[mythtv-users] How-to AirPlay question

[A Desai]

After installing "avahi-utils" - when I give "avahi-browse -a" command, I
now see airplay being enabled. On my iTunes, I do see now the icon. I am
not home, but this looks very promising.

I had to do "git pull", then just for the heck of it, i did a disctlean and
reconfigured, compiled - and it seems good so far. Will send out an updated
email once I am home.

A rather stupid question -- "Where" do I need to be on mythtv when I am
doing airplay? Like, do I need to be on "Play Music" when trying to do
music? Or "Watch Recordings" when I am trying to push a video from my
iPhone?

Thanks,

Ash
