Windows 7 VM
iPhone 4S with 7.0.4
Testbuild 1:
4. monitor symbol
5. yes
6. only pictures
7. yes
Testbuild 2
4 .monitor
5. yes
6. I can show pictures but not videos
7. Songs don't play, but after I restart XBMC I get the speaker icon and they play, but they stop like buffering.
Testbuild 3
4. monitor
5. yes
6. pictures but not videos
7. no
Also on testbuild 3 I'm not getting everytime xbmc into the Airplay devices.
On the first testbuild I don't have that mirroring option, on the other it is available but useless.
If I'll have time this weekend I'll compile these 3 tests on Slackware and give it another try.

I tried to build these test versions on an ubuntu 13.10 but I couldn't get the library dependancies right. I however managed to arranged a Windows 7 x64 Sp1 machine to install the test builds you provide and tested all of them using iPhone 5S, iPhone 4S, iPad Air and MacBook Pro. Here are the test results:
0. Testbuild 1: version
1. iPhone 5S
2. 7.0.4
3&4: Monitor shows up in iPhone (Audio & Video)
5. Using YouTube App: Both Video and Audio work fine for various formats (SD/HD). The Volume is not to be controlled over the airplay (using the volume buttons).
6. Picture AirPlay works fine.
7. Music AirPlay works fine. The Volume is to be controlled over the airplay.
Additionally:
- Music AirPlay combined with Picture AirPlay (run first Music AirPlay and meanwhile run Picture AirPlay): Works; the music stutters a couple of times in the beginning and then runs fine. Controlling the volume goes fine; if I end the Picture AirPlay, the volume jumps to maximum (loud) and gets back to normal as soon as the volume button is pushed on the iPhone.
- AirPlay Mirroring showed up in iPhone once and when enabled, XBMC crashed.

I don't know if it could be helpful somehow:
OSX 10.8.4 + XBMC 12.2 plain vanilla + iphone4 + iOS 7.0.4 = everything works
Same setup as above but with iPhone 4S was audio only (until wifi went bananas and iPhone was sent to repair).

Hi Memphiz,
Here are my test results...
Server: MacOS 10.7.5
Routers: Apple Time Capsule & Airport Extreme, restarted before each change of build
Clients tested: iPad3 & iPhone4S on iOS 7.04, reset before each test (i.e. hold home button + power)
Testbuild 1, iPad:
XBMC shows up as audio only target (speaker symbol)
Audio streaming works
Testbuild 1, iPhone:
XBMC initially showed up as full target (monitor symbol) from the main menu, but had changed to a speaker symbol by the time I started YouTube
Audio streaming works
Testbuild 2, iPad:
XBMC shows up as full target (monitor symbol)
Video streaming works
Audio streaming works
Photo streaming worked briefly, then XBMC changed to a speaker symbol
Testbuild 2, iPhone:
XBMC shows up as full target (monitor symbol)
Video streaming works
Audio streaming did not work, stopped player, XBMC changed to a speaker symbol, audio streaming worked.
Restarted XBMC, still showed as speaker symbol
Testbuild 3, iPad:
XBMC does not show up at all
Testbuild 3, iPhone:
XBMC shows up as full target (monitor symbol)
Video streaming works
Audio streaming did not work, able to select XBMC server but airplay deselected automatically
Photo streaming sort-of works: pictures appear, but one away from the one displayed on the iPhone
The results seemed a bit random, so happy to repeat the tests if needed. Hope this helps!

Testbuild 2 seemed to be the most consisent for me. Both 1 and 3 had odd behavior
testbuild 1
1. Which iDevice from Apple are you using (iPad2, iPad3, iPhone4s and so on)
ipad2
iphone5
2. Which exact iOS version are you running on that device (e.x. 7.0.4)
ipad2=7.0
iphone5=7.0.3
3. Does XBMC show up as an audio only target in the airplay selection (speaker symbol)
ipad2= intermitently, it's a speaker and sometimes it's the tv. if i restart xbmc or wait a few minutes it will sometimesswitch to tv, restarting xbmc seems to help this. oddly my openelec raspberry pi was showing up the same way so maybe broadcast issue (it's been working)
iphone5=intermitently, it's a speaker and sometimes it's the tv. if i restart xbmc or wait a few minutes it will sometimesswitch to tv, restarting xbmc seems to help this. oddly my openelec raspberry pi was showing up the same way so maybe broadcast issue (it's been working)
4. Or does XBMC show up as full target in the airplay selection (monitor symbol)
ipad2=yes, see #3
iphone5=yes, see #3
5. If the latter - does airplaying videos work? (please use the youtube.app for testing - don't post issues with other video apps for now)
ipad2=yes
ipone5=yes - mostly worked good but had some ad skip hiccups with youtube app and buffered a few times...could have been wifi and app acting up a bit(not first time I've seen the ad skip issue)
6. Does airplaying pictures work? (use the photo app or the camera roll please for this test)
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes
7. Does airplaying music work? (don't post if the music stutters or what - as long as the music comes out of XBMC - it is considered "working")
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes
testbuild 2
1. Which iDevice from Apple are you using (iPad2, iPad3, iPhone4s and so on)
2. Which exact iOS version are you running on that device (e.x. 7.0.4)
ipad2=7.0
iphone5=7.0.3
3. Does XBMC show up as an audio only target in the airplay selection (speaker symbol)
ipad2=no
iphone5=no
4. Or does XBMC show up as full target in the airplay selection (monitor symbol)
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes (only issue was showing up as audio only after watching youtube on ipad, turned off ipad wifi and iphone saw full video target, maybe would've cleared itself after a few minutes)
5. If the latter - does airplaying videos work? (please use the youtube.app for testing - don't post issues with other video apps for now)
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes
6. Does airplaying pictures work? (use the photo app or the camera roll please for this test)
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes
7. Does airplaying music work? (don't post if the music stutters or what - as long as the music comes out of XBMC - it is considered "working")
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes
testbuild 3
1. Which iDevice from Apple are you using (iPad2, iPad3, iPhone4s and so on)
ipad2
iphone5
2. Which exact iOS version are you running on that device (e.x. 7.0.4)
ipad2=7.0
iphone5=7.0.3
3. Does XBMC show up as an audio only target in the airplay selection (speaker symbol)
ipad2=no
iphone5=no
4. Or does XBMC show up as full target in the airplay selection (monitor symbol)
ipad2=yes, airplay seemed to crash though eventually and had to reboot everything to get it back
iphone5=yes
5. If the latter - does airplaying videos work? (please use the youtube.app for testing - don't post issues with other video apps for now)
ipad2=yes
iphone5=yes
6. Does airplaying pictures work? (use the photo app or the camera roll please for this test)
ipad2=sort of - would be 1-2 pictures off from what was on the screen. Not all pictures did this but was pretty consistent
iphone5=sort of - would be 1-2 pictures off from what was on the screen. Not all pictures did this but was pretty consistent
7. Does airplaying music work? (don't post if the music stutters or what - as long as the music comes out of XBMC - it is considered "working")

drpepper99 please don't update your devices for now - you have important versions for this test (most already have 7.0.4).
I plan do make another testbuild based on the collected statistics here in a couple of days (hope i come to it - christmas pressure...)

I have updated the first post with a testbuild4 which combines the testbuild1 and testbuild2 as those seem to have given the best results (still dissappointing though as there doesn't seem to be a clear dependency from the statistics...).
Please test testbuild4 @all.

Still inconsistent between wifi toggles. First time checking is (always?) full target, but random after that.
Testbuild 4:
1. iphone5
2. 7.0.4
3/4. audio-only: 7; full (w/ mirroring toggle): 3
5. yes
6. yes
7. yes

I agree with Edwr. Behaviour of build 4 seems to be same as build 2: Shows up as full target after you start XBMC, but changes back to audio-only after some time.
Switching off/on "Allow XBMC to receive AirPlay content" seems to (temporarily) solve the issue.
