A collection of libraries for Apple's AirPlay protocol. The Java library also requires JMDNS if you want to support searching/bonjour auto discovery.
The library can be used by another application, but it can also be used for some basic tasks from the command line or directly (by double clicking): Send a photo:
php airplay.php -h hostname[:port] -p file
java -jar airplay.jar -h hostname[:port] [-a password] -p file
Stream desktop:
php airplay.php -h hostname[:port] -d (mac only)
java -jar airplay.jar -h hostname[:port] [-a password] -d
Stream desktop - GUI dialog for selecting available apple tvs (bonjour discovery) and resolution:
java -jar airplay.jar
