A new plug-in for Totem movie player allows the app to receive and play AirPlay-streamed video.

AirPlay comes to Totem

AirPlay is a proprietary service from Apple ‘which allows a computer, iPhone, iPod, or iPad with the iTunes music player or iOS 4.2 to send a stream of music, video, or photos to multiple devices such as an AirPort Express, Apple TV or other AirPlay enabled device.’

Ubuntu One announced support for streaming music using AirPlay via the official Ubuntu One client for iPhone late last year.
