<p>Note: <code>uxplay</code> is run from a terminal command line, and informational messages are written to the terminal.</p>

<p>Stalling this way, with <em>no</em> server name showing <em>on the client</em> as available, probably means that your network <strong>does not have a running Bonjour/zeroconf DNS-SD server.</strong> On Linux, make sure Avahi is installed, and start the avahi-daemon service on the system running uxplay (your distribution will document how to do this). Some systems may instead use the mdnsd daemon as an alternative to provide DNS-SD service. <em>(FreeBSD offers both alternatives, but only Avahi was tested: one of the steps needed for getting Avahi running on a FreeBSD system is to edit <code>/usr/local/etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf</code> to uncomment a line for airplay support.</em>)</p>
<p>Use the utility <code>avahi-browse -a -t</code> on the server to verify that the UxPlay AirTunes and AirPlay services are correctly registered (only the AirTunes service is used in the “Legacy” AirPlay Mirror mode used by UxPlay).</p>
<p>After starting uxplay, use the utility <code>avahi-browse -a -t</code> in a different terminal window on the server to verify that the UxPlay AirTunes and AirPlay services are correctly registered (only the AirTunes service is used in the “Legacy” AirPlay Mirror mode used by UxPlay).</p>

<p>This shows that a <em>DNS-SD</em> service is working, but a firewall on the server is probably blocking the connection request from the client. (One user who insisted that the firewall had been turned off turned out to have had <em>two</em> active firewalls (<em>firewalld</em> and <em>ufw</em>) <em>both</em> running on the server!) If possible, either turn off the firewall to see if that is the problem, or get three consecutive network ports, starting at port n, all three in the range 1024-65535, opened for both tcp and udp, and use “uxplay -p n” (or open UDP 6000, 6001, 6011 TCP 7000,7001,7100 and use “uxplay -p”).</p>
