What mythtv did for fixing their issue is already done in XBMC (handling aes128 chellange messages on all packets not only option packets). So this is a different issue.

Is there any way to personally try this fix with the release version of Frodo for windows? Airplay works when I'm using my iPhone or iTunes on Mountain Lion but I'd love to share general system sounds.

Hrm, I'll check if I find any binaries that are editable in the end version for windows. Otherwise I would have to get the source code, change it there and then compile it myself, right? Any chances that this would be changeable with an advancedsettings.xml or would the proper commands have to be implemented by the XBMC coder team first?

Yes, there should be an editable binary file somwhere in the release version. However, care needs to be taken when editing such binary files. So if you don't fell confident in doing it, ask someone else to provide you with a modified binary.
And yes, the alternative is to compile everything yourself. It can currently not be achieved with advancedsettings.xml (see some post somewhere above this).

Alright then, thanks for your help and your initial discovery. I'll check back as soon as I've tried it.

Thank you very much, your fix also worked on the windows release version. I used HxD to modify the xbmc executable "xbmc.exe". As suggested in your .diff two "AppleTV2,1" entries could be found and changing them together with a restart of XBMC and my Macbook allowed the proper announcement of XBMC as Airplay target in Mac OS X Mountain Lion system settings.
For anyone else who wants to try this: make sure to replace "Apple" with another 5 letter word, otherwise you will change the file size and therefor corrupt the executable.

Memphiz, I was just reading this thread and as I understand it some users have been able to fix the issue by modifying the "AppleTV2,1" string, but you don't think this is the proper solution. I get it, but why don't you make the string configurable via the XBMC settings while you figure out what's the real issue?
This will make things easier to users so that they don't have to compile it themselves or modify the binaries, and it won't create any backwards compatibility issues to other users as you suggested.
What do you think?

Read the thread and you will see that it is hard to incorporate new settings. No doubt the devs don't want too many settings for people to fiddle with - it becomes a config nightmare.
If I have helped you or increased your knowledge, click the 'thumbs up' button to give thanks :) (People with less than 20 posts won't see the "thumbs up" button.)

We have injected the change now into mainline and it should be available in the upcoming nightly builds for you to test. Please report back how it behaves with airplay in general
ATTENTION - please don't spam this thread with issues when running ios 6.1 or newer on the ios client devices (we know that apple changed something in airplay which causes some apps to not work anymore or only stream audio but no video).

does 10.7.5 even support this? I thought apple added this in 10.8 tbh.

Quick update:
The latest update to OSX 10.8.3 seems to have changed something - The top-bar now shows the AirPlay Mirroring to the XBMC. I have yet to try the current XBMC release (without the Airplay change above) to see if this release made them play nice again.
