Java AirPlay Server

This project unites the java-airplay-lib, java-airplay-server and java-airplay-server-examples into one. It makes development a lot easier when all parts of the code are put together.

😩 Due to lack of free time and other priorities, this project is not actively maintained. 😩

Playback stops after few seconds
VLC installation is required

h264-dump

Saves video stream into dump.h264 file
