Totem AirPlay Plugin

A FOSS Python PoC implementation of the server side AirPlay Protocol.

It announces the AirPlay service over avahi to any iOS devices capabable of AirPlay and allows a video to be played back in Totem easily.

The playback can also be controlled from the iOS device including play/pause aswell as seeking to certain time offsets.

AirPlay photo "playback" is not supported.

Future versions could act as a client themself and allow Totem to stream media to iOS capable servers like the Apple TV 2 or other computers running Totem with AirPlay support.

Requirements

Software: Totem Python with Avahi, GObject and DBUS bindings Working Avahi stack (http://avahi.org)

Installation

To install the plugin simply symlink the source directory into your Totem's plugin directory.

This can be for instance: ~/.local/share/totem/plugins/airplay/

Then restart Totem and activate the plugin. Obviously Totem must be compiled with Python support.
