Just successfully installed xbmc Eden on my iPad 3. However I am trying to AirPlay on my apple tv 3 but I don't see the airplay icon in the app.
Hope someone can help me
Thx

Well I tried that method but the resolution is not in HD. It only mirrors.

The switch is available with the volume and brightness controller in the bottom when you double click.
Quote:Features and known issues
An AirPlay password can be optionally set.
All platforms support video (without DRM, meaning videos downloaded from the iTunes store will not play in XBMC). Audio within the video will also work on all platforms.
All platforms support pictures.
All platforms except Windows support music (with or without DRM). Windows will be supported when libshairport is ported to Win32. (Shairport4w can be used in the background as a workaround to get music support in Windows)
AirPlay mirroring is currently unsupported.
Videos recorded from an iDevice might not display with the correct rotation. Support for this is planned for later.

In theory XBMC should be able to mirror it's output to the Apple TV 3 (or the native AirPlay server on the ATV2) since the APIs used for the video out cable also work with mirroring (or something like that). However, it has not been tested yet.
I have one theory that someone might try:
1. Make sure you are using a nightly build of XBMC
2. Before opening XBMC, double tap the home button to bring up the App Switcher, slide over to expose the volume control and AirPlay icon.
3. Select the Apple TV 2/3, which should start generic mirroring
4. Now open XBMC, then go to Settings/System/Video output (wiki) and try selecting "Full screen #2" under "Display Mode"

Works just fine, but is the Resolution really the same as on iPad? If so this is a nice workaround for atv3 owners!
