iPad doesn't detect UxPlay server. #23

Closed Drahenios closed 3 years ago

Drahenios commented 3 years ago

I am runningUxPLay in Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. When I put the command ./uxplay on a terminal the following messages appear :

Initialized server socket(s) WARNING The program 'uxplay' 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

This should be ok. However, if now I open "Screen Mirroring" on my iPad, it doesn't detect the UxPlay server.

~I can confirm having the same issue on 5.8.18-1-MANJARO with uxplay-git from the AUR.~

The issue is seemingly solved by starting the avahi-daemon service. Try starting this and see if the issue is resolved

@BjornPijnacker Thet issue is still not resolved when I start the avahi-daemon service. In fact the daemon is already running.

Perhaps this issue has something to do with the Wi-Fi not being 5G?

For me systemctl start avahi-daemon solved it. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the README.

Further, the AUR is missing quite some dependencies (avahi, cmake (make dep))

I confirm the issue is now solved nad UxPlay works perfectly. The problem was that I couldn't manage to get "exactly" the same WiFi connection on my two devices since I was using a public WiFi. Thank you for your comments.
