Works in private networks but not in a public network #40

Hi, this project is a great tool and it works really well. Yet, it only works with a workaround on my company / a public network. I need my smartphone to generate a hotspot onto which I connect with the iPad and the Linux PC What could be the reason that it does not work for the public WLAN out of the box? Is there something I can do to make it work?

It's just the 1% missing to make it perfect, sorry ;-) Best regards, Lukas

@lkugler I think your company / public just doesn't allow client-to-client communication in the wifi. That's a configuration you can make on most wifi access points. UxPlay has no influence here.

The reason I found this issue in the first place was that I was going to ask for USB-streaming support as today can be done with Quicktime Player on Mac (New Movie Recording -> Choose iPad as Input device). That would also solve your problem.
