, but I suppose this is only a "tested one time and worked one time with a lot of luck" situation.
There ARE situations where it works. Obviously Apple changed something in the announcement behaviour for AirPlay and also the frame structure of the protocol itself got changed.
And because of that it can not work reliable for a longer time. There are beta and dev releases with testing version 1-9, but in the end none of them worked.

We have to wait I think. Right now there is no working solution. People have tested any combination.

I think you're right...

I did some further testing (3.2.4 Frodo on an Revo), and it did work sometimes. Seems like I would have to switch wifi on my Apple device off and on again. Sometimes If I had tried to use airplay before toggling the wifi, I would have to close out that app as well. Mirroring definitely doesn't work no matter what I do (not sure if that ever worked though).

I would say it works, sometimes, if you fiddle with it a bit. I hope when different dev teams test this feature, they put it through the paces and not just a "worked once" situation.

Having said that, it's free... can't really complain.

Hi,

I have the same problem with amazon Lovefilm. With my RPI OpenElec 3.2.4 only the sound is played via airplay and on my atom ion based sysem the playblack is refused completly. Other videos can be played without a problem.

Is the airplay issue perhaps fixed on a nightly build openelec?

Does anybody knows a knows an xbmc addon, which can be use with the amazon lovefilm streaming service?
