[mythtv-users] Is mythfrontend's AirPlay support supposed to be audio-only or audio-and-video?

For the time being.

With iOS 5.1.1, the only work around I can provide for the time being
is: before selecting mythtv as the airplay device, pause the playback.
Select the airplay device, playback will then start.

That way the iOS device only attempt to start video.

My guess is that they are running raop first to minimise latency
start, getting audio to play before the video is ready. Which is a
flawed concept to start with, RAOP has a minimum of 1.7s latency,
video + audio can start much faster than that. So their fix fix
nothing at all in our case.

I guess for playback of http live stream it would make sense, it
allows the video device to buffer some content first and in the mean
time play audio while seeking.

But myth doesn't support http live stream..
