Hello Jean-Yves,

I've started running 0.26, and airplay works great, thank you.
But I'm missing the possibility to push pictures from my phone to the 
big screen.
I found the mail below from august, stating that this was right: It is 
not implemented.
But my question is: do you still plan to implement this addition?
Or did you mean that the feature can not be supported till Fairplay DRM 
can be added?

Regards,

Bert

That feature isn't implemented.

While Myth is doing its best to emulate an Apple TV, there are a few
ATV services that only work if the device supports FairPlay DRM. As
FairPlay hasn't been cracked yet, no services relying on FairPlay will
work.

In 0.26, AirPlay video is now finally complete. There are two ways you
can stream video with AirPlay: either a straight link to the video
file, or using a HTTP Live Streaming stream. Mythtv 0.25 only
supported the first one. 0.26 now supports the seconds.

So you can use Myth with AirVideo client for example... Any
applications on iOS supporting AirPlay can be stream to a mythfrontend
