AirPlay Server

AirPlay Server turns an Android device into a receiver for the AirPlay protocol, so a phone, tablet or Android-based screen can appear as a destination when another device looks for somewhere to stream to. Both video and audio are supported, which covers picture as well as sound rather than limiting the device to audio playback.

The app sits on the receiving end only. It does not originate streams, and it depends on a separate device acting as the source, with discovery and streaming happening over the local network that both ends share. Real-time video decoding asks more of hardware than passing audio through, so behavior will vary with the device it runs on.
