AirPlay

The OhMyDebn menu (Apps > Media) includes UxPlay, an AirPlay receiver. Choosing it installs UxPlay if needed, then starts it listening on ports 6000 to 6002. To start it yourself in a terminal, use the same ports:

uxplay -p 6000

The firewall blocks those ports until you open them, along with 5353/udp, which Apple devices use to find the receiver:

sudo ufw allow 6000:6002/tcp
sudo ufw allow 6000:6002/udp
sudo ufw allow 5353/udp

Once the ports are open, any Apple devices on the same network should see the receiver in their list of AirPlay devices.
