iPad screen mirror crashes uxplay

rogerbinns commented 1 year ago

If I try to screen mirror my iPad to a freshly compiled uxplay 1.61, then uxplay gets an X error. Xubuntu X based desktop. Audio streaming works fine.

$ ~/uxplay -nohold

checkout https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay#troubleshooting

use a -vs option

uxplay -vs <imagesink>

<imagesink>  could be xvimagesink or glimagesink, etc,

autovideosink, ximagesink, xvimagesink all give the fatal BadWindow fatal error above.

glimagesink shows the screen but seems like it can't keep up refreshing (the bottom third is mostly black while the top refreshes)

vaapisink works perfectly.

I hadn't realised the BadWindow error was due to video sink (no mention of this failure mode in the doc). So this situation is covered in the doc and uxplay can be made to work. Thanks!
