Nice work! Do you think that it is possible to port this to watchOS?

This is actually something I've been looking for for a while, through some workarounds with jelkyfin and others I've been able to navigate something but this seems promising.
I've got a few questions maybe later with the protocols and stuff but so far from initial look, it seems super promising.
Nice job really!

This is cool, but like the other comment said I think it would be prudent to mention in the README that this uses the Airstream project for the AirPlay implementation: https://github.com/qasim/Airstream
