The UxPlay server and its client must be on the same local area network,
on which a **Bonjour/Zeroconf mDNS/DNS-SD server** is also running.
On Linux and BSD Unix servers, this is usually provided by [Avahi](https://www.avahi.org),
through the avahi-daemon service, and is included in most Linux distributions (this
service can also be provided by MacOS, iOS or Windows servers).

Stalling after "Initialize server socket(s)", with the server showing as available on the client iPad/iPhone,
is almost certainly a firewall problem: one user was unaware that
_two_ firewalls (ufw and firewalld) were both active on their system.
Stalling this way, but _without_ the server showing as available on the client,
probably means that your network **does not have a running Bonjour/zeroconf server**.
On Linux, make sure Avahi is installed,
and start the avahi-daemon service (your distribution will document how to do this).
Try "uxplay -d " (debug log option) to see what is happening. If you use an
nVidia graphics card, make sure that the gstreamer1.0-vaapi
plugin for Intel graphics is *NOT* installed (**uninstall it** if it is installed!).
