This is pretty cool. I'm able to beam music from my phone to my pi unfortunately the video isn't working. Might Be something to do with my I3 window manager having it run behind my terminal. The tutorial I was following said to install some other app in pikiss under the other category but when I was looking for it It wasn't there, It had been replaced for uxplay. The default setup didn't work for me so uninstalled and reinstalled it from apt. It was missing some Gstreamer libraries and once I got those installed it worked fine.
Its also important to note that the raspberry pi struggles with video because by default it wants to outpute a huge resolution so thats why there are some optimizations in that bash alias
This is what I added to my .bashrc to trigger airplay:
# airplay
alias airplay='uxplay -n "RaspberryAirPlay" -s 1600x900@45 -fps 45 -vd v4l2h264dec -vc v4l2convert -vs autovideosink -as alsasink'
