No video or audio sent despite reported successful connection #120

Hi!

I wanted to set up an AirPlay server on my Linux computer to help my cousin mirror his iPad to it so he has a bigger screen. So for this, I downloaded the UxPlay source code and compiled it with the commands the README suggested. When we connected the first time around, it worked. But after that, the iPad and UxPlay report a successful connection, but no audio is transmitted (except for one time where it did send audio randomly) and no window opens for video to transmit either. I am not exactly sure how to fix this. The steps I have tried so far are rebooting, recompiling, using glimagesink, ximagesink and xvimagesink. None of them have worked. I have also tried -avdec to no avail. I also tried disabling ufw, the preinstalled firewall.

My computer runs Linux Mint 21 with Nvidia driver 515 The iPad is an 8th gen iPad running iPad OS 15.6.1

I can gather and provide more info if needed. Thanks in advance!

Not sure what happened and if not done, please check system's audio setting first. Probably already checked. In that case may I suggest to use pulseaudio and see if the problem can be solved. Pulseaudio's audio sink is pulsesink.

# an example
uxplay -vs xvimagesink -as pulsesink

  1. go through the troubleshooting section of the UxPlay README
  2. does the -d (debug) show anything wrong? You can compare it with correct debug output in the UxPlay wiki
