Nope, that is unchecked.  BTW, "AirPlay full screen playback" is also 
unchecked.

Each machine seems to have one entry:

$ mysql5 -h 192.168.2.222 -u mythtv -p -e "SELECT hostname,data FROM 
settings WHERE value='AirPlayId';" mythconverg
Enter password:

I don't know what to say.  It was working for me but now it's 
not...more correctly, parts are working and other parts not.  Maybe 
some more people can report their experiences and we either figure 
out what I/we need to do differently.  Or maybe there is some bit of 
code that needs to be tweaked to work in different cases, no?
