I am guessing I still need to fix something, but the last post gave me
enough information to realize that I didn't have ahavi set up.  I
installed and started the daemon and now I see an airplay icon on my
ipad and iphone and can choose "Mythtv on localhost.localdomain" but
if I choose that it basically pauses the content and does not play it
on any device.
