airPlayVideoActive property returns false while between two streams, here is a way to detect airplay in all condition from: http://www.ask-coder.com/3162230/how-to-customize-the-airplay-button-when-airplay-is-active

is_airplay_active.m

- (BOOL)isAirPlayActive{
    CFDictionaryRef currentRouteDescriptionDictionary = nil;
    UInt32 dataSize = sizeof(currentRouteDescriptionDictionary);
    AudioSessionGetProperty(kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRouteDescription, &dataSize, &currentRouteDescriptionDictionary);
    if (currentRouteDescriptionDictionary) {
        CFArrayRef outputs = CFDictionaryGetValue(currentRouteDescriptionDictionary, kAudioSession_AudioRouteKey_Outputs);
        if(outputs && CFArrayGetCount(outputs) > 0) {
            CFDictionaryRef currentOutput = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(outputs, 0);
            CFStringRef outputType = CFDictionaryGetValue(currentOutput, kAudioSession_AudioRouteKey_Type);
            return (CFStringCompare(outputType, kAudioSessionOutputRoute_AirPlay, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo);
        }
    }

    return NO;
