Description

UxPlay is an AirPlay2 Mirror server. Its main use is to act like an AppleTV for screen-mirroring (with audio) of iOS/iPadOS/macOS clients (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Mac computers) in a window on the server display (with the possibility of sharing that window on screen-sharing applications such as Zoom). UxPlay supports Apple's AirPlay2 protocol using "Legacy Pairing".

The UxPlay server and its client must be on the same local area network, on which a Bonjour/Zeroconf mDNS/DNS-SD server is also running (only DNS-SD "Service Discovery" service is strictly necessary, it is not necessary that the local network also be of the ".local" mDNS-based type). This is usually provided by Avahi, through the avahi-daemon service.
