Airplayer is a Python app, which can be used to receive video and picture streams via Apple's AirPlay.

It can be extended using MediaBackends. At the moment there are backends for XBMC, Plex and Boxee.

To utilize this in LinuxMCE, there need to be an Airplayer device for each Media Director / Output zone.

The source is available via the GitHub.

Another bunch of software re AirPlay can be found here.

To allow an AirPlay compatible device to send a video to a LinuxMCE DCE controlled Media Player.
To allow AirPlay compatible devices to access LinuxMCE Media via Orbiter and native device means, to play the media on these devices as clients, with LinuxMCE being the Server.

Thus being a bi-directional bridge.

Due to the fact that we want to handle control in both directions, two distinct paths will be taken:
