I haven’t tried AirPlay since iOS 9 came out (and little with iOS 8), but...

Sounds odd, but make sure the frontend has been running for a few minutes before trying AirPlay.  Sometimes takes a while for the registration to complete.

Try playing music via AirPlay; this has been the most reliable airplay function for years.

Try showing photos on the frontend via AirPlay.

I see that there are a couple of open tickets related to AirPlay but I don’t see an obvious connection to your issue:

Later today, I’ll check my system.
