XBMC apps prevents AirPlay to function? is that true?

The AirPlay feature is not functioning on my new iPad. After Apple support walked me through to reset AppleTV box, iPad Air and even my NetGear wifi router...after all those steps performed, AirPlay feature still not shows up.

My SamSung Smart TV, AppleTV box, iPad Air all are logged in/connected with my home WiFi network.

Normally, when an iPad plays a movie, there should be a AirPlay icon next to 'Play' button, but on my iPad that AirPlay icon never shows up.

Did anyone experience same problem like I'm having now? I want to mirror pictures, movies to SamSung SmartTV using iPad Air via AppleBox.

I suspect that installation of XBCM app prevents AirPlay to function? Is that true?

If I replace my NetGear WiFi router with Apple Extreme, will feature AirPlay work?

Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

David.

What version of iOS on the iPad?

In iOS6, the AirPlay mirror is in the multi-tasking bar.

In iOS7, the AirPlay mirror is in Control Center. Also, all AirPlay controls in iOS7 are moved to control center.

My iPad Air is using IOS7, just bought 2 months ago.

The problem is AirPlay icon does not show up in control center.

That's the problem I'm having and trying to resolve it.

If the AirPlay option does not show in Control Center then the device is not detecting an AirPlay receiver on the network.

Is the iPad actually on Wi-Fi? The same Wi-Fi as the ATV?
