Have been an avid user of XBMC.
Currently have Eden RC2 running on OpenELEC r10162 on Acer Revo RL100.
Works great (apart from some minor increase in the amount of buffering when playing hight bit-rate videos but that's another story).
I digress..the issue is Airplay does not work.
In Settings -> Network Service, it is enabled (so is Zeroconf).
xbmc.log shows that airplay server is started.
But when an iPhone is plays a video or shows a photo, there's NO Airplay icon on the iPhone to send the video or photo to XBMC.
Yes I have searched many threads hear and at the OpenELEC site but there's no conclusive threads that says - this is exactly how Airplay should work. Many folks claim thatir just works - mostly are Windows based XBMC'ers not Linux.
Most have given up ...as evident of threads that just die without resolution.
There very little knowledge shared at the OE site regarding this issue.
So ...how does one go about about debugging the issue ?
What logs (apart from xbmc.log) should we be looking for ?
What processes and apps should be running ?
How to tell is the server sees the iPhone client ?
Here's a snippet of the log:

Anyone any experience to help fix (relay back to the devs what they need to fix) ?
