Been using this plugin for the last day or so and thought I'd share, its great for viewing pictures / videos from your iphone or android device (with the right software for android) and you can even listen to your music through your tv / surround sound wirelessly via your dreambox etc :) Ive personally been using it with my iphone 5 and dm800se to watch youtube vids (and clip hunter;))

once the airplay software is running on the stb you just tell your iphone to use airplay via enigma 2 and your stuff will pop up on the tv after a few seconds of buffering :Clap:

Watch out though, the official youtube app doesnt work properly as it requires mirroring but m.youtube works and personally I use a much better youtube client called Jasmine which is full screen on iphone 5 and much cleaner :)

Been trying to get this to work on a DM800 (non SE) with the latest DBUK image

It installs but then when you reboot and try and go into the plugin menu you get dependency errors

I have tried installing all the dependencies that people have advised on other sites but haven’t had much luck :-(

Has anyone actually got this to work on a non SE model ?? and if so what the hell do you need to install ??
 
I've only got the app working on an 800se but i cant believe it wont work on a standard 800hd?!
 
tried a few time on the 800hd and it didnt work ., worked first time on the se box
 
Yer done both:

opkg install python-shell
opkg install python-misc

and re-booted and then installed Airplayer but still getting the same dependancy issues when going into the plugin menu (I cant remember off the top of my head the exact error now will check when I get home)
 
Actually looking at other sites these are the 2 different errors I was getting

Extension/Airplayer "No module named plistlib"

or

Extension/Airplayer "No module named shutil"

I added/removed multiple add-ons trying to get it to work so going to try again on a fresh install tonight
 
this is the version I installed, worth a try? :)

Working now :)

Clean install of DBUK 2.1.2 then had to install python-shell from and ipk as opkg couldnt find it from the feeds

Just tested streaming The Sweeney screener from itunes on my macbook and working perfectly
 
Nice one :) personally I've got it set to stream to the USB stick so the hdd isn't having to spin up, it helps keep things running smoothly, also you can turn that 'air player has started' message off so that might be worth thinking about :)

I haven't got a HDD installed or any USB drives connected and is still working fine albeit with a low space warning, i'm amazed been messing around setting up openelec xbmc on an old netbook so I could connect it to my TV for this exact purpose !!!

That can be moved to the bedroom now so can use it as a front end to stream the dreambox and anything else I want over Airplay :)
 
Keep an eye on your internal memory then mate as it caches to your memory and I've noticed a few times that its left YouTube videos on the box. They are in .ts format

I also dont have a hdd installed. do you simply set the path to usb or media/usb ?
 
couldn't edit my post !!??

anyway, set path to /media/usb/ and it seems to be working fine.

Can anyone explain how to do this. I have a Duo and can't for the life of me change the path from HDD to USB!!!
Thanking you all in advance.

Go into the plugins settings and where it says /hdd/ use the remotes buttons to delete the text hdd and type in /media/usb/

You can't just change it you have to type it in, there's a new beta out so I don't know if they changed it so you can select a path as it seems a bit silly.

Thanks buts that's the problem. What key is it to delete characters. I've tried every button known to man to no avail.

Thanks for the previous reply.
