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.

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)

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

Hmm, interesting. Afaict from that blog thing though is that its only audio thats reversed but I might be wrong (haven't looked to hard tbh). Have downloaded the code from xmms2 and it sadly seems like there is no library for it, just plain code. Might need to discuss with those developers about making it a proper library instead which we both could use.
At any rate, it should be possible to add in xbmc I would bet but afaik no developer has any hardware using this technology. Please consider donating for that cause and perhaps we will take a look, might be a nice feature if possible.
Cheers,
Tobias
