Apple have announced they're extending the AirTunes protocol with video, which will be known as AirPlay.
Depending on if they (a) release it, or (b) someone reverse-engineers it, it would be good to see XBMC support this protocol, so you could start watching a video on a device and then move playback to your XBMC machine.
AirPlay target support integrated into XBMC natively?

I'm hoping Apple make the Airplay spec publicly available. Another use would be to stream Audio from XBMC to an Airport Express or future Airplay hardware. We'll have to wait and see when iOS 4.2 comes out. |

Hmmm, I've not googled the current apple device landscape, but from what I've just seen on the forums we can't even emulate an airtunes device yet - based on that I can't see it extending to video any time soon(ish)

However, based on available (unofficial) informations, it seams that AirPlay will NOT be chained to iTunes.  +777 |

Probably need a license... Question is how expensive that is or if Apple will even grant it to an open source project. Money could be gathered like for the DVD playback feature if amount is not astronomical

The protocol is reverse-engineered: http://blog.technologeek.org/airtunes-v2 There is AirPlay output plugin for XMMS2: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=airplay Should be possible make XBMC support this by porting the XMMS2 plugin.
