(Airstream
A command line tool for sending videos and images to airplay-compatible devices
(like AppleTV).
The airplay protocol can basically play videos in mpeg-4 (mp4, mov, ts, m4v)
format that are accessible via http. Thus for sending a local file a webserver
will be created, see below.
Local or remote images can be sent directly to an airplay-device.
Playing audio or offering a stream to an airplay device is not yet implemented
but is planned to. Do not hesitate to send me any ideas or bug informations.
Installation
gem install airstream
See Troubleshooting below, if you experience any problems while installing.
Basic Usage
Use the output argument to specify the ip-address of the remote device. Remote
files will be played directly, local files are hosted with a small webserver
(webrick). Check your firewall settings, port 7000 is used to host the file.
airstream http://example.com/sample.mp4 -o 192.168.1.8
airstream /home/me/sample.mp4 -o 192.168.1.8
You can also use wildcards and handle files as usually...
airstream /home/me/*.mp4 -o 192.168.1.8
airstream /home/me/my-birthday-20{08,10,12}.mov -o 192.168.1.8
Use airimg to send images to the airplay device.
airimg http://example.com/photo.png -o 192.168.1.8
airimg ~/Pictures/photo.png
Use -n option to set the interval between switching to the next picture.
airimg ~/Pictures/*.png -n 8
See the help for further command line options. To specify default options
use the configuration file initial generated in ~/.airstreamrc.
Controls

q ... quit
> ... skip to next file
< ... skip to prev file
. ... +30 seconds
