    Im not a very good developer, but those of you who are, is this something a simple add on will fix, or do you think this would require system level access?? If it is a simple app, i really hope someone can help work on it, thanks!

    I've created an external solution to make media playing software Airplay compatible. Currently XBMC, Plex and Boxee are supported.

    It's a python script which can run on OSX, Linux and Windows. It has a few python dependencies and for Linux and Windows requires a Bonjour compatible DNS library. The code is hosted on Github, check out the README and INSTALL files to see how to get going, it's pretty easy.

    Source on Github, direct download here.

    There's no need to have another computer running, this software is meant to be run on the computer that is running Boxee. Seriously, checkout the readme. No need for such an attitude.

    To clarify, by external I meant that it's not a Boxee plugin or something but it's a standalone script which communicates to Boxee through the webinterface.
    If you're looking for a single click option then this is not for you. But it isn't that complex either.

    My impression is that what people want to do is to play something on an iPod and the sound comes out of the Boxee Box. Is that right, and does this "external solution" make that happen? If so, how?
