Enable & Set Up AirPlay Server in XBMC on a Mac or PC
This will be the same for Mac OS X, Linux, or Windows:
- Get the latest version of XBMC (free)
- Launch XBMC and scroll over to “System”
- Choose “Settings” from the submenu and click on “Network”
- Scroll down and find “Allow XBMC to receive AirPlay content”, click the dot next to it so that it’s blue
- Optionally, set an AirPlay password (this is largely unnecessary for private networks)
Export AirPlay Video to XBMC from an iPhone or iPad
Now from the iOS device:
- Start playing a video as usual from a variety of video apps
- Tap the video to show the control bar, then tap the AirPlay icon
- Look for “XBMC (Computer Name)” and tap on it to begin AirPlaying the video
Unfortunately XBMC will only accept non-DRM video to be shown with AirPlay, meaning some trailers within Trailers app and a fair amount of content downloaded from iTunes won’t show up at all. You’ll know instantly if it’s working or not because the video either works or it doesn’t within XBMC.
