You don't need to snark that you "can't be bothered anymore"--I 
didn't hold a gun to your head and say that you couldn't go to bed 
until this was fixed.  If you haven't noticed, I've put a fair amount 
of time into trying to puzzle out why this feature isn't working for 
me, too.  The 0.27 Release Notes highlight "AirPlay photo sharing and 
AirTunes visual playback" as "Key New Features".  Is it impertinent 
of me to try to determine why they're not working for me?  The usual 
rule of thumb is that, at most, 1 out of 10 people with a particular 
problem will bother to report it.  At least 3 of us have had a 
less-than-perfect experience with AirPlay.  Do you want to hear about 
problems or drive the ratio to 0 of 10?

Nonetheless, I do apologize as I mistook the IPv6 address for a MAC 
address.  I have no idea where IPv6 is coming from; I didn't think my 
router had any IPv6 capability.

In place of each <MAC address> above, substitute fe80:216:cbff:feab:7c39 .

You didn't mention AirTunes in your previous email so I wasn't sure 
if you expected to see different entries there or not.  The Myth 
AirTunes entry has the same IP addresses (both v4 and v6) as for the 
Myth AirPlay entry but on port 5000.  The Marantz is at 
192.168.2.254:1029.  The Marantz has no IPv6 address listed.  Do you 
really need the rest of the (extensive) AirTunes info?

Now, in the category of "what the H#ll?!?", Videos that would not 
play yesterday now play with audio and video.  Photo AirPlay still 
doesn't.  I have changed NO network settings, phone settings or Myth 
settings.
