Script fails if screen sharing #3

This is probably not a fixable issue: The script does not work if the Mac is sharing its screen (through Screen Sharing or Screens 5).

I have been struggling to get a headless Mac mini to AirPlay for my entire family, and your script allows us to get past the pesky AIRPLAY dialog (as long as the Mac isn't screen sharing). Thank you for your solution!

Interesting, I have not tried this and am wondering why screen sharing breaks the automation. Maybe you can try to edit the script to disable screen sharing when the notification is found:
