## What it is
A Ruby library and companion CLI for interacting with AirPlay-compatible devices like Apple TV, supporting video playback, image viewing, and device grouping. It provides both programmatic bindings and an 'air' command-line tool.

## Use cases
- stream a video to Apple TV from Ruby
- cast images to an AirPlay device
- discover AirPlay receivers on the local network
- play a local video file on Apple TV from the command line
- group multiple AirPlay devices to play media simultaneously
- send a password-protected AirPlay device a credential

## When to choose
- you need to control AirPlay devices programmatically from Ruby
- you want a simple CLI to cast media to Apple TV
- you need to mirror or send media to multiple receivers as a group

## When to avoid
- you need modern AirPlay 2 features or recent Apple TV firmware guarantees
- you work outside the Ruby ecosystem
- you need actively maintained software with recent commits

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, cli, http-client
- domain: media, developer-tools
- platform: ruby, cli, cross-platform
- tags: airplay, appletv, screen-mirroring, video-streaming, media-casting, automation
