Hi!

I have built the project and it starts as it should, but the output is not appering on my output monitor when I start mirroring. I'm using Raspbian Desktop, should it work there or only works without a desktop environment?

radokristof commented 5 years ago

Sorry for the duplicate, I just renamed the title... Further investigating, it doesnt makes a difference if the desktop (xserver) is running or not. For me the output wont show anywhere. Where should I see the mirrored output?

FD- commented 5 years ago

I tested RPiPlay on Raspbian full and on lite (headless). Both worked fine for me. Without additional details, I have no idea why its's not working for you. You don't even mention Pi model, OS version, program log, steps you took, system modifications etc.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

iOS is the newest stable (12.4) and also the Raspian is the newest version (I can give you further info later today). Enabling the debug logging I cant see any error or whatsoever, it accepts the connection and I can see the received packets on the debug console... however I cant see it anywhere graphically

aykonsvk commented 5 years ago

I have also the same issue RPI 4, iOS 12.4 newest Raspbian. I got this response in console: ./rpiplay -n RPI -a hdmi 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 15 Local: 192.168.2.108 Remote: 192.168.2.100 Accepted IPv4 client on socket 17 Local: 192.168.2.108 Remote: 192.168.2.100 raop_rtp_mirror starting mirroring raop_ntp receive timeout raop_rtp starting audio

But when I run it with debug I can see that is is receiving video: raop_rtp_mirror video ntp = 1565522316639287, now = 1565522316634159, latency = -5128 Got h264 data of 7205 bytes Video delay is -4705

What video driver are you using? How much gpu_mem is set? How many screens are you using?

aykonsvk commented 5 years ago

I have everyhing by default. gpu_mem is 76 and driver I'm not sure about it. Only one screen. 1360x763 (hdmi) and now I tried it through vnc virtual desktop, (headless) and it is really low resolution. both cases same result

FD- commented 5 years ago

Could you try setting gpu_mem to 256? Also, probably the non-standard resolution causes issues.

aykonsvk commented 5 years ago

tried, but outcome was same. Btw I was little bit confused, becasue in README.md is stated to run executable airplay_server but there is only rpiplay

FD- commented 5 years ago

Thanks for reporting the README mistake, fixed now. Regarding the display issue, are you using a stock unmodified system install? Do you probably have an older Pi to put the sd card in there and see if RPiPlay works? Also, since Pi 4 has two HDMI ports, I wonder if changing the used port fixes the issue.

aykonsvk commented 5 years ago

Sure no problem, glad to help. Maybe another point, when I was searching for airplay on RPI, I found many people have issue with building it. Steps are clear, but ‘cmake ..’ is so confusing (a lot of them thought that command is missing. Maybe adding explanatory command or ‘../‘ would help. Unluckily I don’t have older RPI. Yes system is completely stock almost fresh installation. I will try later different hdmi port. But great project!

radokristof commented 5 years ago

I thought of helping improving the README, after I can successfully start using AirPlay. Your problem seems the same as mine, though I have RPi 3B which only has 1 display output and I’m using it on a regular 1920x1080 display.

However I still don’t know what the problem could be. How should it work? If I start mirroring a window should pop up with the mirrored screen or it appears as a full screen window?

The whole screen should turn black and display the mirrored screen once a connection is made. The program uses OpenMAX for drawing, so it draws directly to the frame buffer, without involvement of the windowing system.

Well, that pretty much voids the two theories I had of it being caused by either the display or the Pi 4 hardware. Please install a fresh unmodified Raspbian install as downloaded from the RPi website and see if the issue reproduces there. Also, it would be great to hear whether the same issue occurs for someone on a Pi 3B+ or Zero, since these are the only Pis I have for testing.

aykonsvk commented 5 years ago

okay, I did a test today, tried HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 with Full HD and HD but the outcome was same with a clean Raspbian.

FD- commented 5 years ago

Well, I'm really puzzled what's causing the issue then - RPiPlay works fine for me on a fresh Buster install on my Pi 3B+ and Pi 0.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

For me, strech is installed not buster. Maybe this can be a problem...

FD- commented 5 years ago

How did you test on a fresh OS install if you're not running Buster ?!

radokristof commented 5 years ago

I didn't said I have reinstalled freshly this RPi. However I will try it with Buster.

FD- commented 5 years ago

@radokristof Well, in one of your previous comments, you wrote that 'Raspian is the newest version'.

Either test it on a fresh install or provide a complete list of modifications you made to a fresh install. Otherwise, obviously, I cannot guarantee RPiPlay to work.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

Ok sorry, I forgot about the new Buster. I will try with that soon.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

Little update: I have updated my Raspberry Pi 3B to the latest buster. Now there is no package which can be updated. Also pulled this repo and rebuilt everything, however still the same error. Not a clean install yet, I will need to find an empty SD card to try it like that.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

Got it working on a RPi 3B+ with Debian Strech on it. Works like a charm. Only two questions remaining:

Can I somehow detect if a mirroring is started? I would like to trigger my TV to start when mirroring is started....
I'm also running Kodi on this Raspberry. If Kodi is running, I don't know why, but RPiPlay is not in foreground, it looks like if the mirrored video is half transparent... The RPiPlay output can be only seen if the Kodi dims the output, then it becomes visible a little bit. If I stop Kodi, it works normally. So for me it looks like it is not in the foreground. Would be great if it could override any output and display it in foreground.

What did you change? Why did it not work before?

Feel free to modify the code however you like. If you end up with something potentially useful for others, please file a PR. Alternatively, you could use a bash script to parse RPiPlay's log output.

I guess Kodi also uses OpenMAX for drawing. No idea how you could force RPiPlay to appear above Kodi.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

Basically this is a different RPi. I tried to get it working with a 3B, this is a 3B+, and a headless Debian Strech is installed on it... I don't know which made a difference. Anyway I already created a system service, so it can run in background/start on startup. Where we could place this in this repo? Add it to the README? I will submit a PR with it if you figure this out...

FD- commented 5 years ago

I see. Does the same sd card work in the 3B as well?

Regarding the system service: Well, there already is this wiki page for auto-starting RPiPlay: https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay/wiki/Starting-RPiPlay-at-system-start. IMHO, the advantage of starting it in the bashrc is that it can be easily stopped without remote access, just by pressing Ctrl+C. Since RPiPlay draws on top of everything else, it's difficult to stop or restart RPiPlay if it's started as a system service.

radokristof commented 5 years ago

For me these Raspberry Pis are hard to access, in general I use ssh to control them. However I didn't see this article, nice solution!

I will try the same SD in the 3B as well. Also I will try to find a solution for overriding the output, and be in foreground always. Would be great if this could be used on the same hardware which is used for entertainment/movie playback...

cloudykeyru commented 4 years ago

I had the same problem on RPI 3B. Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

The same problem does not work on iphone 5c. Although the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR are all fine. There is also a problem when disconnecting, it is not possible to reconnect without restarting rpiplay.

Vatomatic commented 4 years ago

Hello friends. I am a Pi greenhorn! Just installed the RPiPlay over Buster on a B+ following the instructions to the letter down to the “make” command at the end in the README file. I cannot find an executable rpiplay file anywhere, what am I missing?

Thanks in advanced for your help.

headkit commented 4 years ago

For me, changing the HDMI port on my RP4 did the trick. I now just have to fight a screen resolution problem.

pallas commented 4 years ago

@headkit is the resolution problem on the rpiplay side or the monitor/tv or the mirroring device? Did you find the place to change the resolution in rpiplay?

headkit commented 4 years ago

@pallas thanx for asking. I solved the problem by restarting the system and TV.

JYKeith123 commented 2 years ago

Same problem. I tested latest raspbian desktop version and lite version on my rpi 3b. I made the sd card with official imager. both not showing black screen but server logs only. I can hear audio but not video or screen. I started airplay on controlcenter and inside of an app like youtube as well with ipad pro gen 1 OS 14.8
