The fundamental fixes for Airplay proved to be these for me:
• Apple ONLY Airplay receivers. Low end AirPlay compatible stuff proved very unreliable. Connected by Ethernet when possible. (No experience with high-end AirPlay compatible devices, like stereo receivers.)
• Replace my Airport-based WiFi with
a UniFi WiFi AP. While the quality of the equipment might be the same, the UniFi stuff has much more power. (Bonus: there's the UniFi plugin for Indigo.)
Since I've done these things, AirPlay troubleshooting has dropped from something I had to mess with every week to something that happens about once a quarter.
