6 months ago It could be a matter of simply that the MacBook has a larger screen size (pixels) than the phone. This means more computation for the pi. To mitigate this maybe you could request a display size with the appropriate flag. (-s)
As to your final point, it has been done before at its most bare minimum, in that the iOS device sends a youtube url to an airplay server. However actually controlling this stream and cooperating with the iOS device is a long shot. I would see if other solutions like chrome cast servers might work

Hey, I'm running UxPlay on a raspberry pi 4 b, and on the phone it works with not too much delay (a bit tho), but when i connect my macbook, there's significant lag, I run it like this: uxplay -avdec -vs kmssink. Could the fact that i only have 1GB RAM be a reason, or is there something else i can do to make it better?
Also, I see the terminal in the background (using rpi os lite) when i airplay my phone as it doesnt take up the whole screen, is there something i can do?
Also, what are the chances there's a way to make it so that the youtube video or whatever it is I'm playing, maybe spotify, plays like I'm using a regular TV, where it fetches the video on the receiving device? And doesn't use batter or network from the iPhone? Or if it isn't possible to do that, is there a project that is runnable on a pi that does this?
Thank you tons.
