If you intend to modify the code, use a separate “build” directory: replace “cmake [ ] .” by “mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake [ ] ..”; you can then clean the build directory with “rm -rf build/*” (run from within the UxPlay source directory) without affecting the source directories which contain your modifications.

The above script installs the executable file “uxplay” to /usr/local/bin, (and installs a manpage to somewhere like /usr/local/share/man/man1 and README files to somewhere like /usr/local/share/doc/uxplay). It can also be found in the build directory after the build processs.

Finally, run uxplay in a terminal window. If it is not seen by the iOS client’s drop-down “Screen Mirroring” panel, check that your DNS-SD server (usually avahi-daemon) is running: do this in a terminal window with systemctl status avahi-daemon. If this shows the avahi-daemon is not running, control it with sudo systemctl [start,stop,enable,disable] avahi-daemon (or avahi-daemon.service). If UxPlay is seen, but the client fails to connect when it is selected, there may be a firewall on the server that prevents UxPlay from receiving client connection requests unless some network ports are opened. See Troubleshooting below for help with this or other problems. One common problem involves GStreamer attempting to use incorrectly configured or absent accelerated hardware h264 video decoding (e.g., VAAPI). Try uxplay -avdec to force software video decoding; if this works you can then try to fix accelerated hardware video decoding if you need it. See Usage for run-time options.
