Nothing happens when trying to screenshare

[Strimis10]

So when I start the program on my 3B (Raspian lite) this is what I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~/RPiPlay/build $ sudo ./rpiplay Initialized server socket(s) WARNING The program 'rpiplay' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. WARNING Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! WARNING For more information see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahi-compat.html

Then when I screenshare from my iphone (ios 15.7.2) I get this in the terminal:

pi@raspberrypi:~/RPiPlay/build $ sudo ./rpiplay Initialized server socket(s) WARNING The program 'rpiplay' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. WARNING Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! WARNING For more information see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahi-compat.html Accepted IPv4 client on socket 14 Local: 192.168.68.64 Remote: 192.168.68.59 Accepted IPv4 client on socket 16 Local: 192.168.68.64 Remote: 192.168.68.59 raop_rtp_mirror starting mirroring

which I assume is the right stuff, but there's no picture, like nothing at all, the iphone says that it's connected and obviously it is but nothing is shown on the monitor and there's no sound... I've read through a couple of threads that have similar issues but either they just say "oh it's fixed now" or there's no sulution

I just see the exact same problem. Compiled version from master branch (11 Jan 2022) Using raspberry PI4.

I had the same problem. did you find the solution or other option?

[Fallcrim]

Same problem for me @FD- maybe you could check whether this is still supposed to work with newer iOS versions and stuff

Same problem, would love to be able to use this again.

Same problem here as well :( I used this all the time a few years ago and wanted to start using it again.

I think I have figured it out. The problem is with the ports used by RPiPlay. RPiPlay needs TWO ports to work. Below is how I used UxPlay on my Arch Linux:

uxplay -n "My Arch" -nh -p 30443,30444

If I used only one port, I can reproduce the problem, i.e. nothing happens after a connection. Therefore, I suggest anyone with this problem check your firewall first if it has the "allow some, deny all" policy. Basically, just make sure you have the two ports used by RPiPlay open. (I think by default these two ports are random)

I had the same problem. Looks like the're some renderer setup issue. dummy audio and video renderers are default option but when i try to start RPiPlay with parameters -vr rpi i get "Unable to locate video renderer "rpi"." when i try to start RPiPlay -v i get -vr renderer Set video renderer to use. Available renderers: dummy: Dummy renderer; does not actually display video [Default] -ar renderer Set audio renderer to use. Available renderers: dummy: Dummy renderer; does not actually play audio [Default] So the're nothing but dummy renderers for audion and video

Try installing GStreamer, https://qengineering.eu/install-gstreamer-1.18-on-raspberry-pi-4.html, before building. Once I did this, gstreamer shows up not only as an option but my default.

I fixed it, installing GStreamer as the first thing worked, so on a clean os, run: sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio

Then: sudo apt-get install cmake sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev sudo apt-get install libplist-dev sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get isntall git

Then: git clone https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay.git

Then reboot. and lastly: cd RPiPlay mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j

aand: sudo make install
