I have done a little reading and can see a few people having issues with this but can at least get some parts working. I can get any airplay function to show up.

If you don't even see XBMC as a target on the devices you want to stream from:
Did you install avahi-daemon as mentioned in the airplay wiki:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Air...quirements

... cause without that, the airplay service won't be announced on your network, and thus won't apear on your devices.

Code:
12:39:39 T:2843720560   DEBUG: CZeroconfAvahi::doPublishService: client not running, queued for publishing

the avahi is not running. If this is xbmcbuntu then imho its a wrong default (this should be working without interaction of the user).

Code:
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start

something like that...

this is what i get after running the code above: Still no airplay.

trent_mackness@XBMC:~$ /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service avahi-daemon start

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start avahi-daemon
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.25" (uid=1000 pid=1596 comm="start avahi-daemon ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
