Multple Screens #225

Closed mischaelschill closed 9 months ago

Is there a way to have multiple instances running, so that I can mirror/extend on multiple screens?

Is this for having more than one display for a Mac client?

Right now uxplay can only have a single mirror window on the server.

Do modern AppleTV's do what you want?

You can run multiple instances of UxPlay on the same server. Just give them different (random) MAC addresses with the -m option and different server names.

In terminal 1 uxplay -m -n uxplay1

in terminal 2 uxplay -m -n uxplay2

They both were running, but I could not get a M2 macbook to mirror (or screen-extend) to more than one instance at a time.

When I activated uxplay2 mirroring, the mac dropped mirroring to uxplay1. I guess I could mirror two different macs simultaneously, one to uxplay1 and one to uxplay2, each on a different window.

The obstacle to multiple displays for a single mac seems a macOS issue, not a UxPlay issue. (???)

closing the issue, but feel free to post more details
